Subject: cairo snapshot 1.5.2 now available
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 22:47:52 -0700
A new cairo snapshot 1.5.2 is now available from:
http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.5.2.tar.gz
which can be verified with:
http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.5.2.tar.gz.sha1
39d6593433ce4896a065a6c4ad2882a5cc1fe05a cairo-1.5.2.tar.gz

(signed by Carl Worth)
Additionally, a git clone of the source tree:
git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/cairo
will include a signed 1.5.2 tag which points to a commit named:
ee5dc04aaf81d6ce9c496c7966ceebfbd6ab12fb
which can be verified with:
git verify-tag 1.5.2
and can be checked out with a command such as:
git checkout -b build 1.5.2
This is the first snapshot in cairo's unstable 1.5 series. It comes 4
months after the 1.4.10 release. This snapshot includes significant
improvements to PDF and PostScript output, which is one of the things
in which we're most interested in getting feedback. There are a couple
of minor API additions, and several optimizations, (primarily in the
"print/vector" backends). And there are dozens of bug fixes and
robustness improvements.
NOTE: This is a snapshot of in-progress development, not a "release".
So it is expected that there will be more rough edges than one would
find in a major release. For example, various tests in the test suite
are currently failing against the PDF backend, and we'll get those
fixed before the 1.6 release. But you're likely to notice more
improvements than problems, so give this snapshot a try and let us
know how it goes for you. Read more below for many details on the
exciting things in cairo 1.5.2 compared to cairo 1.4.10.
Have fun with cairo!
-Carl
New dependency on external pixman library
-----------------------------------------
A significant change in this snapshot compared to all previous cairo
releases is that cairo now depends on an external "pixman" library for
its software rendering. Previously this same code was compiled
internally as part of cairo, but now the code is separate so that both
cairo and the X server can now share common code, (thanks very much to
Søren Sandmann for his work on separating pixman and maintaining it).
So users will need to acquire and build pixman before being able to
build cairo. The current release is 0.9.6 and can be obtained from
here:
http://cairographics.org/releases/pixman-0.9.6.tar.gz
which can be verified with:
http://cairographics.org/releases/pixman-0.9.6.tar.gz.sha1

