              have been replaced with unified `render` and `render_with` methods, whose settings

            
              control the target, pixel format, compositing, and rendering mode.

            
              ([#1665][] by [@LaurenzV][])

            
            - The Vello CPU frontend and coarse rasterizer have been rewritten. As a result:

            
                - Filter layers always render correctly, even at viewport boundaries.

            
                - A number of issues with layer clipping have been fixed.

            
                - Performance improves by up to 10% across a variety of rendering workloads. ([#1701][] 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][])

            
            - Panics when resetting or dropping a multi-threaded render context while worker tasks are still in flight. ([#1732][], [#1756][] by [@yezhizhen][])


            ### Optimized


            - x86 rendering, including blending and high-quality image sampling, through improved SIMD code generation. ([#1688][] by [@LaurenzV][])

            
            - 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][])

            
            - Radial-gradient evaluation and gradient lookup-table generation. ([#1723][], [#1726][] by [@LaurenzV][])

            
            - Rendering opaque `peniko::ImageData` by computing and retaining its transparency hint during conversion. ([#1760][] by [@tronical][])


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


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


            ### Fixed


            - Rendering of glyphs with complex paints. ([#1668][] by [@LaurenzV][])

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


            ### Optimized


            - Optimized rendering of a number of blend modes. ([#1653][] by [@LaurenzV][])


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


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


            ### Added


            - `render_decoration` on glyph run builders for rendering text decorations with skip-ink behavior. ([#1592][] by [@taj-p][])

            
            - Support for rendering VARC glyphs in text paths. ([#1594][] by [@nicoburns][], [@oscargus][])

            
            - Support for synthetic font emboldening in text glyph runs via `GlyphRunBuilder::font_embolden` and `glifo::FontEmbolden`. ([#1628][] by [@jrmoulton][])


            ### Changed


            - Migrated text rendering to `glifo`; rendering, glyph, and image APIs now use an explicit `Resources` object for persistent image and glyph caches. `RenderContext::render_to_buffer`, `RenderContext::render_to_pixmap`, `RenderContext::composite_to_pixmap_at_offset`, and `RenderContext::glyph_run` now take resources, and image registration moved from `RenderContext` to `Resources`. ([#1562][] by [@LaurenzV][])

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


            ### Removed


            - Experimental `vello_api` integration and `api` module. ([#1602][] by [@waywardmonkeys][])

            
            - Support for recordings.

            
              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


            - Rendering of rare degenerate radial gradients with undefined regions, which should render those regions transparent. ([#1529][] by [@LaurenzV][])

            
            - Incorrect rendering of filter layers containing nested clip layers. ([#1541][] by [@LaurenzV][])

            
            - x86 artifacts in bicubic image rendering caused by negative interpolated color values wrapping during SIMD `f32` to `u8` conversion. ([#1563][] by [@LaurenzV][])

            
            - Stroked glyph rendering when scaled glyph runs absorb the transform into the font size, preserving the expected stroke width. ([#1576][] by [@LaurenzV][])

            
            - COLR glyph rendering, including glyphs using non-default blend modes. ([#1584][] by [@LaurenzV][])

            
            - Rendering of inverted rectangles, including blurred rounded rectangles. ([#1589][] by [@LaurenzV][])


            ### Optimized


            - CPU fine rasterization performance through improved SIMD codegen. ([#1616][] by [@LaurenzV][])


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


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


            ### Added


            - `composite_to_pixmap_at_offset` method to `RenderContext` for compositing at specific offsets within a larger pixmap. ([#1416][] by [@grebmeg][])

            
            - `ImageResolver` for resolving opaque image IDs at rasterization time. ([#1451][] by [@grebmeg][])

            
            - Support for image tinting. ([#1460][] by [@grebmeg][])


            ### Fixed


            - Rendering of blurred rounded rectangles with zero or very small blur standard deviations. ([#1422][] by [@tomcur][])

            
            - Off-by-one error in gaussian blur decimation filter. ([#1488][] by [@LaurenzV][])

            
            - Filter layers with zero clips. ([#1437][] by [@LaurenzV][])


            ### Optimized


            - Bilinear image sampling in the `RenderMode::OptimizeQuality` (`f32`) pipeline. ([#1343][] by [@tomcur][])

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


            ### Added


            - Support for the "offset" filter. ([#1351] by [@waywardmonkeys])


            ### Changed


            - Breaking change: Updated Peniko to [v0.6.0](https://github.com/linebender/peniko/releases/tag/v0.6.0). ([#1349][] by [@DJMcNab][])

            
              - This also updates Kurbo to [v0.13.0](https://github.com/linebender/kurbo/releases/tag/v0.13.0).

