Building Inkscape works again on systems with musl libc ( MR #3410). This may occur in LDAP, SSSD, or other set ups where there is a modified nf and NSCD is not acting as a proxy to snaps. Snap remembers user preferences even when the home directory is not available to the snap.
Help menu: Now using a different set of web links to link to the documentation from the Help menu ( MR #3325). Start / end markers: A bug was fixed where the path tip protruded over the arrow marker's end ( Bug #2593). Optimized SVG: Save as → Optimized SVG works again in Linux AppImage ( Bug #1738). EPS: Users that have installed Inkscape in the snap packaging format can open EPS files again ( Bug #1406). Fast crop: Transparency is now respected when applying the Filters → Fill and Transparency → Fast Crop filter ( Bug #2419). More font feature glyphs shown too ( Commit 0dacc4, MR #3449) Text and Font dialog: Font features load in under a second, instead of minutes for fonts with lots of font features. Transform dialog: Matrix tab no longer stubbornly insists on using display units instead of the units the user selected ( Bug #2429). Removed an unnecessary warning when choosing the keyboard shortcuts set ( Bug #2529). Renamed some confusing device size names ( Bug #2570). Clicking the resize separator will toggle visibility of docked dialog ( Commit 3c8683, Bug #4676, MR #2969). Caps lock no longer stops Delete, Page Down and some other shortcut keys from working on Windows ( Bug #2496). Clicking selects objects again on wmii and some other window managers ( Bug #2801). Canvas no longer blurred when moving window from HiDPI to a regular display ( Commit f7162b). Hide unnecessary warnings in terminal about optional font directories not being used ( Commit 76fb99). Startup times improved, 3.3 seconds to 3 seconds on one Windows machine ( Commit 228b6a).
Saving no longer leaks memory ( Bug#2800). Undoing Object to Path for an object with a Live Path Effect is now possible without also undoing the preceding action ( Bug #1504). Undoing Stroke to Path no longer loses the object's id ( Bug #2759). Stroke to Path works on text again ( Bug #2333). Thanks to the upstream fix in gtk3, pressure sensitivity works again with Windows Ink activated ( Bug #1437, ). We've added a link to our donation page in Help → Donate, to make it easier for users to contribute to the project financially ( MR #3325).
