+After More Than 3 Years, Inkscape 1.0 is Finally Here With Tons of Feature Improvements
+======
+
+Even though I’m not an expert, it is safe to say that Inkscape is one of the [best vector graphics editors][1].
+
+Not just limited to the reason that it is free and open-source software – but it is indeed a useful application for digital artists creating something on it.
+
+The last release (version 0.92) was about 3 years ago. And, now, finally, [Inkscape announced its 1.0 release][2] – with a bunch of new features, additions, and improvements.
+
+### Inkscape 1.0: What’s New?
+
+![Inkscape 1.0][3]
+
+Here, let me highlight the important key changes that you need to know about Inkscape 1.0 release:
+
+#### First native macOS application
+
+It’s always good to have a proper cross-platform support for amazing tools like Inkscape. And, with the latest release, a native macOS application has been made available as well.
+
+Do note that the macOS app is still a **preview** version and has room for a lot of improvements. However, with a better system integration without needing [XQuartz][4], it should be a promising progress for macOS users.
+
+#### Performance Improvements
+
+Any kind of application/tool benefits from a significant performance boost. And, so does Inkscape.
+
+With its 1.0 release, they mention that you will be able to notice the smoother performance when using Inkscape for all the creative work you do.
+
+Except on macOS (which is still a “preview” version), Inkscape should run just fine on Linux and Windows.
+
+#### Improved UI and HiDPI Support
+

+
+In their release notes, they’ve mentioned:
+
+> A major milestone was achieved in enabling Inkscape to use a more recent version of the software used to build the editor’s user interface (namely GTK+3). Users with HiDPI (high resolution) screens can thank teamwork that took place during the 2018 Boston Hackfest for setting the updated-GTK wheels in motion.
+
+So, starting from GTK +3 user interface to the HiDPI support for high-resolution screens, it is a wonderful upgrade.
+
+Not to forget, you get more customization options to tweak the look and feel as well.
+
+#### New Feature Additions
+
+![][6]
+
+On paper, the list of new features sounds good. Depending on your expertise and what you prefer, the latest additions should come in handy.
+
+Here’s an overview of the new features:
+
+  * New and improved Live Path Effect (LPE) features
+  * A new searchable LPE selection dialog
+  * Freestyle drawing users can now mirror and rotate the canvas
+  * The new PowerPencil mode of the Pencil tool provides pressure-dependent width and it is finally possible to create closed paths.
+  * New path effects that will appeal to the artistic user include Offset, PowerClip, and PowerMask LPEs.
+  * Ability to create a duplicate guide, aligning grids to the page, the Measure tool’s path length indicator, and the inverted Y-axis.
+  * Ability to export PDFs with clickable links and metadata
+  * New palettes and mesh gradients that work in the web browser
+
+
+
+While I’ve tried to compile the list of the key features added to this release, you can get all the nitty gritty details in their [release notes][7].
+
+#### Other Important Changes
+
+Along with all the major changes, Inkscape 1.0 now supports Python 3. And, with that going forward, you might notice some extensions that don’t work with the latest version.
+
+So, if your work depends on the workflow of your extensions, I suggest you to take a closer look at their [release notes][7] to get all the technical details.
+
+### Download & Install Inkscape 1.0 on Linux
+
+Inkscape 1.0 is available in AppImage and Snap format for Linux. You can download it from Inkscape’s website.
+
+[Download Inkscape 1.0 for Linux][8]
+
+If you aren’t aware, you can check [how to use AppImage file on Linux][9] to get started. You may also refer to [this Snap guide][10].
+
+Ubuntu users can find the snap version of Inskcape 1.0 in the Ubuntu Software Center.
+
+I used the AppImage file on [Pop OS 20.04][11] and it worked just fine to get started. You can test drive all the features in detail to see how it works out for you.

+Have you tried it yet? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
