InkScape 0.45

The Open Source multiplatform InkScape 0.45 vector graphics drawing application was updated on February 5. Some of the new features described on InkScape site are: Most notably is the new Gaussian Blur feature, which allow softly and naturally blurring Inkscape objects like path, shapes, groups, text, and images. Gaussian blur enables a wide range of photorealistic effects: arbitrarily shaped shades and lights, depth of field, drop shadows, glows, etc. Also, blurred objects can be used as masks for other objects to achieve the "feathered mask" effect.

I noticed it is the featured dowload on Apple's UNIX & Open Source Downloads page.
