Release 1.16.0 (2018-10-19 Bryce Harrington <bryce@bryceharrington.org>)
|
||||
========================================================================
|
||||
This new stable release incorporates a number of improvements made in
|
||||
the four years since 1.14.0.
|
||||
|
||||
Of particular note is a wealth of work by Adrian Johnson to enhance PDF
|
||||
functionality, including restoring support for MacOSX 10.4, metadata,
|
||||
hyperlinks, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
Much attention also went into fonts, including new colored emoji glyph
|
||||
support, variable fonts, and fixes for various font idiosyncrasies.
|
||||
|
||||
Other noteworthy changes include GLESv3 support for the cairo_gl
|
||||
backend, tracking of SVG units in generated SVG documents, and cleanups
|
||||
for numerous test failures and related issues in the PDF and Postscript
|
||||
backends.
|
||||
|
||||
For a complete log of changes, please see
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Features and Enhancements
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
* Add support for OpenGL ES 3.0 to the gl backend.
|
||||
* The PDF backend has gained support for a range of widely used
|
||||
features, including thumbnails, page labels, metadata, document
|
||||
outlines, structured text, hyperlinks, and tags. Tags permit adding
|
||||
logical info such as headings, tables, figures, etc. that facilitates
|
||||
indexing, accessibility, text reflow, searching, and extraction of the
|
||||
tagged items to other software. For details on this new PDF
|
||||
functionality, see:
|
||||
https://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2016-June/027427.html
|
||||
* Variable font support. Variable fonts are single font files with
|
||||
various typography characteristics, such as weight or slant, that users
|
||||
of the font can adjust between two points. Effectively this enables a
|
||||
single font to behave as multiple fonts.
|
||||
* Restore MacOSX 10.4 support. Cairo had dropped 10.4 support when
|
||||
moving to the CoreText API. Now we automatically detect which API to
|
||||
use via dynamic linking, so can resume supporting this older version
|
||||
of MacOSX.
|
||||
* Support colored emoji glyphs, stored as PNG images in OpenType fonts.
|
||||
* Skia backend is removed
|
||||
* Use Reusable streams for forms in Level 3 Postscript.
|
||||
* Add CAIRO_MIME_TYPE_EPS mime type for embedding EPS files.
|
||||
* Add CCITT_FAX mime type for PDF and PS surfaces
|
||||
* svg: add a new function to specify the SVG document unit
|
||||
(Bug #90166)
|
||||
* Use UTF-8 filenames on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
* CAIRO_STATUS_FREETYPE_ERROR

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Setting up Win32 surfaces for HDC with alpha channels:
|
||||
|
||||
* cairo_win32_surface_create_with_format
|
||||

||||
New API for added PDF functionality (see above), and new error
|

Notable Bug Fixes
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
* Fix thin lines that don't show up when printing in Inkscape due to
|
||||
overly aggressive culling.
|
||||
(Bug #77298)
|
||||
* Fix playback of recording surfaces into PDF surfaces, where objects
|
||||
with negative coordinates were not getting drawn. To address this,
|
||||
the coordinate systems for PDF and PS have been changed to match
|
||||
cairo's coordinate system. This allows recording surfaces to be
|
||||
emitted in cairo coordinates, and results in the same origin being
|
||||
used for all operations when using the recording surface XObject.
|
||||
Test cases for PDF and PS have also been updated accordingly.
|
||||
(Bug #89232)
|
||||
* Fix "invalidfont" error on some printers when printing PDFs with
|
||||
embedded fonts that have glyphs (such as spaces) with
|
||||
num_contours == 0. (Bug #79897)
|
||||
* Fix missing glyphs such as thin dashes, which get scaled to 0 in
|
||||
userspace and thus have their drawing operations culled. (Bug #94615)
|
||||
* Fix other oddities caused by variously idiosyncratic fonts.
|
||||
* Fix a data race in freed_pool discovered by Firefox's cairo usage.
|
||||
The patch adads atomic int load and store functions, with relaxed
|
||||
memory ordering. (Bug #90318)
|
||||
* Handle SOURCE and CLEAR operators when painting color glyphs.
|
||||
(Bug #102661)
|
||||
* Fix falling back to system font with PDFs using certain embedded
|
||||
fonts, due to truncated font names.
|
||||
(Bug #103249)
|
||||
* Prevent curved strokes in small ctms from being culled from vector
|
||||
surfaces
|
||||
(Bug #103071)
|
||||
* Fix assertion hit with PDFs using Type 4 fonts rendered with user
|
||||
fonts, due to error when destroying glyph page.
|
||||
(Bug #103335)
|
||||
* Prevent invalid ptr access for > 4GB images.
|
||||
(Bug #98165)
|
||||
* pdf: Fix internal links pointing to other pages, by pre-calculating
|
||||
page heights so that link positions can be calculated more accurately.
|
||||
* Fix error reporting in the xcb backend if fallback fails. Instead of
|
||||
returning NULL when the X11 server can't do some operation, return a
|
||||
surface in an error state.
|
||||
* Clarify documentation regarding device scale inheritance and the units
|
||||
used in cairo_surface_create_similar_image.
|
||||
(Bug #99094)
|
||||
* Call XSync in the xlib backend before setting the error handler to
|
||||
ignore errors for certain requests, to make sure all pending errors
|
||||
are handled first.
|
||||
* Fix regression with text containing space character on Win32.
