They have finally released the new Inkscape version [1] and can download it here [2]. This version now supports save as (one way) in FXG format, html 5 canvas, and some updates to the optimized svg file format. Looks like steps in the right direction.
Has anyone run into any major issues with it so far? [1] https://inkscape.org/en/news/2015/01/30/inkscape-version-091-is-released/ [2] https://inkscape.org/en/download/ -Mark
