I'm having a tough time finding 1.6 release candidate binaries to do a quick smoke test with.
Can anyone provide a URL? Thanks!

Here is a proposed release note based on the commit messages since the last release. If people think there are other important things to note please let me/the list know. ============================ Release Notes: -------------- Bugzilla problem reports fixed: ------------------------------- 28035, 28188, 28429, 28432, 28487, 29110, 29891, 30580, 30584, 30739, 30923, 30925, 30948, 31603, 32108, 32435, 32872, 32951, 33242, 33733, 33890, 33923, 33986, 34030, 34041, 34115 Improvements: ------------- * Massive performance improvement (>10X) for drawing on Mac OS X. * Document.getElementById now uses a Hashtable to speedup lookups. * Added support for 'font' shorthand property. * Added support for 'deselectAll' SVG DOM call. * getEncolsureList and getIntersectionList are implemented. * Added support for get[Screen]PixelUnitToMillimeterX/Y * SVG DOM getTotalLength, and getPointAtLength are now implemented. * Support for preserveAspectRatio DOM methods. * Squiggle browser now has a 'Save As' menu item. * Can toggle if xml:base should be added to saved SVG. * When a new Document is loaded a new BridgeContext is created for it. As a result each document now get's it's own CSS engine. * ttf2svg now supports 'auto ranging' so it looks at the font to decide what to output. * DOM will now detect when the child passed to insert/remove * AbstractParentNode will now throw a DOM Hierarchy exception if you try to append a node as a child of it's self (PR 34030) * Anti-aliased clips (hqClip patch). This can be disabled by setting the transcoding hint to vector or print (so content doesn't get rasterized). PR 29110. * Control of tiled image rendering based on rendering hint. Using this hint may greatly increase the amount of memory used. * The Marker interface now has a 'getCharIndex()' method to get the index of the character the Mark is associated with. node is not the child of the node insert/remove is called on. * DrawImage now defaults color model to sRGB_Unpre if the destination doesn't include alpha. * The pattern element now shares one rendering tree across all references. * Some improvements for Kerning in SVG Font (faster) * Arabic diacritics are now positioned relative to the right edge of the base glyph. Bug 28429 * Basic DocumentType implementation, if present DOMUtilities will now emit a proper doctype specification * GVT Tree walker can now be given any node in the GVT tree and it walk just that subtree. * Many places now use getResource as Stream instead of Resource bundles where localization is not wanted/needed. * Tweaked UpdateManager repaint scheduling alg. It now tracks when the rendering goes 'out of date' with the document and runs runnables until it is out of them or MIN_REPAINT_TIME is exceeded. * Arc2D now translated to path with elliptical arc commands in SVGGraphics2D interface. * ExtensibleDOMImplementation now allows 'extension' elements in the SVG Namespace (they are always lower priority than 'buit ins'). * ExtensibleSVGDOMImplementation no longer exists, the SVGDOMImplementation is now extensible. There is a new baseclass ExtensibleDOMImplementation that provides extension capabilities to any DOMImplementation subclass. * JSVGScrollPane now uses bbox of geometry if no viewBox is provided. * Refactored the text and flow bridges so make things cleaner. * Implemented textLength to return the value of getComputedTextLength when the textLength attribute is not set. * Potentially large optimization in BBox generation * The DOM tree viewer now has an option to hide text nodes that only contain whitespace. * The DOM tree viewer now includes the id of an element in the tree view if it has one. * Improvements to empty bounds handling, should decrease update areas. * GVT Render requests are now compressed. This helps when doing live resize of large documents. * Some refactoring/restructuring of svggen.XmlWriter to potentially make it a pretty printing DOM serializer. * Latest pdf-transcoder from FOP which supports '-dpi' switch. * ScrollPane now should do a better job of fitting document w/o scrollbars * title and desc changes are now dynamically tracked. * ScriptFactorys now loaded via Services interface. * Made the JDK image loading Mediatracker static (so others could use it easier). * ParsedURL now uses the current Batik version as it's default UserAgent * Rationalized Text Selection code. Copy to clipboard is now done by JGVTComponent only if 'unix style' text selection is requested (default). SVG 1.2: -------- * All SVG 1.2 elements/features have been moved from the Batik namespace into the SVG 1.2 namespace (except for flowText which remains, due to some loss of functionality with the current flowRoot and potential spec instability). * There is now an SVG12CSSEngine which has support for new properties in SVG 1.2 * Implementation of SVG 1.2 flowRoot element (text flow into arbitrary regions with bidi support). Bug Fixes: ---------- * Fixed all known memory leaks with loading images. * Changing documents in JSVGScrollPane now works properly. * Fixed a small memory leak when changing xlink:href on a use