About Inkscape
An Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.
Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmaps and much more. We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open, community-oriented development.

Inkscape 0.48 Essentials for Web Designers
November 10, 2010Packt Publishing have just released a new book on Inkscape by Bethany Hiitola called "Inkscape 0.48 Essentials for Web Designers". Surprisingly this book is the first to cover features of our August release and definitely first to focus exclusively on web design. The book covers a wide range of topics from creating impressive web site designs to drawing various graphics elements, such as icons, charts, maps etc. "Inkscape 0.48 Essentials for Web Designers" is available as both hard copy and eBook.
0.48.1 is delayed
November 5, 2010As you probably have already noticed, release of the first planned point release is delayed. The reason behind this is that we discovered a number of regressions over 0.47 and a number of bugs in new functionality, so we had to take some extra time fixing them. There are still some bugs left that we consider critical for user experience. We will keep you informed on progress.
