During the last weekend we released version 2.3 of our in-browser SVG editor called SVG-edit. If I was a DnB producer I would call this a “massive” release, because it includes lots of new features. To name some of them:

• Rotate tool
• Polygon/Polyline Editing
• Linear Gradient Picking
• View and Edit Source
• Clone tool
• Align tool
• Firefox extension
• Opera widget

Jeff Schiller also prepared two screencasts. The older one is an introduction to SVG-edit, where he uses 2.2 version. And the newer one, which presents some of the new features included in 2.3 release.

Head here if you’d like to try SVG-edit yourself!

A lot has happened since the public release of scout. Blogpost registered more than 400 hits, Marek Stopka created bash-completion, Thomas Schraitle wrote docbook documentation and Michal Vyskocil prepared module for python and its indexes. Thank you all! I started a wikipage like Thomas suggested and indexed Packman repositories for their binaries.

Michal also prepared small demonstration video about using scout in java wrapper. The wrapper runs java application and greps stderr for exceptions. When NoClassDefFoundError/ClassNotFoundException is detected, the classname is taken to scout, which resolves it to package name, installs the package with zypper and tries to run application again! I like this idea pretty much. Michal is currently working on perl indexes and we will probably index also ruby and pkgconfig files.

I created the demonstration video for scout like I promised in previous post. Here you are:
