Speaking of devlibs... I just committed Cairo 1.7.4 to devlibs, along with Pixman 0.11.8. I know that it is an unstable version, but we probably need to experiment with this one for development purposes, since it has user font support and other text improvements.

I did test it. I would say that it ran fine but it didn't. It had a crashing bug in win32_surface code, but Adrianj magnanimously fixed it immediately and it runs great now. Thanks!

So people might want to "svn up" in their devlibs dirs to get this update.

Often I have considered halting the win32 builds. :-)

I don't think that is funny at all ;-) ! Although I can imagine the hassle and frustration in maintaining this stuff.

These builds are very valuable to me, because at work I only have XP, and it's only at work that I really use Inkscape. All coding is done at home though using Fedora, so without these nightly windows builds I would be very less likely to find any bugs of my commits, while being at work.

Of course I could compile Inkscape during my lunch breaks, but I'd rather not go that route ;-)

It's excellent how you've set up everything using btool and the libs in SVN! It couldn't have been much easier.

Thanks,
