Fonts on Windows 10 that are not installed globally are now available to be used in Inkscape

Improvements

Extensions are now compatible with Python 3 as well as Python 2
The option to export to ‘Save as…’ > ‘Cairo PNG’ has been removed, as it was frequently confused with the ‘Export PNG image’ option
The snap package (for Linux) now supports GTK2 themes from common distros, via the gtk2-common-themes content interface

Notable bugfixes

As of Windows 10 (version 1809), fonts are installed into a new user-specific folder by default. Inkscape can now find and display those fonts, in your fonts drop down list. (Bug #50)

Inset / Outset and calligraphy tool dots now honor document units (Commits #8b15224a and #53183233)
Fix stroke to path for dashed paths with round caps (Commit #cb555bdc)
Limit size of font preview (Commit #06cb5e15)
Files with spaces in names are now opened by the Inkscape snap [Linux] (Commit #1a1d78ad)
Default preferences value for ‘Rendering tile multiplier’ set to a value that yields better performance on modern hardware (note: only applies if you reset your preferences file or install Inkscape for the first time) (Commit #f8dce91b)
Remove GCodetools update check (Commit #45b59e76)
Remove Trace Bitmap dialog if Inkscape is compiled without potrace (Commit #880a88d9)
Remove spell checking dialog if the necessary spell checker library is not installed (Commit #287c3a7e)
Fix failing import of certain types of jpg files (usually originating from mobile phones) (Bug #632)
