What's new in 12.0.2

Version 12.0.2 - 09.09.2026r

Core

  • Surfaced rollback rename failures in make_hard_link/make_file_symlink instead of silently ignoring them - #1995
  • Switched the XDG portal trash implementation to async-io, avoiding a Tokio runtime requirement alongside Slint's async-io backend - #2025
  • Fixed the AVIF license metadata - #2060
  • Fixed the AVIF tests - #2061

CLI

  • Rejected non-finite user input (e.g. NaN/inf) in numeric arguments - #2038

Krokiet

  • Fixed popup OK/Close button text truncation and centered popups more reasonably - #2043
  • Added the ability to start a scan in Krokiet via CLI arguments - #2069

Inkscape

Inkscape 1.4.4

Inkscape is an open-source vector graphics editor similar to Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, Freehand, or Xara X. What sets Inkscape apart is its use of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), an open XML-based W3C standard, as the native format. In contrast to raster (bitmap) graphics editors such as Photoshop or Gimp, Inkscape stores its graphics in a vector format. Vector graphics is a resolution-independent description of the actual shapes and objects that you see in the image. A rasterization engine uses this information to determine how to plot each line and curve at any resolution or zoom level. Contrast that to bitmap (raster) graphics which is always bound to a specific resolution and stores an image as a grid of pixels. Inkscape can import and display bitmap images, too. An imported bitmap becomes yet another object in your vector graphics, and you can do with it everything you can do to other kinds of objects (move, transform, clip, etc.) While Inkscape does not have all the features of the leading vector editors, the latest versions provide for a large portion of basic vector graphics editing capabilities. People report successfully using Inkscape in a lot of very different projects (web graphics, technical diagrams, icons, creative art, logos, maps).
