            This release has an [MSRV][] of 1.88.


            ### Added


            - `TextureId`, a handle for user-provided textures resolved at render-time, and `EncodedExternalTexture` for encoding draws that sample from them. ([#1552][] by [@tomcur][])

            
            - `RectU16`, a shared axis-aligned rectangle type for `u16` coordinate bounding boxes. ([#1559][] by [@tomcur][])


            ### Changed


            - `WideTilesBbox` now uses `RectU16` internally, its `bbox` field is private, and `WideTilesBbox::new` now takes four `u16` coordinates instead of a `[u16; 4]`. ([#1559][] by [@tomcur][])

            
            - Renamed image transparency hint APIs from `may_have_opacities` and `*_opacity_hint` to `may_have_transparency` and `*_transparency_hint`. ([#1613][] by [@upsuper][])

            
            - Gradient LUTs no longer reserve an extra transparent entry for undefined radial-gradient regions; `EncodedGradient` now tracks whether those regions are possible. ([#1529][] by [@LaurenzV][])


            ### Removed


            - Public `glyph` and `colr` modules and the `text` feature; sparse-strips text rendering now lives in `glifo` and the renderer crates. ([#1562][] by [@LaurenzV][])

            
            - Support for recordings, including the shared recording API.

            
              This decision was made due to a number of downsides that came with the implementation.

            
              See the corresponding PR and Zulip thread for more information. ([#1611][] by [@LaurenzV][])

            - Implicit subpaths that continue after `ClosePath` without an explicit `MoveTo`. ([#1544][] by [@tomcur][])

            
            - Negative-sized rectangles during strip generation. ([#1589][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	This release has an [MSRV][] of 1.89.

	### Added

	- `TargetInit<C>` for configuring target clears or compositing over existing contents. ([#1866][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Public `pixmap::premultiply_rgba8` and `unpremultiply_rgba8` helpers. ([#1930][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	- Rectangular clip support in `ClipContext`, `ClipState`, and `ViewportState`. ([#1916][], [#1926][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	### Changed

	- Breaking change: Unified pixmap construction in `Pixmap::from_parts`, which now accepts `Vec<u8>` and `PixelMetadata`. ([#1834][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Breaking change: Replaced `Pixmap::take` and `take_unpremultiplied` with `take_rgba8` and `try_take_rgb8`, adding RGB output support. ([#1855][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Breaking change: Atlas sizes, allocation dimensions, and image-cache offsets now use `u16`; the `OffsetU32`, `SizeU32`, and `RectU32` geometry types have been removed. ([#1826][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Breaking change: Updated `fearless_simd` to v0.7.0 and adapted the SIMD utility APIs. ([#1853][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Breaking change: `ClipContext`, `ClipState`, and `ViewportState` rename `push_clip` to `push_clip_path`, and their clip accessors now return `ClipRef` instead of `PathDataRef`. ([#1916][], [#1926][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	## [0.2.0][] - 2026-08-07

	This release has an [MSRV][] of 1.88.

	### Added

	- `ProbeResult::statistics`, `ProbeStatistics`, and `ProbeFeature` for diagnosing which renderer-probe features and pixels differ from the reference output. ([#1779][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- `PROBE_ELEMENTS` for inspecting the active features used by the shared probe scene. ([#1801][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	### Changed

	- Breaking change: `AtlasError` variants now report configured limits and allocation sizes, with the new `AtlasSpaceDiagnostics` and `AtlasLayerDiagnostics` types providing per-layer free-space, utilization, and fragmentation details. ([#1778][] by [@grebmeg][])

	## [0.1.0][] - 2026-07-29

	This release has an [MSRV][] of 1.88.

	### Added

	- `FilterPrimitive::DropShadowOnly` for rendering a drop shadow without compositing the original input over it. ([#1763][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Support for inverse blurred rounded rectangles, enabling inset box shadows in the renderer crates. ([#1715][] by [@nicoburns][])

	### Changed

	- Breaking change: Filter bounds now distinguish the output expansion from the source expansion required to compute a filter. The `bounds_expansion` APIs have been replaced by `filter_expansion` and `source_expansion`. ([#1701][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Breaking change: Filter padding now uses the new `PaddingU16` type, `RectU16::intersect` no longer produces inverted rectangles, and `strip_bbox` now returns `Option<RectU16>`. ([#1751][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	### Removed

	- Breaking change: The old coarse rasterizer and render graph, including the public `coarse` and `render_graph` modules. The rewritten CPU and hybrid renderers no longer use them. ([#1762][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	### Fixed

