Some software updates

MythTV 0.21 was officially released a few days ago and is now in Gentoo portage, keyworded, not hard masked. I’m using it now and I haven’t experienced any problems. I upgraded to a pre-release version of 0.21 a while ago so the transition to the official release wasn’t difficult.

The developers of Wine recently released version 0.9.57. I do not use Wine with many programs so I don’t usually notice changes between versions but I did notice something different with this one. They fixed some windows management bugs that has, for me, fixed a problem in KDE that prevented Wine windows from being refreshed when minimized or when switching between different desktops.

Finally, Inkscape just released version 0.46 with many new features and bug fixes. I love it when the developers release new versions of Inkscape because there is always a ton of new things to play with. The new paintbucket tool, the tweak tool, and angled guidelines are going to be really useful when I’m creating images.
