Release 1.8.2 (2008-10-29 Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>)
=========================================================
The cairo community is pleased to announce the 1.8.2 release of the
cairo graphics library. This is a minor update to cairo, with a large
number of bug fixes since cairo 1.8.0. It is being released just short
of one month since cairo 1.8.0.
Allow users to set CAIRO_WIN32_STATIC_BUILD when doing a static build
on win32 to avoid doing any __declspec(dllimport) on public functions
(Behdad Esfahbod).
Dramatically speed up compilation with dolt (removes much ot the
libttol overhead) (Behdad Esfahbod with thanks to Josh Triplett).
Some minor optimizations to tessellator (special-cased comparisons,
faster insert for skiplist, etc.) (Chris Wilson).
Optimize away fractional translation component when doing
EXTEND_NEAREST filtering, (for better performance).
Allow cloning sub-regions of similar surfaces to fix this bug:
(Chris Wilson)
Crafted gif file will crash firefox
[XError: 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)']
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424333
Fix some matrix confusion to fix this regression (Chris Wilson).
Transculent star exports in a wrong way to PDF
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/234546
Fix some long-standing bugs with respect to properly computing the
extents of transformed, filtered surfaces (Owen Taylor, Carl Worth,
and Chris Wilson):
Bad clipping with EXTEND_NONE
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15349
Improve filtering handling in cairo-pattern.c
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15367
Many thanks to Chris Wilson for digging out and cleaning up
these fixes.
Avoid crash due to attempting XRender calls on pixmaps with formats
not supported by the Render extension (Chris Wilson):
XRender crashes due to NULL pointer from Cairo on SGI O2
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1173
Fix compilation on Solaris 10 (Chris Wilson):
Cairo requires -DREENTRANT (along with -D_POSIX_THREAD_SEMANTICS)
to compile on Solaris 10 with pthreads
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18010
xlib: Add support for XImages with dpeth of 4, 20, 24, or 28 bits
(Chris Wilson):
cairo doesn't support 24 bits per pixel mode on X11
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9102
Fix very old bug causing dashes to be rendered at the wrong length in
fallback images (Adrian Johnson)
Dashed strokes too long in fallback images
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9189
Fix broken dashing when a dashed path starts outside the clip region
(Chris Wilson).
Avoid range overflow when computing large patterns (Benjamin Otte and
Chris Wilson).
Avoid crashing due to an invalid font with an incorrect entry in its
CMAP table (Adrian Johnson).
Fix bugs in computing maximum size of text requests that can be sent
with the Render extension, (avoiding potential crashes when rendering
large amounts of text) (Behdad Esfahbod and Chris Wilson).
Avoid mistakenly considering two xlib surfaces as similar just because
their depths match (while their Render formats do not) (Karl
Tomlinson).
Fix rendering of operators unbounded by the mask (Chris Wilson).
Fix compilation on systems without compiler support for a native
64-bit type (Chris Wilson).
Fix several cases of missing error-status propagation. (Chris Wilson,
doing the work he seems to never tire of).
Fix several locking issues found with the lockdep valgrind skin (Chris
Wilson).
PS: Fix slight miscaling of bitmapped fonts (Adrian Johnson)
SVG: Correctly emit comp-op for paint, mask, and show_glyphs
operations (Emmanuel Pacaud).
SVG: Use finer-grained fallbacks for SVG 1.2 (as PS and PDF backends
have been doing since .6.0) (Chris Wilson).
Win32: Fallback to DIB if DDB create fails for
cairo_surface_create_similar (Vladimir Vukicevic).
Win32: Fix compatibility with Windows Mobile (Vladimir Vukicevic).
