Pango-0.13 has been released. This is a preview release and is meant for: * those interested in the development of Pango. * People planning to port to the upcoming GTK+-2.0 version of GTK+. Note: the APIs have not yet been frozen and significant changes may still occur before GTK+-2.0 and Pango-1.0 are released. Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. It forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.0. For more information about Pango, see http://www.pango.org. Pango-0.13 is available for download from: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.3/pango-0.13.tar.gz Pango-0.13 also requires GLib-1.3.2: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.3/glib-1.3.2.tar.gz As a change from Pango-0.12, a separate copy of FriBidi is not required to install Pango-0.13. Pango includes an internal copy of the routines that it needs, though it can optionally be compiled to use the routines from an external FriBidi library. This is a an unstable preview release and should not be used in production. Only minimal testing has been done, and we expect that significant bugs and portability problems remain at this point.