            
            - Upgraded Skrifa to v0.40.0. ([#1353][] by [@waywardmonkeys][])

            
            - Upgraded Hashbrown to v0.16.1. ([#1354][] by [@waywardmonkeys][])

            ## [0.0.5][] - 2026-01-08


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


            ### Added


            - The `RenderContext` now has a `set_blend_mode` (and a corresponding `blend_mode`  getter method) that can be used to support non-isolated blending. ([#1159][] by [@LaurenzV])

            
            - The `RenderContext` now contains a `push_clip_path` and `pop_clip_path` method for performing non-isolated clipping. ([#1203][] by [@LaurenzV])

            
            - Experimental support for image filter effects: ([#1286][] by [@grebmeg][])

            
              - New filter API methods on `RenderContext`:

            
                - `set_filter_effect()` - Set a filter to be applied to subsequent drawing operations.

            
                - `push_filter_layer()` - Create a new layer with a filter effect.

            
              - `FilterEffect` trait providing both u8 and f32 precision variants for rendering across different backends.

            
              - Gaussian Blur filter with configurable standard deviation and edge modes (`None`, `Mirror`, `Wrap`, `Duplicate`).

            
                Uses an optimized decimated blur algorithm with automatic downsampling for performance.

            
              - Drop Shadow filter with customizable offset, blur radius, and shadow color.

            
              - Flood filter for solid color fills.

            
            - A `set_mask` method to make it possible to mask rendered paths without inducing layer isolation. ([#1237][] by [@LaurenzV])

            
            - Support for conditionally disabling the u8 or f32 pipeline. ([#1294][] by [@nicoburns])


            ### Changed


            - Improved performance of rendering opaque images. ([#1327][] by [@grebmeg])


            ### Known Limitations


            - Filter effects currently support only single-primitive filters; filter graphs with multiple chained primitives are not yet supported.

            
            - Multithreaded rendering is not supported for filter effects; filters are only applied in single-threaded mode.

	- Breaking change: `GlyphRunBuilder::fill_glyphs` and `stroke_glyphs` now return `Result<(), glifo::GlyphRenderError>`. ([#1944][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Breaking change: Updated `fearless_simd` to v0.7.0. ([#1853][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Breaking change: Reorganized shared type re-exports and removed the crate-root `Paint` re-export. ([#1881][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Root-level blend operations are now isolated from the target background. ([#1865][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Bitmap glyphs now consistently use bilinear sampling (`ImageQuality::Medium`) instead of switching to bicubic sampling when downscaled. ([#1970][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	### Fixed

	- Image-sampling errors near texel boundaries with `Repeat`, `Reflect`, and bilinear/bicubic filtering. ([#1946][], [#1950][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Scene contents being cut off when compositing over a background in the u8 pipeline. ([#1933][] by [@LaurenzV][])

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

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

	### Fixed

	- Wrong application of extend mode in the y-direction. ([#1803][] by [@LaurenzV][], [@ShiroKSH][])

	### Optimized

	- Multi-threaded render contexts now initialize task dispatch lazily on the first drawing operation, avoiding unnecessary setup for empty frames and after resets. ([#1787][] by [@LaurenzV][], [@yezhizhen][])

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

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

	### Added

	- `RenderContext::reset_and_resize`, allowing a render context to be reused after its target size changes. ([#1705][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- `RenderContext::is_multi_threaded` for querying whether the context uses multi-threaded rendering. ([#1703][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Inverse blurred rounded rectangles through the new `invert` parameter on `RenderContext::fill_blurred_rounded_rect`, enabling inset box shadows. ([#1715][] by [@nicoburns][])
	- `FilterPrimitive::DropShadowOnly` for rendering a drop shadow without compositing the original input over it. ([#1763][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	### Changed

	- Breaking change: The methods `render_to_pixmap` and `composite_to_pixmap_at_offset`
	have been replaced with unified `render` and `render_with` methods, whose settings
	control the target, pixel format, compositing, and rendering mode.
	([#1665][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- The Vello CPU frontend and coarse rasterizer have been rewritten. As a result:
	- Filter layers always render correctly, even at viewport boundaries.
	- A number of issues with layer clipping have been fixed.
	- Performance improves by up to 10% across a variety of rendering workloads. ([#1701][] 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][])
	- Panics when resetting or dropping a multi-threaded render context while worker tasks are still in flight. ([#1732][], [#1756][] by [@yezhizhen][])

	### Optimized

	- x86 rendering, including blending and high-quality image sampling, through improved SIMD code generation. ([#1688][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- 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][])
	- Radial-gradient evaluation and gradient lookup-table generation. ([#1723][], [#1726][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Rendering opaque `peniko::ImageData` by computing and retaining its transparency hint during conversion. ([#1760][] by [@tronical][])

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

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

	### Fixed

	- Rendering of glyphs with complex paints. ([#1668][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Rendering of paths with high winding counts. ([#1673][] by [@b0nes164][])

	### Optimized

	- Optimized rendering of a number of blend modes. ([#1653][] by [@LaurenzV][])

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

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

	### Added

	- `render_decoration` on glyph run builders for rendering text decorations with skip-ink behavior. ([#1592][] by [@taj-p][])
	- Support for rendering VARC glyphs in text paths. ([#1594][] by [@nicoburns][], [@oscargus][])
	- Support for synthetic font emboldening in text glyph runs via `GlyphRunBuilder::font_embolden` and `glifo::FontEmbolden`. ([#1628][] by [@jrmoulton][])

