A problem in which some images were invisible with newer versions of Cairo was fixed. Outline was made the default font effect. Depth sorting was fixed, and negative depth events are kept hidden.
Text can now be outlined or shadowed. Caching now
works for vertical text. The return code of
tiger_renderer_update mixing 0 and 1 was fixed.
ABGR buffers are now supported, in addition to
ARGB buffers. A tiger_renderer_set_quality crash
when a surface isn't yet set was fixed. The
quality setting can be used to tweak speed versus
quality in more cases.
This release is under the LGPL (since Pango is required and is under the LGPL). It has support for vertical text, support for markers, justified text support, a new bitmap cache to avoid recreating (and leaking) Cairo surfaces, and a new tiger_renderer_is_dirty function to optimize away unnecessary rendering. Internal caching can now be turned on and off. Uninstalled PC files now link against static libraries rather than libtool ones.
