Overview of changes between 1.15.0 and 1.15.1 ============================================== * Add Thai langauage engine. (currently makes tests/testboundary fail.) * Add Lao and improved Thai sample text. * Improved Indic module. * Output correct path for hexboxes in pango_cairo_layout_path(). * Implement get_resolution method for the FT2 fontmap. Shouldn't make any difference whatsoever. Open a bug if it does. * Misc small fixes. * Optimizations: - Rework PangoLayout algorithms to avoid calling a recursive call to pango_layout_get_extents(). Avoids one pango_font_get_glyph_extents() call per glyph per layout rendering. We now make 2 such calls. - Don't cache run_logical_rect in PangoLayoutIter. Avoids one pango_font_get_glyph_extents() call per glyph per layout rendering. We are down to 1 now. - Cache line extents. This avoids the final pango_font_get_glyph_extents() call per glyph per layout rendering. Now we don't make any pango_font_get_glyph_extents() calls when rendering a layout (some conditions apply)! - Replace PANGO_IS_RENDERER with PANGO_IS_RENDERER_FAST for most internal uses, that is, just a NULL-check. - Use simple, fast, casts instead of PANGO_CAIRO_*() macros where the object cannot have reached us if it wasn't of the right type. * Bugs fixed in this release: Bug 135683 – Cache glyphstring extents Red Hat Bug 211964: [ta] Rendering issue with Tamil Patch from LingNing Zhang Red Hat Bug 213632: ZWJ (200d) and ZWNJ (200c) showing same output Patch from LingNing Zhang Bug 371388 – Add Thai langauage engine Patch from Theppitak Karoonboonyanan Bug 377975 – bug in _pango_glyph_item_iter_next_cluster Bug 369670 – Checked g_free calls Changes that also appeared between 1.14.7 and 1.14.8 ===================================================== * Improved thread-safety. Pango is still NOT thread-safe, but this fixes lots of crashes using pangocairo from multiple threads. * Fix out-of-bounds array access. * Improved Indic shaper. * Improved Arabic language engine. * Choose shaper/font for unassigned Unicode codepoints. * Build fixes. * Bugs fixed in this release: Bug 356666 – pango is not thread-safe, nautilus does not honour that Bug 352795 – configure.in: Bug in "checking Whether to write dependencies into .pc files" Bug 350132 – backspacing doesn't work properly for Arabic Bug 330407 – Multiple dependant vowel signs (indic) displayed as one Patch from LingNing Zhang