	- Opaque image rendering when blend modes or masks are active. ([#1697][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Gaussian blur strength changing abruptly at decimation thresholds. ([#1720][] by [@grebmeg][])
	- Fast rectangle rendering at the maximum `u16` coordinates. ([#1666][] by [@dipeshbabu][])

	### Optimized

	- Clip-path intersection by skipping rows outside the paths' shared vertical extent and locating the first relevant strip with binary search. ([#1690][], [#1691][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Gradient lookup-table generation. ([#1726][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- x86 rendering, including blending and high-quality image sampling, through improved SIMD code generation. ([#1688][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Rendering opaque `peniko::ImageData` by computing and retaining its transparency hint during conversion. ([#1760][] by [@tronical][])
	- Filter processing for drop shadows by tightening their source and output bounds. ([#1768][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	## [0.0.9][] - 2026-05-30

	This release has an [MSRV][] of 1.88.

	### Fixed

	- Rendering of paths with high winding counts. ([#1673][] by [@b0nes164][])

	### Optimized

	- Tiling of line segments fully contained in the viewport. ([#1635][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	## [0.0.8][] - 2026-05-15

	This release has an [MSRV][] of 1.88.

	### Added

	- `TextureId`, a handle for user-provided textures resolved at render-time, and `EncodedExternalTexture` for encoding draws that sample from them. ([#1552][] by [@tomcur][])
	- `RectU16`, a shared axis-aligned rectangle type for `u16` coordinate bounding boxes. ([#1559][] by [@tomcur][])

	### Changed

	- `WideTilesBbox` now uses `RectU16` internally, its `bbox` field is private, and `WideTilesBbox::new` now takes four `u16` coordinates instead of a `[u16; 4]`. ([#1559][] by [@tomcur][])
	- Renamed image transparency hint APIs from `may_have_opacities` and `_opacity_hint` to `may_have_transparency` and `_transparency_hint`. ([#1613][] by [@upsuper][])
	- Gradient LUTs no longer reserve an extra transparent entry for undefined radial-gradient regions; `EncodedGradient` now tracks whether those regions are possible. ([#1529][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	### Removed

	- Public `glyph` and `colr` modules and the `text` feature; sparse-strips text rendering now lives in `glifo` and the renderer crates. ([#1562][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Support for recordings, including the shared recording API.
	This decision was made due to a number of downsides that came with the implementation.
	See the corresponding PR and Zulip thread for more information. ([#1611][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	### Fixed

	- Handling of zero-area rectangles in the rectangle fast path, avoiding out-of-viewport strips and downstream assertions. ([#1537][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Invalid gradients with NaN or out-of-range final stop offsets now fall back to the first color instead of passing validation. ([#1531][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Implicit subpaths that continue after `ClosePath` without an explicit `MoveTo`. ([#1544][] by [@tomcur][])
	- Negative-sized rectangles during strip generation. ([#1589][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	### Optimized

	- Rendering performance for paths with line segments fully or partly left of the viewport by culling invisible left-of-viewport line work while preserving winding contributions. ([#1368][] by [@b0nes164][])
	- Performance of clipped drawing by culling geometry outside the clip bounding box during flattening. ([#1519][] by [@tomcur][])
	- Flattening and tiling performance through codegen improvements in the sparse strip pipeline. ([#1600][], [#1616][], [#1634][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	## [0.0.7][] - 2026-03-24

	This release has an [MSRV][] of 1.92.

	### Added

	- Support for image tinting. ([#1460][] by [@grebmeg][])
	- `RenderState` abstraction. ([#1486][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Helpers for rendering filters. ([#1446][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- `ImageCache` and `MultiAtlasManager`. ([#1457][] by [@grebmeg][])

	### Changed

	- Replaced custom blend mode representation with peniko `Mix` for filter effects. ([#1410][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	### Removed

	- Process Row Incremental Macro and Perfect Bit. ([#1384][] by [@b0nes164][])
	- `tolerance` parameter from the flattening method. ([#1399][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Command annotation logic. ([#1438][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	### Fixed

	- Double-scaling of non-hinted COLR glyphs. ([#1370][] by [@conor-93][])
	- Handling of `pop_clip` commands and properly resetting wide tiles. ([#1443][] by [@LaurenzV][], [#1447][] by [@tomcur][])
	- Layer ranges not being updated when a wide tile is reset with a background color. ([#1478][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	### Optimized

	- Bézier flattening performance by catching more Béziers whose chords are immediately within rendering tolerance. ([#1216][] by [@tomcur][])
	- Flattening and tiling performance by culling out-of-viewport Béziers before flattening. ([#1341][] by [@tomcur][])
