-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----Hash: SHA1 Pango-1.21.4 is now available for download at: http://download.gnome.org/sources/pango/1.21/or ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/pango/1.21 75f8dea346a160f8f45c47cd30e6ab3b pango-1.21.4.tar.bz23a12cb5a7f2dc562aab415d764810f4e pango-1.21.4.tar.gz I figured Vincent is at Akademy busy distracting the KDE folks fromhacking, so I thought I may sneak in some last-minute API additionswhile he's not paying attention. All the additions are prettystraightforward. The more complex ones (supporting application fonts)did not make it this time around and so are pushed forward for the nextPango stable series :(. Notes: * This is unstable development release. While it has had fairly extensive testing, there are likely bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of Pango. 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 emphasison internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layoutis needed, though most of the work on Pango so far has been done inthe context of the GTK+ widget toolkit. Pango forms the core of textand font handling for GTK+-2.x. Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout engine canbe 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 handlingand graphics rendering. Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for particularcombinations of script and font backend. Pango ships with a wideselection of modules, including modules for Hebrew, Arabic,Hangul, Thai, and a number of Indic scripts. Virtually all of theworld's major scripts are supported. As well as the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includesPangoLayout, 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 1.21.4 depends on version 2.17.3 or newer of the GLiblibrary and version 1.7.4 or newer of the cairo library (if thecairo backend is desired); more information about GLib and cairocan be found at http://www.gtk.org/ and http://cairographics.org/respectively. Overview of changes between 1.21.3 and 1.21.4=============================================- - Use cairo_show_text_glyphs() if target cairo surface supports that. This is done by adding a new PangoRenderer method, draw_glyph_item(). Custom PangoRenderer implementations that delegate to pango_cairo may want to implement this method if they target PDF files.- - Requires cairo >= 1.7.4 now- - Win32 build improvements- - Justify lines broken by U+2028 LINE SEPARATOR- - Various small fixes and improvements- - New API additions: New public API: PangoRenderer::draw_glyph_item() pango_renderer_draw_glyph_item() Make layout and layout-line default renderers go through draw_glyph_item(), which then by default falls back to draw_glyphs(). The advantage in draw_glyph_item() is that it has access to the text and cluster information. New public API, for iterating a PangoGlyphItem: PangoGlyphItemIter PANGO_TYPE_GLYPH_ITEM_ITER pango_glyph_item_iter_copy() pango_glyph_item_iter_free() pango_glyph_item_iter_init_start() pango_glyph_item_iter_init_end() pango_glyph_item_iter_next_cluster() pango_glyph_item_iter_prev_cluster() Make the following previously backend-only API public: pango_context_new() pango_context_set_font_map() This also means that bindings are recommended to allow instantiation of pango.Context. This was discouraged before. New public API: pango_font_map_create_context() This is equivalent to pango_context_new() followed by an immediate pango_context_set_font_map(). This change also deprecates various per-fontmap-type context constructors: Deprecate pango_cairo_font_map_create_context(). Deprecate pango_fc_font_map_create_context(). Deprecate pango_ft2_font_map_create_context(). Deprecate pango_win32_get_context(). Deprecate pango_xft_get_context(). Deprecate pango_x_get_context(). Language bindings are encouraged to bind pango.Fontmap.create_context() and remove the create_context() method from subclass implementations. - - Bugs fixed in this release: Bug 547303 – pango_layout_get_cursor_pos crashes on certain text buffers Fedora Bug 457883 - Sindhi Characters are not supported in pango [U+097B-U+097F] Patch from Pravin Satpute Bug 441654 – prefix fails when more than one base characters (as conjuncts) present after a half form the next prefix renders incorrectly Patch from Rahul Bhalerao Bug 546534 – pango_cairo_font_map_set_default(NULL) errs Bug 431394 – Use pango_glyph_item_iter in more places Bug 377948 – Make pango_glyph_item_iter public Bug 472625 – Add draw_glyph_item() to PangoRenderer Bug 540592 – Crash in HB_GSUB_Apply_String with Linux-Libertine font Bug 540036 – Doesn't link to fontconfig Bug 380094 – Fix split matra rendering bug for Kannada language Bug 536017 – Remove SF_MPRE_FIXUP from Sinhala script flags Patch by Harshula 11 August 2008Behdad Esfahbod-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux)Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkig0g8ACgkQn+4E5dNTERV+yQCfb3b+JHGACR6AUZOAXH1auMEUqu4Anj5MvfsrEPTsvHGl9O/XzCuicrju=+b5H-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----_______________________________________________gtk-list mailing listgtk-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
