Pango-1.1.5 is now available for download at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.1/
This is a development release leading up to Pango-1.2; while there is no guarantee of stability at this point, this release is expected to be essentially identical to the final 1.2 except for bug fixes. This package is ABI and API compatible with the public API in Pango-1.0.x. Changes since 1.1.4 include an important memory leak fix, and various other minor bug fixes and improvements. About Pango =========== Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed; however, most of the work on Pango-1.0 was done using the GTK+ widget toolkit as a test platform. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.0. Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout can be used with four different font backends: - Core X windowing system fonts - Client-side fonts on X using the Xft library - Direct rendering of scalable fonts using the FreeType library - Native fonts on Microsoft backends Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for particular combinations of script and font backend. Pango-1.0.0 ships with a wide selection of modules, including modules for Hebrew, Arabic, Hangul, Thai, and a number of Indic scripts. Virtually all of the world's major scripts are supported. As well as the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includes PangoLayout, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of text, and routines to assist in editing internationalized text. More information about Pango is available from http://www.pango.org/. Pango depends on version 2.0.0 of the GLib library; more information about GLib can be found at http://www.gtk.org/. Changes between 1.1.4 and 1.1.5 =============================== * Fix wrap-around coordinate problems for X, Xt. * Draw unknown character boxes with X primitives for the X backend instead of hoping for a suitable glyph [Morten Welinder] * Fix crash with FT2 arabic shaper from using face->generic.data for two things. * For Xft/FT2, give an informative error mesage when no fonts are found. * Support shape modules with ranges beyond the BMP [Federic Zhang] * Use octal escapes rather than literal UTF-8 [Arnaud Charlet] * Use g_[sf]printf where appropriate [Matthias Clasen] * Doc improvements [Matthias] * Misc build and bug fixes [Tony Graham, Kjartan Maraas] Owen Taylor 10 December 2002 _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
