Notably, its implementation of the SVG standard, although incomplete, has shown gradual improvement. Since the fork, Inkscape's new developers changed it greatly: they rewrote it from C into C++ adopted the GTK+ toolkit C++ bindings ( gtkmm) redesigned its user interface, and added a number of new features. With Inkscape, they said they would focus development on implementing the complete SVG standard, whereas Sodipodi development emphasized creating a general-purpose vector graphics editor- possibly at the expense of SVG. The fork was led by a team of four former Sodipodi developers (Ted Gould, Bryce Harrington, Nathan Hurst, and MenTaLguY) who identified differences over project objectives, openness to third-party contributions, and technical disagreements as their reasons for forking. Sodipodi, developed since 1999, was itself based on Raph Levien's Gill (Gnome Illustration Application). Inkscape began in 2003 as a code fork of the Sodipodi project. Inkscape is cross-platform and runs on Mac OS X (typically under X11.app, although the underlying GTK+ toolkit can be compiled to run natively under Quartz), Unix-like operating systems, and Microsoft Windows.
