The +change list is not duplicated here, instead see the cairo/NEWS file for full +details of all these API changes. + +Pycairo method names that were different from the underlying cairo function +names have been changed to make Pycairo more closely follow cairo and so +enable the cairo documentation to be used for writing Pycairo programs. +NOTES has been updated to list the differences between the C API and the +Pycairo API. + +Context.copy_path() has been implemented, it returns a Path instance which +supports the iterator protocol. + +Python 2.3 is now required. + +New examples: +examples/warpedtext.py + shows usage of the Path iterator + +examples/cairo_snippets/ + shows many of the 'cairo-demo/cairo_snippets' examples + +examples/gtk/png_view.py + example using cairo.ImageSurface.create_from_png() + + +Overview of changes from pycairo 0.1.4 to pycairo 0.4.0 +======================================================= +New cairo bindings: + cairo_font_extents + +Bindings removed: + cairo_font_set_transform + cairo_font_current_transform + +New examples: + gtk/hangman.py + +Other: + Changed version numbering to correspond directly with the Cairo + version Pycairo was developed to work with. So, for example, + Pycairo version 0.4.0 represents the Pycairo version that has been + developed and tested with Cairo 0.4.0. + +Overview of changes from pycairo 0.1.3 to pycairo 0.1.4 +======================================================= +The Pycairo license has changed so that it is now dual-licensed under the LGPL +and the MPL, the same as Cairo itself. For details see the COPYING file as +well as COPYING-LGPL-2.1 and COPYING-MPL-1.1. + +New cairo bindings: + cairo_pdf_surface_create + cairo_set_target_pdf + +New libsvg-cairo bindings: + svg_cairo_parse + svg_cairo_parse_buffer + svg_cairo_render + svg_cairo_get_size + +Other: + Added --without-pygtk configure option. + Renamed the Pycairo API _new() functions to _wrap() to allow _new() to + be used for python __new__ functions. + New examples: svg2png.py and svgview.py. + + +Overview of changes for pycairo 0.1.3 +===================================== +After the recent server compromise we discarded all unsigned +snapshots. That left us without a pycairo snapshot. + +Additionally, there were no tags in the source repository so I +couldn't recreate the 0.1.2 snapshot, so here's a new 0.1.3 snapshot. + +I apologize if I botched the version number or left something +significant out of this announcement---I'm not the one who will +usually be doing pycairo maintenance. + +New bindings: + current_path + current_path_flat + current_font_extents + +Changes: + fill_extents,stroke_extents: Remove unnecessary args and + change from a method to an attribute. + +Other: + Added two new examples: context-subclass.py and warpedtext.py |
