[Inkscape-devel] Fwd: Cairo rendering progress

Guys,

Please check out Krzysztof's work so far. Flat color, gradients, and now patterns are already rendered with cairo; clips and masks, filters are off.

The most exciting is that in my testing, on flat color and gradient files it's now faster very noticeably, from 30% to twice as fast depending on file and resolution. It's with cairo 1.8.8, no GPU acceleration (which as far as I know is not usable until cairo 1.10 anyway).
