Other than that, much of the development +focus was on final polish and stability as we prepare for 1.16. + +Some attention went into getting the testsuite passing at least for the +image backend. The Cairo testsuite depends on external software like +Pixman, and changes in the rendering behavior of these dependencies +change test behavior, leading to false positives. + +Results from the Coverity static testing tool were also reviewed. Most +of the issues flagged were false positives, but there were several +legitimate problems found and fixed. + +For a complete log of changes, please see + + http://cairographics.org/releases/ChangeLog.1.15.12 + +Features and Enhancements +------------------------- +* Add more FreeeType font color conversions to support COLR/CPAL +* Update test reference images against current pixman + +API Changes +----------- +None + +Dependency Changes +------------------ +None + +Performance Optimizations +------------------------- +Vasily Galkin introduced a Win32 performance optimization for +CAIRO_OPERATOR_SOURCE when copying data from a backbuffer to an argb32 +surface corresponding to a Win32 DC. With this, argb32 drawing should +perform as fast as typical dibsection-buffered GDI drawing. See the +Cairo mailing list for April 2018 for data and discussion of the +performance improvements. + + +Bug Fixes +--------- +* Fix crash when rendering Microsoft's Segoe UI Emoji Regular font. +* Fix build breakage with glesv3 enabled due to non-existant glesv3.pc. +* Fix memory leaks found by Coverity +* Fix incorrect null ptr handling found by Coverity +* Fix test compilation when font-config is disabled +* Use _cairo_malloc instead of malloc (Bug #101547) (CVE-2017-9814) +* Fix assertion failure in the freetype backend (Bug #105746) + + Release 1.15.12 (2018-04-04 Bryce Harrington <bryce@osg.samsung.com>) ======================================================================== The main focus for this release is the addition of Variable Font |
