I swear I blogged about Inkscape before but I can't seem to find it. Or maybe I just added it to my tracking list because of its SVG support... Anyway, Inkscape 0.46 is now RTW (for reference, the last RTW was 0.45.1 on 3/20/2007...)

NOTE the SourceForge download is currently source only. There are no Window binaries/exe's in the 0.46 SourceForge downloads (currently).

You CAN get the compiled binaries off the main website, www.inkscape.org in http://www.inkscape.org/download/?lang=en. Both the 0.45.1 exe as well as the nightly/dev builds (which includes a 0.46 that was built today). I'm sure the "official" 0.46 precompiled download will be coming very soon.

BTW, the Windows Dev Build, Inkscape0803122143, worked just fine on my Vista box (though I didn't really do anything with it except fire it up and mess around a bit...).