referencing a local element. * No longer uses Thread.interrupt. On some JVM's this can confuse the class loader. * Adding elements in the 'null' namespace nolonger causes a NPE exception. * Fixed colorspace error in ColorMatrixRed. * Line element no longer has a fill associated with it. * Fixed bug #29416 - problem with empty quotes in CSS. * Index out of bounds error fixed in linear gradient. * AOI problem in PrintTranscoder now fixed. * Null Pointer exception when PrintingTranscoding documents using SVG fonts is fixed (the BridgeContext was being disposed of too early). * PrintTranscoder now uses UserAgent to report exceptions rather than silently swallowing them. * Fixed some minor bugs in the GlyphLayout code for flow regions. * Very minor tweaks in JSVGScrollPane. * Applied patch 28188, fixed tooltip text & title text, thanks Glen * Applied patch 28487, fixed enabled/disabled state for toolbar buttons, thanks Glen * Fixed bug in text selection (programatically selected text wouldn't clear properly. * Fixed bug 23035 - Xlink attributes initialized with wrong values. * Fixed Bug 28785 - 'a' element not clickable with namespace prefix. * Bug 30584 - Concurrent Modification believed fixed (couldn't get test case to fail after fix). * Bug 29891 - Rasterizer problem if w/h == viewBox w/h * No more 'flicker' when panning a dynamic document. * CmapFormat4 now clips charCode 0->65534. * All Object.wait calls are now in while loops to prevent spurious wakeups. * DOM keypress events will now be generated for so called Java 'action' keyEvents (previously only keydown/up were generated). * Fixed a bug in the PNG Encoder for some 1,2 or 4 bit/pixel images. * Fixed bug in PackBits TIFF files with multiple IFD's * The 'debug' messages are now synced with GUI messages. Also they are localizable. * Tweaked the way we generate paths to avoid a bug in the Mac OS X Java implemention where a close followed by a moveto didn't join the path properly. * Fixed width/height change onload bug in transcoders submitted by Simon Mieth. Thanks! * Fixed a bug with CSS shorthand properties not being set by presentation attributes. * DOMImplementations now return empty documents if qualifiedName in createDocument is null (PR 32108) * Fixed 'flashing' with JSVGScrollPane. * Fixed PR: 30923. Text children now respect display and visibility properties (including dynamic changes). * Fixed visibility update bug reported by George Armhold. * Fixed visibility bug on image elements. * getBBox should now work per the specification. a) fill="none" will still give bbox b) It is now the tight bounds of the geometry c) It does not include the stroke anymore. d) When called on 'undisplayed' elements returns null (not sure what the spec really says about this). * Modification of use element's width/height now works. * Fixed potential interrupted bug in the RunnableQueue class. * The document loader cache now uses soft references to avoid being a memory leak. * Improved the xml:space support. * textPath no longer supports 'position attributes' on it's self * textPath now supports progression position attributes provided by parent/child tspan/text nodes. * systemLanguage, requiredFeatures, requiredExtensions now all fail to match when given an empty string (as specified by the SVG specification). Bug #33242 (thanks Rick Graham). * Fixed potential synchronization issues in JavaScript intervals. * Small optimization in Event dispatch. * Removed debug print from SVGOMAnimatedPreserveAspectRatio.java * Synchronization fix in SoftReferenceCache. * SAXParser now includes 'ignorableWhitespace' when building the DOM tree. I also tweaked the way text and CDATA sections are created. * UpdateManager is now always the 'source' of UpdateManagerEvents previously in some cases it was an inner class. * Fix for masks when using Alpha Premultiplied (Mac OS X). * Improved consistency of events from the RunnableQueue. Calling suspend/resumeExecution should now always generate a runHandler event (although the events may be "compressed" so suspend/resume may only generate one resume event). * Fixed bug in handling kerning elements with multiple glyph entries in g/u 1or2. * Removed use of 'getTagName' to use 'getLocalName' to avoid issues with prefixed svg elements. * Fixed a mistake in the generation of SVG fonts that include arabic forms (PR 33733) * Fixed handling of complex paint types (base types with fallbacks). * Fixed CSS SVG DOM interfaces for complex paint types (see bug 33923). Added new test for same. * Text Selection events are now generated even when the done event is not over a graphics node. * The double '#' bug is gone in the SVG Pretty Printer. PR 33890 * The worst of the 'extra spaces' problem with the pretty printer is solved. * Fixed updates to SVG Font based text (PR 34041) * Bug fix in NumberParser (thanks dvholten) * Fixed bug 34115 - CSSStyleDecl doesn't collapse properties. * JSVGCanvas no longer holds cached viewBox so it responds properly when viewBox is updated in SVG content. Misc: ----- Documentation updates JavaDoc will now reference W3 and JDK docs Updated MAINTAIN file Splash/startup screen now embed font (a little simpler SVG as well). Some Rhino improvements. New Tests for bugs.
