After three reasonably solid days of fontconfig hacking, here's what
diffstat says:
37 files changed, 3203 insertions(+), 4593 deletions(-)
Here's what's changed:
1) cache files are per-arch.
Cache files no longer contain multiple architecture sections,
instead the filenames make them unique.
2) no more per-user global cache file
Instead, use the cache directory configuration to create a
per-user cache directory which will be used to hold cache files
when the user doesn't have write access to the global cache
directory.
3) replaced bankid/index with offsets
Pointers used within cache files are now just offsets from the
base of the enclosing data structure. This makes them position
independent without requiring any additional data structures.
This has effectively removed a whole pile of compile-time
typechecking, which is unfortunate.
4) Revert ABI/API changes since 2.3
Most of the changes were related to internal fontconfig tools;
those changes have been migrated to the fcint.h internal header
which is now included by all of the tools. This means that the
tools and the library must be distributed together; no ABI
guarantees are offered for APIs not exposed in fontconfig.h
At this point, I'm running it on my laptop and it seems to be working.
Of course, given the diffstat above, I'd sure like to see a lot more
testing before any kind of release is promised. And, I also expect to
work through the bugs in bugzilla to clean things up a bit.
All of this work has occurred on the fc-2_4-keithp branch; I may merge
that to the fc-2_4_branch if things look reasonably stable in a day or
so.
