Notes: * This is unstable development release. While it has had fairly extensive testing, there are likely bugs remaining to be found.

If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall Pango-1.20.x * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. About Pango =========== Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed, though most of the work on Pango so far has been done in the context of the GTK+ widget toolkit. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.x. Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout engine can be used with different font backends. There are three basic backends, with multiple options for rendering with each. - Client side fonts using the FreeType and fontconfig libraries. Rendering can be with with Cairo or Xft libraries, or directly to an in-memory buffer with no additional libraries. - Native fonts on Microsoft Windows using Uniscribe for complex-text handling. Rendering can be done via Cairo or directly using the native Win32 API. - Native fonts on MacOS X, rendering via Cairo. The integration of Pango with Cairo (http://cairographics.org) provides a complete solution with high quality text handling and graphics rendering. Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for particular combinations of script and font backend. Pango ships with a wide selection of modules, including modules for Hebrew, Arabic, Hangul, Thai, and a number of Indic scripts. Virtually all of the world's major scripts are supported. As well as the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includes PangoLayout, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of text, and routines to assist in editing internationalized text. More information about Pango is available from http://www.pango.org/. Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. Pango 1.21 depends on version 2.14.0 or newer of the GLib library and version 1.6.4 or newer of the cairo library (if the cairo backend is desired); more information about GLib and cairo can be found at http://www.gtk.org/ and http://cairographics.org/ respectively. Overview of changes between 1.21.0 and 1.21.1 ============================================== - Partial work to make pango_break() exactly follow Unicode TR#14 and TR#29. The Grapheme Boundaries and Word Boundaries now work. For word boundaries, a new member was added to PangoLogAttr. Sentence Boundaries and Line Breaks to follow in the next release. - Err if no cairo font backends font - Misc bug fixes - New public API: Add new PangoLogAttr member is_word_boundary, that implements UAX#29's Word Boundaries semantics. The is_word_start and is_word_end members will change implementation later on to be consitent with the word boundaries. - Bugs fixed in this release: Bug 531242 – Leak when calculating win32 font coverage Patch from Daniel Atallah Bug 530757 – Docs build breaks because of hash sign in URL in <ulink...> Bug 530685 – Pango no longer using cairo as a backend as of pango 1.19.4 Part of Bug 97545 – Make pango_default_break follow Unicode TR #29 13 May 2008 Behdad Esfahbod
