The first two tries at releasing v1.27 didn't work. Here are the release notes again: * origin now defaults to the center of the design, not the canvas (#576) * new extension: reset embroidery settings * fix: visual commands were showing in print PDF (#557) * fix: "LineString has no method geoms" error in auto satin (#524) * fix: crashes when saving JEF, DST, and other formats in Inkscape 1.0 * fix: Print PDF not working on mac (showing a blank window) * under the hood: new build system based on GitHub Actions * fixes issues with builds not finishing or breaking randomly |

Background and Philosophy
by @lexelby, an Ink/Stitch programmer
I received a really wonderful christmas gift for a geeky programmer hacker: an embroidery machine. It's pretty much a CNC thread-bot... I just had to figure out how to design programs for it. The problem is, all free embroidery design software seemed to be terrible, especially when you add in the requirement of being able to run in Linux, my OS of choice.
I started off hacking on inkscape-embroidery. It had some of the basic capabilities I needed, and I saw a lot of potential. I love the idea of using an existing, ultra-powerful SVG editor as the basis for an embroidery design suite.
Things took off from there. I continued adding features as I needed them, and by this point, very little if any of the original code remains.
The goal of Ink/Stitch is to provide a powerful embroidery digitizing platform for everyone completely free. I want to open up the field of embroidery design, making it approachable even for those who can't spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on software. And I want folks like me, who love to combine code with art, to have an open, extensible, and approachable platform to hack on.
