| |
| Keith Packard: |
| Make path names in cache files absolute (NB, cache format change) Stop |
| Eliminate pattern freezing |
| Add .gitignore |
| Construct short architecture name from architecture signature. |
| Write caches to first directory with permission. Valid cache in FcDirCacheOpen. |
| Eliminate NormalizeDir. Eliminate gratuitous stat/access calls per dir. |
| Add architecture to cache filename. |
| Eliminate global cache. Eliminate multi-arch cache code. |
| Fix up fc-cache and fc-cat for no global cache changes. |
| Eliminate ./ and ../ elements from font directory names when scanning. |
| Regenerate x86 line in fcarch.tmpl.h to match change in cache data. |
| Add x86-64 architecture and signature. |
| During test run, remove cache directory to avoid stale cache usage. |
| Add ppc architecture |
| Revert to original FcFontSetMatch algorithm to avoid losing fonts. |
| Rework cache files to use offsets for all data structures. |
| Fix build problems caused by cache rework. |
| FcCharSetSerialize was using wrong offset for leaves. Make fc-cat work. |
| Rework Object name database to unify typechecking and object lookup. |
| Skip broken caches. Cache files are auto-written, don't rewrite in fc-cache. |
| Fix fc-cat again. Sigh. |
| Use intptr_t instead of off_t inside FcCache structure. |
| Serialized value lists were only including one value. |
| Automatically remove invalid cache files. |
| With no args, fc-cat now dumps all directories. |
| Revert ABI changes from version 2.3 |
| Change $(pkgcachedir) to $(fc_cachedir) in fc-cat and fc-cache Makefile.am |
| Allow FcTypeLangSet to match either FcTypeLangSet or FcTypeString. |
| Remove stale architecture signatures. |
| Pass directory information around in FcCache structure. Freeze charsets. |
| Fix fc-lang to use new charset freezer API. |
| Fontset pattern references are relative to fontset, not array. |
| Add some ignores |
| Only rebuild caches for system fonts at make install time. |
| Fix memory leaks in fc-cache directory cleaning code. |
| Add @EXPAT_LIBS@ to Libs.private in fontconfig.pc (bug 7683) |
| Avoid #warning directives on non-GCC compilers. (bug 7683) |
| Chinese/Macau needs the Hong Kong orthography instead of Taiwan (bug 7884) |
| Add Assamese orthography (as.orth). Bug #8050 |
| Really only rebuild caches for system fonts at make install time. |
| Fonts matching lang not territory should satisfy sort pattern lang. |
| Prefer Bitstream Vera to DejaVu families. |
| Guess that mac roman names with lots of high bits are actually SJIS. |
| Document FC_DEBUG values (bug 6393). Document name \ escape syntax. |
| Move Free family names to bottom of respective aliases. (bug 7429) |
| Unify directory canonicalization into FcStrAddFilename. |
| Allow font caches to contain newer version numbers |
| Add FcMatchScan to resolve Delicious font matching issues (bug #6769) |
| Fix missing initialization/destruction of new 'scan' target subst list. |
| Don't segfault when string values can't be parsed as charsets or langsets. |
| Using uninitialized (and wrong) variable in FcStrCopyFilename. |
| Oops; missed the 60-delicious.conf file. |

