+Overview of changes between 1.15.3 and 1.15.4
+==============================================
+General:
+- Finish vertical text support.
+- Fix various bugs that could cause ellipsization to stop prematurely.
+- Fix rendering of background color being off in presence of rise attribute.
+- Improved text-on-path example (examples/cairotwisted.c)
+
+Win32 Improvements:
+- Don't check for X and don't warn about missing fontconfig. [Tor Lillqvist]
+- Automatically use -mms-bitfields on Windows when building with gcc. [Tor]
+- Update makefile.msv. [Hans Breuer]
+
+Code base cleanups:
+- Whitespace cleanups. Hopefully patches still apply using patch -l
+- Replace C++-style // comments with C-style /* */ ones.
+- Move the pango-view tool from examples/ into pango-view/. The examples/
+ dir is still available and for simple examples only.
+
+Public API changes:
+
+- New PangoLayout query functions:
+
+ pango_layout_is_wrapped()
+ pango_layout_is_ellipsized()
+ pango_layout_get_unknown_glyphs_count()
+
+ The is_wrapped and is_ellipsized functions return whether the layout
+ had to wrap/ellipsize any paragraphs, as opposed to the get_wrap and
+ get_ellipsize that return the wrap/ellipsize mode set.
+
+- Misc new function:
+ pango_parse_enum()
+
+ This is more a convenience function for internal use, but set public
+ to go with other pango_parse_* functions. Bindings should feel free
+ to ignore this.
+
+
+- New header files:
+
+ Moved gravity and matrix stuff into their own header files pango-gravity.h
+ and pango-matrix.h. Both are included from pango-types.h.
+
+- Vertical text:
+
+ New attribute types:
+
+ PANGO_ATTR_GRAVITY
+ PANGO_ATTR_GRAVITY_HINT.
+
+ New enum type:
+
+ PangoGravityHint
+
+ New macro:
+
+ PANGO_GRAVITY_IS_VERTICAL()
+
+ New public functions:
+
+ pango_attr_gravity_new()
+ pango_attr_gravity_hint_new()
+ pango_gravity_hint_get_type
+ pango_context_set_gravity_hint()
+ pango_context_get_gravity_hint()
+ pango_gravity_get_for_matrix()
+ pango_gravity_get_for_script()
+
+ Removed:
+ pango_matrix_to_gravity()
+
+ replaced by pango_gravity_get_for_matrix()
+
+ Gravity API added in previous releases:
+
+ PangoGravity
+ pango_gravity_get_type
+ pango_context_get_base_gravity
+ pango_context_get_gravity
+ pango_context_set_base_gravity
+ pango_font_description_get_gravity
+ pango_font_description_set_gravity
+ pango_gravity_to_rotation
+
+ A tip on using the vertical text support: If you just want to get correct
+ behavior in rotated labels (say, vertical Chinese/Japanese, but rotated
+ Latin, etc), all you need to do is to set the context gravity to
+ PANGO_GRAVITY_AUTO. You can do this for example
+
+ #if defined(PANGO_VERSION_CHECK) && PANGO_VERSION_CHECK(1,15,4)
+ pango_context_set_gravity (context, PANGO_GRAVITY_AUTO);
+ #endif
+
+Bugs fixed in this release:
+ Bug 395328 – Map kATSDeletedGlyphcode to PANGO_GLYPH_EMPTY
+ Bug 397337 – Use is_ellipsized and is_wrapped to optimize property
+ changes
+ Bug 328585 – Need to know if a layout has unknown glyphs
+ Patch from LingNing Zhang
+ Bug 326693 – PangoLayouts should be query-able about their
+ effective properties (width / wrapped / ellipsized / etc)
+ Bug 397327 – pango-layout.c: 'pango_layout_is_ellipsized' must return
+ a value
+ Bug 323173 – Add layout of mixed direction text for vertical layout
+ Bug 394453 – Use -mms-bitfields
+ Bug 392628 – Don't check for X on win32
+
