It is stable and works well and is also pretty complete from an Svg point of view. Main features/differences to the version which was in OOo3.4beta are: - IP clearance: This change allowed to remove six Gpl/Lgpl libs, namely librsvg, libcroco, libgsf, gdk-pixbuf, glib, and pango gettext. These were used as an external renderer. The new Svg uses an internal interpreter in a new library and some services. - File Format: [ ... ] - Interpretation: Svg is no longer interpreted each time it needs to be rendered (as by an extrenal renderer), [ ... ] - Quality: [ ... ] - Completeness: I implemented most Svg features from Svg1.1, but not yet using animations or interactions (but possible in the future due to an own interpreter, impossible with an extern Svg renderer). [ ... ] - Side effects: I had to fix cropping (unified with new primitive) which works now also for mirrored graphics (vecer worked) and quite some other stuff. [ ... ] - Caveats: This is a bigger change, but most stuff is isolated in the two mentioned services. There will be errors (I'm too long a programmer to deny that :-)), but I tried to be as careful as possible. To find them, Your help will be needed. Please feel free to play around with any Svg You can find and report problems early.
