   >2-in-1 release – Inkscape 1.4.2 is out!   
   >May 12, 2025, 6:40 p.m.   
   >The first minor release since Inkscape 1.4 is here!   
   >No worries, you didn't miss 1.4.1! Due to a signficant bug that was only   
   discovered   
   >shortly before its planned release, 1.4.1 has been merged with 1.4.2.   
   >With lots of fixes, some smaller improvements and even a few new features   
   around file   
   >format support, we believe it was well worth the wait.   
   >Here's a summary of what to expect from the new release:   
   >  A new splash screen, providing a visual cue while Inkscape loads in the   
   background   
   >  Initial support for importing Vectornator / Linearity Curve files   
   >  A new extension to Clean up Paths   
   >  Substantially improved Affinity Designer files (.afdesign) import   
   >  20 crash/freeze fixes, many of which affected PDF import   
   >  more than 50 other bug fixes and small improvements, including improvements   
   to   
   >  Boolean operations, layer selection, minimal window width and restoration   
   of Spray   
   >  tool buttons' functionality   
   >  and 15 updated translations!
