Overview of changes between 1.15.2 and 1.15.3
==============================================
- Fix Hangul crasher and other Hangul bugs introduced in 1.15.2
- Spell-checked docs
- Build fixes
- Don't introduce bitfields in public structs.  This changes some public API
  that was broken in the 1.15 series.  The new struct is backward compatible
  with the older Pango series, but not with earlier 1.15.x devel releases.

- New Public API:

  * PangoAnalysis.flags and PANGO_ANALYSIS_FLAGS_CENTERED_BASELINE.  These are
    mostly only useful for the vertical text support in Pango, but language
    bindings probably want to update their bindings for PangoAnalysis to
    include these.

  * New PangoMatrix methods:

	pango_matrix_transform_distance()
	pango_matrix_transform_point()
	pango_matrix_transform_rectangle()
	pango_matrix_transform_pixel_rectangle()

    The transform_rectangle methods are particularly useful when an
    app/toolkit wants to know the extents of a rotated layout in device
    coordinates.  It will be used by Gtk+ for example, and is used by the
    pango-view tool too.  The _pixel_ variant takes a PangoRectangle in device
    units instead of Pango units.

  * Unit conversion helpers:

	pango_units_from_double()
	pango_units_to_double()
	pango_extents_to_pixels()

    The first two just convert between Pango units (fixed precision) and
    double floating-point numbers.  The current implementations are as simple
    as "(int)floor (d * PANGO_SCALE + 0.5)" and "(double)i / PANGO_SCALE", but
    the idea is to have optimized versions of these that do not use the FPU in
    the future.  That will be appreciated by embedded devices without FPU
    units.  Since the functionality can be generally useful, the API is made
    public.

    The pango_extents_to_pixels() function in conjunction with
    pango_matrix_transform_rectangle() makes it possible to convert extents to
    device space and round then, instead of having to transform rounded
    user-space extents.

- Bugs fixed in this release:
	Bug 351496 – PangoAnalysis::gravity breaks binary compatibility
	Bug 388702 – Crash when there's no Hangul glyph in the font.
	Bug 384543 – FcFontMatch misuse
	Bug 392789 – vpath build fails in basic module
		     Patch from J. Ali Harlow
	Bug 390877 – Don't feed pango-features.h to glib-mkenums
		     Patch from Yevgen Muntyan


Overview of changes between 1.15.1 and 1.15.2
==============================================
* Engines:
  - Improved Hangul shaper engine
  - Improved Indic shaper and language engines
  - Require libthai >= 0.1.7 for the Thai language engine

* Optimizations:
  - Avoid some floating-point operations.  Should cut the number of float
    ops per expose event in pangocairo to a half.
  - Cache ink and logical extents for PangoLayout

* New Public API:

  - New, generated, public header file pango-features.h.  Included by
    pango.h.  Currently contains the version information.  In the future,
    can be expanded to define which backends have been enabled, etc.

  - Public macros and functions for compile- and run-time version checking:

	PANGO_VERSION_ENCODE()
	PANGO_VERSION_MAJOR
	PANGO_VERSION_MINOR
	PANGO_VERSION_MICRO
	PANGO_VERSION
	PANGO_VERSION_STRING
	PANGO_VERSION_CHECK()
	pango_version()
	pango_version_string()
	pango_version_check()

    The scheme chosen here is a mixture of approaches taken by glib and cairo.
    The advantage over the glib model is that there are no public variables,
    but it still gives access to a string and numerical representation of the
    version number at compile- and run-time.
    
    The macros enable conditional compilation of code depending on newer Pango
    APIs, while the runtime functions allow refusing to run against old
    versions of the library.

  - New, readonly, version of methods that give read/write access to the
    internals of PangoLayout:

	pango_layout_get_line_readonly()
	pango_layout_get_lines_readonly()
	pango_layout_iter_get_line_readonly()
	pango_layout_iter_get_run_readonly()

    These should be used when you do not intend to modify the run/line,
    which is most of the time the case.  The only exception known to me
    is Firefox that adjusts glyph widths to do justification.  Most other
    uses that do not write to the returned structs (or structs accessible from
    them) should be ported to the new readonly API to benefit from major
    optimizations (in this case, line extents caching).  The list includes,
    but is not limited to, Gtk+, SWT, ClassPath, gnome-applets, libgnomeprint,
    xmlroff, GtkMathView, Conglomerate, Dia, Anjuta, wxWindows, The Gimp, 
    and various other applications/libraries:

      http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&q=+pango_layout_(iter_)%3Fget_(lines%3F%7Crun)%5B%5E_%5D&start=50&sa=N

    Worth noting here is that, many uses of pango_layout_get_lines() can be
    replaced by a pango_layout_get_iter() that works both more elegantly and
    more efficiently.  The versioning macros introduced in this release can be
    used to make code use these new symbols without breaking compilation
    against older Pango (though, such code compiled with the new Pango cannot
    be run against an older Pango).

