Font-related fixes and improved error handling for X round out +the release. + +For a complete log of changes, please see + + http://cairographics.org/releases/ChangeLog.1.15.6 + + +Features and Enhancements +------------------------- +* Detect if variable fonts have synthesized bold/italic or non-default + variants, and use a fallback font where needed. + +* 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. + + +API Changes +----------- +None + +Dependency Changes +------------------ +None + +Performance Optimizations +------------------------- +None + +Bug Fixes +--------- +* 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. + +* 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 text-glyph-range for quartz-font. Use 0xFFFF instead of 0 for + invalid index tracking. + +* Fix handling of Supplementary Multilingual Plane (SMP) Unicode + characters in quartz-font. + +* Fix various issues in the drm backend including updating API usage and + general code cleanup. + +* Clarify documentation regarding device scale inheritance and the units + used in cairo_surface_create_similar_image. + Bug #99094. + + Release 1.15.4 (2016-12-9 Bryce Harrington <bryce@osg.samsung.com>) ======================================================================= This new snapshot incorporates changes over the past year since the |