| 2.3.95 |
| |
| Match 'Standard Symbols L' for 'Symbol'. Add URW fonts as aliases for |
| all of the PostScript fonts. (reported by Miguel Rodriguez). Fix a |
| number of Coverity defects (Frederic Crozat). Speed up FcFontSort |
| (fix suggested by Kenichi Handa). Fix error with charsets. Survive |
| missing docbook2pdf. Compile on HP-UX, AIX, SGI and Windows (Cygwin, |
| MinGW). Fix intel compiler warnings. Fix multiarch support (don't |
| destroy multiarch files!) Require pkg-config. (Thanks Behdad; better |
| solution wanted for libxml2 detection!) Fix typos in orth files and |
| add orth for Lingala (reported by Denis Jacquerye). Remove debian/ |
| directory. Add a configuration file that disables hinting for the |
| Lohit Gujarati font (since the hinting distorts some glyphs quite |
| badly). Sort directory entries while scanning them from disk; |
| prevents Heisenbugs due to file ordering in a directory (due to Egmont |
| Koblinger). Fix Wine's problem with finding fonts. (Reported by |
| Bernhard Rosenkraenzer.) Fix the issues with GNU libiconv vs. libc |
| iconv (which especially appear on Solarii); patch by Behdad Esfahbod, |
| approach suggested by Tim Mooney. |
| |
| 2.3.94 |
| |
| fc-cat can take directories as input and creates old-style fonts.cache |
| listings. |
| fc-cache takes -r --really-force which blows away all old caches and |
| regenerates. |
| Robustness fixes, integer overflow fixes (notably to cache handling |
| code), toast broken global cache files. |
| Change binary format to make it compatible with static langset |
| information (thanks to Takashi Iwai). |
| Open hashed caches before fonts.cache-2 (Takashi Iwai). |
| Fix FcFontSetMatch's algorithm, which used to unjustly kill fonts for |
| not declaring certain elements (Takashi Iwai). |
| Fix matching bug when multiple elements match; don't use |
| the sum of all scores, but the best score (James Su). |
| Make fc-lang more friendly to Windows systems. |
| Remove archaic chars from Georgian charset; add Euro character to |
| charsets for European languages. |
| Fix treatment of broken PCF fonts that don't declare family names. |
| Pass O_BINARY to open if appropriate (reported by Doodle). |
| Normalize font directories to the form in which they appear in |
| config files. |
| Add a record of the cached directory to the cache file. |
| Perf optimizations (Dirk Mueller; some reported by Michael Meeks.) |
| Don't loop infinitely on recursive symlinks. |
| Make 'make distcheck' work with automake 1.6.3. |
| Replace 'stamp' target with mkinstalldirs. |
| Don't stop scanning if a directory in fonts.conf doesn't exist, |
| because subsequent directories might exist. |
| Put directory names into global cache (reported by Ronny V. Vindenes). |
| Treat zh-hk fonts differently from zh-tw fonts. This patch may cause |
| fontconfig to treat A-X fonts differently from A-Y fonts; please mail |
| the fontconfig list if this causes any problems. |
| Fix for unaligned memory accesses (Andreas Schwab). |
| Fix treatment of cache directory as read from cache file; don't use |
| string equality to determine if we have the right file, use inode |
| equality. |
| Properly skip past dir caches that contain zero fonts, as occurs |
| in global caches (reported by Mike Fabian). |
| Print out full pathname in fc-match -v (reported by Frederic Crozat). |
| Fix bug where fc-match crashes when given __DUMMY__ property to |
| match on. |
| |
| 2.3.93 |
| |
| Create cache files in /var/cache/fontconfig with hashed filenames, if |
| possible, for added FHS compliance. |
| Make fc-cat read both per-directory and global cache files. |
| Add config file for Persian fonts from Sharif FarsiWeb, Inc. |
| Major performance improvements by Dirk Mueller, Stephen Kulow, and Michael Matz at SuSE: in particular, speed up FcFontSetMatch, and inline many functions. |
| Fix treatment of globs in config files, broken since 2.3.2 and discovered by Mathias Clasen. |
| Don't use freetype internal headers (patch by Matthias Clasen). |
| Further space improvements: create langsets statically, so that they can live in .rodata. |
| Properly align mmapped data structures to make e.g. ia64 happy. |
| Bug fixes. |
| |
| 2.3.92 |
| |
| Fix corrupted caches bugs from 2.3.91 (reported by Mike Fabian). |
| Store only basename in the cache, reconstitute on demand |
| (reported by James Cloos). |
| Change the rule for artificial emboldening in fonts.conf.in. This |
| enables the support for artificial emboldening included in cairo |
| (patch by Zhe Su). |
| Add FC_EMBEDDED_BITMAP object type to tell Xft/Cairo whether |
| to load embedded bitmaps or not (patch by Jinghua Luo). |
| Fix GCC4 warnings (some by Behdad Esfahbod). |
| Support localized font family and style names; this has been reported |
| to break old apps like xfd, but modern (gtk+/qt/mozilla) apps work |
| fine (patch by Zhe Su). |
| Prevent fc-list from escaping strings when printing them (reported by |
| Matthias Clasen). |
| Add valist sentinel markup for FcObjectSetBuild and |
| FcPatternBuild (patch by Marcus Meissner). |
| Add consts to variables so as to move arrays into .rodata (patch by |
| Ross Burton). |
| Modify config file to use Greek fonts before Asian fonts with |
| Greek glyphs. (patch by Simos Xenitellis). |
| Use libtool -no-undefined flag on all platforms (patch by Christian |
| Biesinger). |
| |
| 2.3.91 |
| |
| Use libxml2 if requested or if expat not available. (Mathias Hasselmann) |
| Fix multi-arch cache files: compute the position for the |
| block to be added using info from OrigFile, not NewFile. (plam) |
| Cast results of sizeof() to unsigned int to get rid of |
| warnings on x86_64 (reported by Matthias Clasen). |
| Use FcAtomic to rewrite cache files; don't unlink the fonts.cache-2 |
| file even if there's no data to write; just write an empty cache file. |
| (Reported by Lubos Lunak) |
| Allocate room for the subdirectory names in each directory cache. |
| (Reported by James Cloos) |

| ordered. |
| |
| Added Punjai orthography. |
| |
| The timestamp in fonts.conf is gone now. Too many problems. |
| |
| The default font path includes all of the X fonts; use selectfont/rejectfont |
| to eliminate bitmaps, as shown in the sample local.conf file. |
| |
| <include> configuration elements may now reference a directory. Files |
| in that directory matching [0-9]* are loaded in UTF-8 collating sequence order. |
| |
| <selectfont> configuration added to control which fonts are used. |
| |
| fontformat font pattern elements built from the FT_Get_X11_Font_Format |
| function in newer versions of FreeType. |

| |
| 2.2.95 |
| |
| Add FcResultOutOfMemory so FcFontSetMatch can return accurate error. |
| |
| Replace MIN/MAX/ABS macros which happened to be in old FreeType releases |
| with FC_MIN/FC_MAX/FC_ABS macros owned by fontconfig. |
| |
| 2.2.94 |
| |
| The 2.2.93 release was prepared with a broken libtool which created |
| the shared library without the '.so' in the file names. |
| |
| 2.2.93 |
| |
| This is the third prerelease of fontconfig 2.3. Significant changes from |
| 2.2.92 are: |
| |
| o Use new FreeType #include syntax |
| o use y_ppem field instead of 'height' in bitmap sizes rec - |
| FreeType changed the semantics. Still uses height for |
| older versions of FreeType |
| o Don't construct program manuals unless docbook is available |
| |
| 2.2.92 |
| |
| o make distcheck work |
| |
| 2.2.91 |
| |
| o Switch to SGML manuals |
| o Add FC_DUAL width spacing value |
| o Add FcFini to close out fontconfig and release all memory |
| |
| 2.2 |
| |
| This is the third public release of fontconfig, a font configuration and |
| customization library. Fontconfig is designed to locate fonts within the |
| system and select them according to requirements specified by applications. |
| |
| Fontconfig is not a rasterization library, nor does it impose a particular |
| rasterization library on the application. The X-specific library |
| 'Xft' uses fontconfig along with freetype to specify and rasterize fonts. |
