Is http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Tracking_Dependencies#Distros up to date for the Windows devlibs?
I'm mainly wondering why pango, gtk+, and gtkmm appear to be so outdated.
Cheers, Josh

No, we have reverted cairo to 1.11.2 due to performance issues.

Pango is quite old indeed. But I updated GTK+ a year ago, and both GTK+ and GTKMM are the same version as in Debian stable. So it's not that old ;)
I've planned to work on it, but updating Cairo(and Pixman - WIP with 0.32.2) is by far more urgent IMHO.

I've started building (part of) devlibs myself too (I'm working on getting gcc 4.8.1 to work, with Dwarf2 exceptions). So I may be able to help; building parts of the devlibs seems to work.

If it works as expected with the devlibs-gtk3 update, you won't need to build everything, but the missing libs only.
My concerns are about updating Cairo in the current devlibs. I've compiled Cairo (latest git update, 1.13.1 dev) and Pixman 0.32.2, and I still have the same performance issues we already noticed with 1.12.8, 1.12.14 and 1.12.16 when moving object or playing with the tweak tool. Since it only affects Windows, I guess it's related to the GDI back-end. I'm going to test with an older compiler (4.5 or even 4.4 instead of 4.6).

Can you provide specifics? If there is a performance regression, it should be reported to the Cairo bugtracker.

Yep. I'm going to ask the cairo-devel list (if exists) about a known regression, and then create a report if needed. BTW, did anyone manage to run cairo-trace on Windows? It launches Inkscape but doesn't write any trace file here.

Hi,
To be sure it's not a compiler issue, I've also tested with TDM-GCC-4.5 (devlibs) and TDM-GCC-4.8.1 (devlibs-gtk3). Unfortunately, both versions give the same result and Inkscape is still very slow with Cairo 1.13.1. According to Chris Wilson (on the Cairo devel list), it's not a known bug, thus I'm going to create a new report.
