The chief bug fixer has been Benjamin Otte who not only + made sure that the public API is consistent and being tested for its + consistency, but also ensured that the documentation was up-to-date and + spent time clarifying cases where even the Cairo developers have come + unstuck in the past. Many thanks, Benjamin. However, he was not alone, + as Andrea Canciani continued his fine work in isolating broken corner cases + and proceeding to fix them, and tidying up the quartz backend. And last, but + definitely not least, M Joonas Pihlaja tried building Cairo across a + perverse range of systems and fixed up all the loose bits of code that came + unravelled. Thanks everybody! + +API Changes +----------- + + cairo_surface_set_mime_data, cairo_surface_get_mime_data: + + The length parameter is now an unsigned long (as opposed to an unsigned + int). The parameter is intended to be an equivalent to a size_t without + requiring POSIX types and be large enough to store the size of the + largest possible allocation. + + cairo_gl_surface_create_for_texture: + + This a new surface constructor for cairo-gl that explicitly enables + render-to-texture for foreign, i.e. application, textures. + + cairo_region_xor, cairo_region_xor_rectangle + + A couple of utility routines add to the region handling interface for + the purpose of replacing existing GdkRegion functionality. + +Bugs fixes +---------- + + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/+bug/600622 + + Inkscape was caught in the act of attempting to modify a finished surface. + Unfortunately, we had the ordering of our guards and assertions wrong and + so an ordinary application error was triggering an assert in Cairo. This + lead Benjamin to add a test case to ensure that the entire public API + could handle erroneous input and then proceeded to fix a whole slew of + uncovered bugs. + + + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28888 + + A regression introduced by the special casing of uploading images to an + xlib surface in-place which was ignoring the translation applied to the + image. + + Snapshot 1.9.10 (2010-06-26) ============================ |
