[Ipe-announce] Ipe 7.2.29 is out

[Otfried Cheong]

Ipe 7.2.29 is now available in source form, as a Windows binary, as a
MacOS app, and as Linux packages on the Ipe homepage at
http://ipe.otfried.org.

There are many bugfixes, and a number of small improvements.  
Thanks to everybody who reported issues, and particular thanks to 
Marian Braendle to get me to finally confront the transformation matrices 
of objects with "translations only" and "rigid motions only". 

I recommend all Linux and MacOS users to upgrade.  On Linux, I'm hoping this will fix the sporadic crash during LaTeX runs on new Qt versions.  On MacOS, this fixes the crash when the Ipe window is moved to a different screen (this required updating to the newest version of Cairo).

For those of you with "Apple silicon", the ipe-mac-arm version has been recompiled with new dependencies and should once again work fine on your Mac.

Enjoy,
  Otfried
