Sketch 0.6.1 - A vector drawing program
Sketch is a vector drawing program for Linux and other unices. It's
intended to be a flexible and powerful tool for illustrations, diagrams
and other purposes.
Despite the low version number, it already has advanced features like
gradients, text along a path and clip masks and its fully scriptable due
to its implementation in a combination of Python and C.
Changes since version 0.6.0:
* Spanish messages.
* The AI export filter can handle axial and radial gradients now.
* The CMX import filter has better support for gradients.
* The AI import filter supports guides
