"Inkscape 0.47 release totally solid with lots of new cool tools and functions. Inkscape users will immediately notice one new tool added to the toolbox: an eraser. The Pen and Pencil tools have gained some new features, including a polyline mode to draw multiple line segments together.
""Extensions" is a new menu item holding Inkscape plug-ins written in Python -- in previous releases, these extensions resided in the "Effects" menu, which provided some confusion with path effects.
"New extensions include utilities to generate 3D polyhedra, Cartesian and Polar Coordinate grids, horizontal and vertical guides dividing the canvas into segments, blank calendar pages, and even paper-box foldouts."
