Confirmed. This bug makes transparent SVGs really ugly
(using IE on Windows)! Thus, I changed the importance of
this bug.

Note that IE7 (now available as a englis-only beta also working in non-English genuine Windows XP or

2003. will now support alphatransparency in PNG images ;

The Commons people delete redundant images of PNG, and leave only the SVG - and
it makes troubles at the Hebrew Wikipedia, and probably also at many other
projects - within Internet Explorer 6 users, and one of the sysops there also
requested everyone not to replace the PNG images to the SVG ones (if they are
transperent, of course), and uploaded the PNG image to the local server. Now
Commons is useless with these images. That's a critical bug for the success of
Commons.

That's the reason we should fix that bug soon.

Any commons admin doing that should be immediately desysopped.

librsvg 2.14.0 renders its PNGs with a nice white background chunk.
Upgrade should resolve this.

I meant, shouldn't it?

Ok, action=purge can now be used on an image page to force images to rerender.
(Be careful about caching; make sure it reloads the new image!)

I see the progress for several images, but the crest on

Use action=purge *on commons*.