Major PDF/PostScript improvements
---------------------------------
Adrian Johnson has done some long-awaited work to make cairo's PDF and
PostScript output more interesting than ever before. First, many
operations that previously triggered image fallbacks will now be
rendered as native vectors. These operations include:
PDF: cairo_push_group, cairo_surface_create_similar,
cairo_mask, A8/A1 surface sources, repeating/reflecting linear
gradients.
PostScript: cairo_push_group, cairo_surface_create_similar,
gradients, bilevel alpha masks, (for example, all values either 0 or
255 for an A8 mask).
Not only that, but when an image fallback is required, it will now be
limited to only the necessary region. For example, a tiny translucent
image overlaying a small portion of text would previously caused an
entire PostScript page to be rendered as a giant image. Now, the
majority of that page will be nice text, and there will only be a tiny
image in the output.
Additionally, the PostScript output now carefully encodes text so that
if it is subsequently converted to PDF, the text will be
selectable.
This is very exciting progress, and we're hoping to hear from users
during the 1.5 series about how things have improved, (for example,
inkscape users doing cairo-based PDF export: please let us know how
things look). And feel free to pass your thanks along to Adrian for his excellent work.
NOTE: This much improved PDF output makes more sophisticated use of
functionality in the PDF specification. This means that cairo's output
will sometimes expose bugs in some free software PDF viewers, (evince,
poppler, and xpdf, for example), that are not yet ready for such PDF
files. We're working with the poppler maintainers to get these bugs
fixed as quickly as possible. In the meantime, please double-check
with other PDF viewers if cairo-generated PDF files are not being
rendered correctly. It may be due to a bug in the viewer rather than
in the PDF file that cairo has created.
Robustness improvements
-----------------------
Chris Wilson has made the largest contribution by far to cairo 1.5.2,
(in number of commits). His more than 150 commits include a huge
number of fixes to increase cairo's robustness. These fixes make cairo
more robust against invalid and degenerate input, (NaN, empty path,
etc.), against size-0 malloc calls, against memory leaks on
error-recovery paths, and against other failures during error
handling. He also implemented atomic operations to cairo, and used
them to fix cairo's previously non-thread-safe reference counting,
again improving robustness.
Chris has put a tremendous amount of time and effort into writing
analysis tools for this work, and in running those tools and fixing
the problems they report. We're very grateful for this work, and hope
that all cairo users appreciate the more robust implementation that
results from it.
This work is largely thankless, so it might make sense to notice
sometime that cairo has been running quite smoothly for you, and when
you do, send a quick "thank you" off to Chris Wilson, since it
is all definitely running smoother thanks to his work.
New API
-------
There are no major additions to cairo's core API. The only new,
generic functions are:
void
cairo_surface_copy_page (cairo_surface_t *surface);
void
cairo_surface_show_page (cairo_surface_t *surface);
which can now be used much more conveniently than the existing
cairo_copy_page and cairo_show_page functions in some
situations. These functions act identically, but require only a
cairo_surface_t* and not a cairo_t*.
All other API additions are specific to particular backends.
New cairo-win32 API (new font face function and "win32 printing" surface)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a new function for creating a win32 font face for both a
logfontw and an hfont together. This complements the existing
functions for creating a font face from one or the other:
cairo_font_face_t *
cairo_win32_font_face_create_for_logfontw_hfont (LOGFONTW *logfont,
HFONT font);
There is also a new "win32 printing" surface:
cairo_surface_t *
cairo_win32_printing_surface_create (HDC hdc);
This interface looks identical to the original
cairo_win32_surface_create, (both accept and HDC), but the behavior of
this new surface is very different. It should only be called with a
printing DC, and will result in all drawing commands being stored into
a meta-surface and emitted after each page is complete, with analysis
to do as minimal image-based fallbacks as necessary. The behavior and
implementation shares much with the PDF and PostScript backends.
New cairo-ps API (EPS and PostScript level control)
---------------------------------------------------
An often requested feature has been the ability to generate
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) with cairo. We have that now with the
following very simple API. Just do cairo_ps_surface_create as usual
then call this function with a true value:
void
cairo_ps_surface_set_eps (cairo_surface_t *surface,
cairo_bool_t eps);
[NOTE: As always with snapshots, it's possible---though not very
likely---that the API could still be modified before a final
release. For example, this is the first public cairo function that
accepts a Boolean parameter. I'm generally opposed to Boolean
parameters, but this is probably the one case where I'm willing to
accept one, (namely a "set" function that accepts a single Boolean).]
Also, it is now possible to control what PostScript level to target,
(either level 2 or level 3), with the following new API:
typedef enum _cairo_ps_level {
CAIRO_PS_LEVEL_2,
CAIRO_PS_LEVEL_3
} cairo_ps_level_t;
void
cairo_ps_surface_restrict_to_level (cairo_surface_t *surface,
cairo_ps_level_t level);
void
cairo_ps_get_levels (cairo_ps_level_t const **levels,
int *num_levels);
const char *
cairo_ps_level_to_string (cairo_ps_level_t level);
Improvement for cairo-quartz
----------------------------
Brian Ewins had contributed several improvements to cairo-quartz. These
include an implementation of EXTEND_NONE for linear and radial
gradients, (so this extend mode will no longer trigger image fallbacks
for these gradients), as well as native surface-mask clipping, (only
on OS X 10.4+ where the CGContextClipToMask function is available).
He also fixed a semantic mismatch between cairo and quartz for dashing
with an odd number of entries in the dash array.
We're grateful for Brian since not many quartz-specific improvements
to cairo would be happening without him.
Optimizations
-------------
Optimize SVG output for when the same path is both filled and stroked,
and avoid unnecessary identity matrix in SVG output. (Emmanuel Pacaud).
Optimize PS output to take less space (Ken Herron).
Make PS output more compliant with DSC recommendations (avoid initclip
and copy_page) (Adrian Johnson).
Make PDF output more compact (Adrian Johnson).

win32-printing: Avoid falling back to images when alpha == 255
everywhere. (Adrian Johnson).

