$ inkscape --version
Inkscape 1.0 (4035a4fb49, 2020-05-01)
Pango version: 1.44.7
With the new release of Inkscape, --export-pdf no longer exists. The
new options appear to be:
--export=type=pdf
--export=pdf-version=1.5 (or 1.4)
--export-filename=filename.pdf
Aditya has shown a work-around on TeX.SE. I've changed the code a little:
\startluacode
figures.programs.inkscape={
command="inkscape",
pdfargument=[[
"%oldname%"
--export-dpi=600
--export=type=pdf
--export-filename="%newname%"
]],
pngargument=[[
"%oldname%"
--export-dpi=600
--export=type=png
--export-filename="%newname%"
]],
}
\stopluacode
Unfortunately, this does override outdated command line argument.
ConTeXt appears to pass in the old argument:
context --purgeall --trackers=graphics.conversion filename.tex
Shows:
Unknown option --export-pdf=images/m_k_i_v_genealogy.svg.pdf
How would you replace the export-pdf option for the new version of Inkscape?
(I'll send a bug to the Inkscape issue tracker; it strikes me that
--export-pdf could have remained an alias.)
Thank you!

Minor correction:
\startluacode
figures.programs.inkscape={
command="inkscape",
pdfargument=[[
"%oldname%"
--export-dpi=600
--export-type=pdf
--export-filename="%newname%"
]],
pngargument=[[
"%oldname%"
--export-dpi=600
--export-type=png
--export-filename="%newname%"
]],
}
\stopluacode
Still doesn't work, though. ConTeXt persists with using --export-pdf=...
Cheers!

The latest version of ConTeXt should detect Inkscape's version and adapt
the command line options accordingly (I tested it successfully on Debian
64 Buster + Inkscape 0.92 and Debian 64 Sid + Inkscape 1.0rc).
Next year's versions will no longer detect Inkscape's version and will
use the newer syntax.

As a work around, rename /usr/bin/inkscape to new-inkscape, such as:
# mv /usr/bin/inkscape /usr/bin/new-inkscape
Then change /usr/bin/inkscape to intercept and replace the command
line argument:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
/usr/bin/new-inkscape \
$(echo "$@" | sed 's/--export-pdf/--export-type=pdf --export-filename/')
Then make sure the shell script is executable:
chmod +x /usr/bin/inkscape
This produces the expected results:
graphics > inclusion > checking conversion of 'genealogy-sm',
fullname 'images/genealogy-sm.svg', old format 'svg', new format
'pdf', conversion 'default', resolution 'default', arguments ''
graphics > inclusion > converting 'genealogy-sm'
('images/genealogy-sm.svg') from 'svg' to 'pdf'
graphics > inclusion > new graphic, using hash
'images/m_k_i_v_genealogy-sm.svg.pdf->1->crop->->->default->default->default'
Stay safe everybody.
