Inkscape upgrade to .47 or stay with .46?

[gpswancity]

Morning everyone...
Just wondering which version people are liking to run, and the pro's and con's of the upgrade.
Happy New Year to all, a bit late, but just getting settled back in after the holidays!!
Thanks a bunch.

My opinion "get .47! for sure. Both have their problems but you can do so much more with .47 and it is as staple as .46 was on my MAC.

The only thing you want to beware of are the tutorials on Inkscape that are over 6 months old as some of the techniques changed between versions and if you follow a .46 tutorial in .47 you won't necessarily get the result you want. Especially when using TEXT or RECTANGLES.

HeatherM (http://imagesbyheatherm.wordpress.com/m ... tutorials/) she has updated hers to include .47

Cuttingtime (http://cuttingtime.blogspot.com) also has some excellent tutorials on Ink .47. Really cool techniques you'll want to know about.

ScrappyDew (http://scrappydew.com) has a few too.

Hope that answers your question and gives you a leg up on Inkscape.

I gotta agree I really like the new stuff in .47. I just updated a week or so ago and so far I haven't missed .46 a bit
