macSVG 1.1.0 Release
macSVG is a MIT-licensed open-source macOS app for designing HTML5 SVG 1.1 (Scalable Vector Graphics) art and animation.
macSVG can produce dynamic, high-quality graphics and animation for HTML5 web views that work on most major desktop and mobile platforms, including iOS, Android, macOS, Microsoft Windows and Linux.
macSVG uses the standard macOS WebKit framework for interactive editing and rendering of SVG documents, in addition to several Cocoa plug-in bundles for editing SVG elements and attributes.

macSVG Release Notes
macSVG v1.1 - October 24, 2017
Several improvements and bug fixes were made for using the "transform" attribute for translate, scale, rotate, skewX and skewY operations. The interactive controls in the web view now work better with nested transformations using <g> group elements. Although a transform attribute can contain multiple operations, the controls may work better if the transform operations are divided into nested groups.
A new center of rotation control handle is now displayed in the web view while editing a rotate transform. The new handle can be dragged in the web view to change the center of rotation point, and the other handles can be dragged to rotate around the center of rotation point.
A new item is added to the Plug-Ins menu called "Path Text Generator". The user can enter a line of text and select a font, then click a button to generate a <path> element to draw the shape of the text. User settings are available for font size and origin offset. Two options are available for generating the path: 1) the whole string converted to a single path element, or 2) each character in the string is converted as a separate path element.