  - pango_language_get_default(): Note that, this does not make Pango
    fallback to the default language automatically (yet), but the user can
    use this function to set the default language of the locale on a context:

	  pango_context_set_language (context, pango_language_get_default());

    This essentially deprecates gtk_get_default_language().  The pango-view
    tool has been updated to use this feature, so it now respects $LANG when
    choosing fonts.

  - pango_color_to_string().

* Bugs fixed in this release:
	Bug 326099 – Setting width, indentation and ellipsizing doesn't work
		     as I would expect
	Bug 385478 – Fix tests on OPD platform
	Bug 319808 – Patch to let pango support artifical italic, bold and
		     bold italic styles for the fonts which don't have these styles.
		     Patch from James Su
	Bug 385321 – Worst case expansion for Sinhala
		     Patch from Harshula
	Red Hat Bug 211574: [hi/ml/si_LK] cursor naviation is wrong when
		     using ZWJ (200d)
		     Patch from LingNing Zhang
	Red Hat Bug 216424: [te_IN] pango - consonant + dependent vowel (ai)
		     Composed char is not rendering properly
		     Patch from LingNing Zhang

		     Patch from Matthew Barnes
	Red Hat Bug 216850: Issue in combination with vowels (ml_IN)
		     Patch from LingNing Zhang
	Bug 382437 – tests/testboundaries fails
	Bug 333982 – Fallback to $LANG whenever NULL PangoLanguage is used
		     Patch from LingNing Zhang

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.

	Bug 135683 – Cache glyphstring extents
	Red Hat Bug 211964: [ta] Rendering issue with Tamil

  http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/HarfBuzz
* Improved documentation.
* Misc bug fixes.
* Fixed many compiler warnings.
* Bugs fixed in this release:
  332656,335840,334802,337029,337821,338343

Overview of changes between 1.11.99 and 1.12.0
==============================================
* Compilations fixes for MSVC. [#333115, Tor Lillqvist]
* More NULL-check against unusable fonts, helps with Win32 fonts without
  a Unicode cmap. [Tor]
* Use g_print instead of printf for debugging output in Win32 backend.
  [#332855, Tor]

Overview of changes between 1.11.6 and 1.11.99
==============================================
* Fix problem recently introduced that made Win32 backend render boxes
  only. [#332538, Hans Breuer]
* Insert '?' chars instead of invalid UTF-8 sequences in
  pango_layout_set_text [#33195]
* Bugs fixed in this release:
  332167,332538,331995

Overview of changes between 1.11.5 and 1.11.6
=============================================
* Do not export macros PANGO_GLYPH_EMPTY, PANGO_GLYPH_UNKNOWN_FLAG and
  PANGO_GET_UNKNOWN_GLYPH publicly; just in the engine/backend interface.
* Fix a few crashers, especially when a font cannot be read. [#314239]
* Change some g_critical's to g_warning, where it's not application's
  fault. [#331723]
* Bugs fixed in this release:
  330795,331038,329148,331994,331995,331996,314239,331723

Overview of changes between 1.11.4 and 1.11.5
=============================================
* Cleanup work on the win32 backend.  Families are not listed all
  in lower case anymore.
* New public function: pango_win32_font_description_from_logfont.
* pango-view accepts --wrap now, and lists backends in --help output.
* A couple minor bug fixes.

Overview of changes between 1.11.3 and 1.11.4
=============================================
* Major change in the low-level interface of Pango.  The special value
  PANGO_GLYPH_EMPTY is now defined to mean a "draw nothing" glyph.  This
  was what glyph 0 was used for previously.  As a result, bumped up the
  Pango module version, meaning that modules compiled against earlier
  versions are probably not compatible with this release. [#73147]
* New framework in examples for building a binary called pango-view,
  that can be used to render a text file using any of the available
  backends.  This is installed into bindir now.

  drawing a single-row hexbox for very small font sizes.
* Improved documentation.

=============================================
* Do not crash if the shapers fail.
* Use g_slice for various struct allocations.
* 100% symbol coverage in docs.
* Misc bug fixes and documentation improvements.
* Janitory works, like removing unneeded files.
