Export PangoFcFont + and PangoFcFontMap base classes so that other fontconfig based + backends can be written and use these same modules. +* Redo module system to use GTypeModule and work much like GTK+ theme + engines and input method modules. +* Change modules to declare coverage by script, rather than by code + point. Add a ->covers callback so that modules can dynamically + decide whether they can cover a particular codepoint with a given + font. (This will allow multiple modules to handle a script for + different types fonts.) +* Complete rewrite of itemization pass. Now uses script information to + improve language tags. This solves problems with incorrect language + tags resulting in drastically wrong fonts being selected by + fontconfig. +* Add backspace-deletes-character PangoLogAttr; will allow proper + deletion behavior for non-Western scripts. [Noah Levitt] +* Add pango_fc_font_kern_glyphs(), which speeds up kerning a lot over + doing it pair-by-pair. [Soeren Sandmann]. Kern in the Xft backend as + well as the FT2 backend. +* Remove the X font backend, except a minimal set of stubs to maintain + binary compatibility. +* Many improvements to pangoft2topgm to allow displaying PangoMarkup, + saving to different file formats, etc. +* Convert build system to automake-1.7; many cleanups and + improvements.
