Inkscape is an open-source vector graphics editor similar to Adobe Illustrator, Freehand, Xara X or Corel Draw. While Inkscape does not have all the features of the leading vector editors, the latest versions provide for a large portion of basic vector graphics editing capabilities. Now, Inkscape has new version 0.47. Some new features available

• Timed autosave: no more lost work
• Many other improvements, usability tweaks, memleak stops, and misc bugfixes
• Spiro splines: an exciting new way to work with paths, fully supported in Pen, Pencil, and Node tools
• Auto smooth nodes: a new type of node that keeps the path as smooth as possible as you move it or its neighbors
• New modes in Tweak tool: pushing and jittering whole objects, scaling/rotating objects, deleting and duplicating using the “soft brush”
• Reworked, much more usable snapping system and a Snapping toolbar
• New path effects, including sketch, hatching, envelope deformation; effects can be stacked and assigned to groups
• A huge collection of preset filters in the new Filters menu
• New cairo-based PS and EPS export: improved quality, more features supported, fallback rasterization for filters and transparency