	### Changed

	- Migrated text rendering to `glifo`; rendering, glyph, and image APIs now use an explicit `Resources` object for persistent image and glyph caches. `RenderContext::render_to_buffer`, `RenderContext::render_to_pixmap`, `RenderContext::composite_to_pixmap_at_offset`, and `RenderContext::glyph_run` now take resources, and image registration moved from `RenderContext` to `Resources`. ([#1562][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Renamed image transparency hint APIs from `may_have_opacities` and `_opacity_hint` to `may_have_transparency` and `_transparency_hint`. ([#1613][] by [@upsuper][])

	### Removed

	- Experimental `vello_api` integration and `api` module. ([#1602][] by [@waywardmonkeys][])
	- Support for recordings.
	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

	- Rendering of rare degenerate radial gradients with undefined regions, which should render those regions transparent. ([#1529][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Incorrect rendering of filter layers containing nested clip layers. ([#1541][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- x86 artifacts in bicubic image rendering caused by negative interpolated color values wrapping during SIMD `f32` to `u8` conversion. ([#1563][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Stroked glyph rendering when scaled glyph runs absorb the transform into the font size, preserving the expected stroke width. ([#1576][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- COLR glyph rendering, including glyphs using non-default blend modes. ([#1584][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Rendering of inverted rectangles, including blurred rounded rectangles. ([#1589][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	### Optimized

	- CPU fine rasterization performance through improved SIMD codegen. ([#1616][] by [@LaurenzV][])

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

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

	### Added

	- `composite_to_pixmap_at_offset` method to `RenderContext` for compositing at specific offsets within a larger pixmap. ([#1416][] by [@grebmeg][])
	- `ImageResolver` for resolving opaque image IDs at rasterization time. ([#1451][] by [@grebmeg][])
	- Support for image tinting. ([#1460][] by [@grebmeg][])

	### Fixed

	- Rendering of blurred rounded rectangles with zero or very small blur standard deviations. ([#1422][] by [@tomcur][])
	- Off-by-one error in gaussian blur decimation filter. ([#1488][] by [@LaurenzV][])
	- Filter layers with zero clips. ([#1437][] by [@LaurenzV][])

	### Optimized

	- Bilinear image sampling in the `RenderMode::OptimizeQuality` (`f32`) pipeline. ([#1343][] by [@tomcur][])

	## [0.0.6][] - 2026-01-15

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

	### Added

	- Support for the "offset" filter. ([#1351] by [@waywardmonkeys])

	### Changed

	- Breaking change: Updated Peniko to [v0.6.0](https://github.com/linebender/peniko/releases/tag/v0.6.0). ([#1349][] by [@DJMcNab][])
	- This also updates Kurbo to [v0.13.0](https://github.com/linebender/kurbo/releases/tag/v0.13.0).
	- Upgraded Skrifa to v0.40.0. ([#1353][] by [@waywardmonkeys][])
	- Upgraded Hashbrown to v0.16.1. ([#1354][] by [@waywardmonkeys][])

	See also the [vello_hybrid 0.0.6](../vello_gpu/CHANGELOG.md#006---2026-01-15) and [vello_common 0.0.6](../vello_common/CHANGELOG.md#006---2026-01-15) releases.

	## [0.0.5][] - 2026-01-08

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

	### Added

	- The `RenderContext` now has a `set_blend_mode` (and a corresponding `blend_mode` getter method) that can be used to support non-isolated blending. ([#1159][] by [@LaurenzV])
	- The `RenderContext` now contains a `push_clip_path` and `pop_clip_path` method for performing non-isolated clipping. ([#1203][] by [@LaurenzV])
	- Experimental support for image filter effects: ([#1286][] by [@grebmeg][])
	- New filter API methods on `RenderContext`:
	- `set_filter_effect()` - Set a filter to be applied to subsequent drawing operations.
	- `push_filter_layer()` - Create a new layer with a filter effect.
	- `FilterEffect` trait providing both u8 and f32 precision variants for rendering across different backends.
	- Gaussian Blur filter with configurable standard deviation and edge modes (`None`, `Mirror`, `Wrap`, `Duplicate`).
	Uses an optimized decimated blur algorithm with automatic downsampling for performance.
	- Drop Shadow filter with customizable offset, blur radius, and shadow color.
	- Flood filter for solid color fills.
	- A `set_mask` method to make it possible to mask rendered paths without inducing layer isolation. ([#1237][] by [@LaurenzV])
	- Support for conditionally disabling the u8 or f32 pipeline. ([#1294][] by [@nicoburns])

	### Changed

	- Improved performance of rendering opaque images. ([#1327][] by [@grebmeg])

	### Known Limitations

	- Filter effects currently support only single-primitive filters; filter graphs with multiple chained primitives are not yet supported.
	- Multithreaded rendering is not supported for filter effects; filters are only applied in single-threaded mode.
