Sketch 0.6.8 - A vector drawing program
Sketch is a vector drawing program for Linux and other unices. It's
intended to be a flexible and powerful tool for illustrations, diagrams
and other purposes.
Despite the low version number, it already has advanced features like
gradients, text along a path and clip masks and is fully scriptable due
to its implementation in a combination of Python and C.
News:
- -----
Summary of the Changes since 0.6.7:
* An export filter for PDF files
* The SVG export filter supports linear and radial gradients now.
* Pressing Ctrl when moving object or Bezier-nodes now also
constrains to diagonals in addition to horizontal and vertical
movement.
* You can now click and drag a bezier segment in edit mode.
* Bug fixes
Homepage:
- ---------
http://sketch.sourceforge.net/
Features:
- ---------
o Drawing primitives:
o Rectangles
o Ellipses
o Bezier curves
o Bitmap images: JPEG, GIF,...
(all types the Python Imaging Library can read)
o Encapsulated PostScript
o Text
o All objects, including images and text, can be rotated,
scaled, sheared, etc. (all affine transformations are
possible)
o Gradient fills
o Special Effects and Features:
o Use rectangles, ellipses and bezier objects as guides
o Blend Groups: Automatically updated interpolations of
arbitrary objects
o Text can be converted to bezier objects.
o Text along Path
o Exports Encapsulated PostScript, PDF, SVG and Adobe Illustrator files
o Imports Adobe Illustrator, Corel CMX, SVG, XFig and WMF files

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
A new version of dds2tar is now available.
dds2tar is a program to speed up the extraction of
files from DAT tapes by using the SCSI-seek command.
The beginning of a file is accessed within a minute.
A patch for tar is also available to seperate the
file listing with block numbers from the error messages.
This new version can operate together with the
GNU-tar version 1.13.
Some problems with quoted characters are solved as well.
With regards
Jörg
