Hi Bernhard,<br><br>We have another useful improvement. We refactored svgloader.py to remove pyXML package dependency. As you known, pyXML is no longer maintained and last release was in 2004. Therefore pyXML has a bug in build script and produces corrupted package installation.
<br><br>To avoid these problems we substituted pyXML by built-in Python SAX parser. The source code you can find on following link:<br><br><a href="http://sk1.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sk1/trunk/sK1/src/app/plugins/Filters/svgloader.py?view=log">
http://sk1.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sk1/trunk/sK1/src/app/plugins/Filters/svgloader.py?view=log</a><br><br>In current state (revision 207) refactored svgloader.py is fully compatible with Skencil 0.6.x. Later compatibility will be broken due to text engine UTF8 migration.