Methods for drawing circular handles and selection cues
by Gerrit .
Hello everyone!
I am looking for the methods that draw little circular handles and selection cues respectively. Does anyone know these?
I am making extensive use of SVG group nodes. I would like to be able to check where the center of an object is, in order to know if I previously changed the group matrix or the content's matrices. I found no way to easily check this in Inkscape.
It is especially difficult to notice if a path object is changed or moved. I found that the default behaviour for dragging a path is that the path data gets altered, instead of applying a translation matrix. I plan to use the graphics as animation assets, so the difference matters to me.
What I would like to do now is to make code modifications to draw a little circle at the center of a selected object, so I can clearly see when the contents or the path are off center.
Can someone maybe help me and point me to the relevant classes and methods? I searched the source code and the mailing list archives, but without luck so far. I need:
1. The method that draws those little white circles, e.g. at the end of Bezier handles.
2. The method that draws a bounding box and the selection cue whenever an object gets selected, so that I can apply the circle.
Many thanks in advance!
Gerrit

libspiro
by Dave Crossland
Hi,
FYI :-)
Forwarded Conversation
Subject: [Fontforge-devel] libspiro
From: George Williams <gww@...1824...>
To: fontforge-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net
There is now a separate project
http://libspiro.sf.net
It contains the source code for the spiro library under svn (not cvs!).
The ffspiro subdirectory of the fontforge project has been removed.
FontForge's configure script has been tweaked to look for libspiro.
I hope this will be last major change in this area.
I need to:
Post some docs so other people (InkScape, etc.) can use libspiro too
Wait a little bit and see if it works for other people before posting
some libspiro releases.
(I should add that these sources are based on Raph's updated work in his
garden rather than the released tarball -- there's a shell script to
grab current stuff from the garden included in the svn repository).

this is now done in svn:
The Alt modifier is special. Pressing Alt means "do nothing"; this
allows you to move the mouse, without releasing, to a more convenient
place from where to continue tweaking the color after letting go of
Alt. As with the other modifiers, releasing Alt temporarily redefines
the zero-change axis to go through the point where Alt was released.
For example, imagine you made your color darker by Ctrl+dragging
towards the bottom edge of the window and you now need to make it less
saturated. You cannot however Shift+drag it any lower because there's
just not enough room for that. In that situation, without releasing
the mouse, Alt+drag it upwards to a convenient spot and then
Shift+drag downwards as needed. Also, you can start dragging from the
swatch with Alt pressed to avoid changing the color while you take a
more convenient position for adjustments.

Documents leaked
by Jon A. Cruz
I'm seeing behavior that would seem to indicate that when you close
the views on a document, the document stays in memory.
I was noticing this as I was working in the ColorProfile object. If I
delete a <color-profile> element from the XML view, I see SPObject's
release(SPObject*) getting called, along with GObject's dispose
(GObject*) and finalize(GObject*).
However, if I close the single window opened for the doc, those never
get called.

Flowed text jumping
by David Christian Berg
Hey guys!
With the latest autobuild (I know it's old) I see the flowed text
jumping int he attached SVG, as soon as I select everything and move it.
Do you see that as well?

HI Everyone
by Patrick
Hi Everybody
My Name is Patrick. I have been communicating with Aaron about topics
better suited to the developers list. Here is a little about me, what I
can do and what I can't do yet.
I buy, rebuild and resell spectroscopic and chromatographic
instrumentation used in laboratories. I am determined to write an open
source instrument control/data processing App for the instrumentation I
sell. I have written a few simple Python scripts for my customers, so
that they could control robotic instrumentation through the serial port
but nothing too fancy yet.
I would like to fine tune Inkscape's DXF export capabilities so that I
can use it as a CAD program. I could use Qcad for this but I would
rather stick to Inkscape. I bet it could be provide simple CAD
abilities with a little tweaking.
I presently program in Python only but I am going to get myself up to
speed with C/C++ as soon as possible. My abilities are limited. I cannot
provide any assistance with the graphics end of things. Perhaps I could
help with real world device control. I am hoping to write a Linux based
vinyl cutter control App.
I hope my simple skills can be put to use within the Inkscape community.
Thanks-Patrick

[Fwd: Next Inkscape release]

This got sent to the Inkscape announce list, but I think it's probably
better suited for -devel. Does anyone know about these
internationalization bugs for Khmer?

Hi,
When will Inkscape 0.46 will be release? Now I am working on updating
the
translations for Khmer and I hope that the bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1820369&group_id...
and
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1806075&group_id...
will be fixed for Khmer.
I hope the next release of Inkscape will be nice for Khmer. if the it
works
well both on Linux and Windows system, I will make a manual on how to
use and
teach to high school's students.
Thanks,
Sokhem

boehmgc 7.0
by Jon A. Cruz
Macports has just gone up from boehmgc 6.8 to 7.0.
I rebuilt inkscape and it's not starting up now. It just hangs in a
gc call.
Has anyone else tried with 7.0?
