@@ -1,3 +1,50 @@ +Snapshot 1.5.20 (2008-04-04 Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>) +=========================================================== +This is the tenth snapshot in cairo's unstable 1.5 series. It comes +just two days (and only one working day) after the 1.5.18 +snapshot. The quick snapshot is due to two embarrassing bugs (both +affecting cairo-xlib) that had been introduced in the 1.5.18 +snapshot. The fixes for these are described below along with a few +other fixes, (which hopefully aren't introducing new bugs this time). + +cairo-xlib +---------- +Revert fix from 1.5.18 to allow pattern expansion based on the filter +mode. This fix seemed so boring, (the use case it addresses is almost +never used in practice), that it didn't even get mentioned in the +1.5.18 release notes. However, the "fix" happened to break rendering +that is always used resulting in corrupt image rendering in mozilla, +evolution, and probably everything else that uses cairo. + +Fix to avoid BadMatch errors in cairo_surface_create_similar. These +were introduced, (inadvertently, of course), as part of the fix in +1.5.18 for creating similar surfaces without the Render +extension. Again, thanks to mozilla, (and Vladimir Vukicevic in +particular), for noticing our mistake. + +general +------- +Correctly handle an in-error surface in +cairo_surface_write_to_png. Previously this function would cause an +assertion failure if you gave it a finished surface. Now it cleanly +returns a CAIRO_STATUS_SURFACE_FINISHED result instead. + +Avoid potentially infinite wandering through memory inside +_cairo_hull_prev_valid. Thanks to Jonathan Watt for noticing this +problem: + + https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306649#c21 + +cairo-pdf +--------- +Fix generation of "soft" masks made by drawing to a similar surface +and then calling cairo_mask_surface() with it. + +cairo-svg +--------- +Fix for code that uses cairo_mask() on an intermediate surface which +is later passed to cairo_mask_surface(). + Snapshot 1.5.18 (2008-04-05 Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>) =========================================================== This is the ninth snapshot in cairo's unstable 1.5 series.
