Inkscape 1.4 Release Notes
When creating a new guide, all guides are now unlocked, so the new guide can be moved and adjusted freely (MR #5814).
Toolbars now try to make use of the available space by not hiding options in dropdown menus when there's enough space. Instead, they are sorted into multiple dropdown menus, when the window is shrunk or there is not enough space.
Previously, any options that did not fit went into the same small arrow dropdown at the end of the toolbar and were hard to discover.
The change also leads to a larger minimal width of the Inkscape window, which is now dependent upon the selected tool with its collapsed toolbar items.
A new option has been added to automatically convert the currently drawn shape to guides, allowing users to 'draw' guides instead of dragging them out of the rulers. It comes without a keyboard shortcut, but you can set one in the preferences (MR #6308).
