=3D=3D=3D Unexpected features (aka "bugs") =3D=3D=3D

Please test away and report your findings at https://inkscape.org/report!=
 We=20
are especially interested in:

    - problems with texts in Inkscape files from older Inkscape versions
    - unknown crashes
    - extensions not doing what they should be doing

    - things that worked in 0.92.4, but are no longer working in the beta=
=20
version.

[breaking change] The extension API (inkex) changed! There is a compatibi=
lity=20
layer, but if you maintain an extension, make sure to update it with the =
new=20
extension API=20


=3D=3D=3D Translation =3D=3D=3D

Translators are encouraged to start looking at translation work.  String
freeze will be soon, but we do not anticipate any serious changes between=

now and string freeze out of some adjustments in the text UI so please fe=

Please aim to get all translation work committed and submitted by the end=
