“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.”
