Xara has recently open-sourced their product as part of this plan to establish it as an industry standard on Linux. This is territory neither Microsoft nor Adobe dare to tread.

Nice release, but just where is the open source version? I don't see it on their site.

Cool. Another nifty app for me to try to learn in the free time I don't have. :)

The learning curve isn't bad. Reminds me more of inkscape than of gimp or photoshop. If you want to try the latest one, Just untar into your home folder, and run the full path of the executable.
