librsvg-2.56.0

[Bruce Dubbs]

New minor version.

[Xi Ruoyao]

Version 2.56.0

• #942: Fix crash when XML files get recursively included through XInclude. Thanks to Stefan Schiller for catching this.

• When running the suite of reference tests, you can now use the TESTS_OUTPUT_DIR environment variable to specify where results for failures get written. See tests/README.md for details.

• The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is 1.64.

Version 2.55.92

• #925 - Update to cssparser 0.29.6; this adds support for hwb() color syntax, from the CSS Color Module Level 4 spec (​https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-4/#changes). Note that values inside hwb() are *not* comma-separated, just whitespace.

• #932 - Fix panic when a requested font-size is too big.

• #930 - Validate all clipPath and mask transforms.

• Add a performance tracking framework. This is part of an Outreachy internship (Neetu Mehta).

• Slight improvements in the size of generated code and memory consumption.

• The Rust crate is now called "rsvg", for consistency with other crates that don't usually have a "lib" prefix.

• The Rust API documentation is now available at ​https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/librsvg/doc/rsvg/index.html

Version 2.55.91

The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is 1.64, because of the gtk-rs update.

• #929 - Support "turn" unit for CSS <angle> values (Khadija Kamran).

• #743 - Support the feDropShadow element (John Ledbetter, Federico Mena).

• #928 - Fix panic when a feTile filter gets an empty source region.

• Update to gtk-rs 0.17.0 (Bilal Elmoussaoui).

• Simplify the NMake Makefiles for Windows; see win32/MSVC-Builds.md for details (Chun-wei Fan).

• Documentation and infrastructure updates (Andre Klapper, Violet Holland).

• Consolidate the scattered .md documents into the Development Guide. Updated links throughout. (​https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/librsvg/devel-docs/index.html)

• Internal refactoring of the test suite.

• Updated dependencies to avoid duplicated crates.

Version 2.55.90

The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is 1.63.

• #878 - rsvg-convert now supports Tab completion for bash, elvish, fish, powershell, and zsh. Please run "rsvg-convert --completion bash" to generate the completion file. You can use the other shells' names as an argument to the --completion option. (Marcos Simental)

• #885 - Support vector-effect="non-scaling-stroke" for paths (Michael Howell).

• #875 - Apply width, height when <use>ing an <svg> (Michael Howell).

• There is a new development guide for librsvg, for people who want to help in its development. I hope this will be especially useful to Outreachy and Summer of Code interns: ​https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/librsvg/devel-docs/index.html

• #92 - In the use element, honor the overflow:hidden property of a referenced symbol.

• #737 - Treat property and attribute parse errors / invalid values as if they were not present, per the specs. Previously this would cause the offending element's subtree to not be rendered.

• #913 - Make feGaussianBlur work as a pass-through filter if the stdDeviation is invalid.

• Define missing crate metadata for Cargo.toml (Guillaume Desmottes).

• Add some tests that were missing for the C API.

• Fix the basic test suite in Windows.

• Miscellaneous fixes for the build and CI (Jürg Billeter).

• Plenty of internal refactoring to enable more consistent logging.

• Slight reductions in memory consumption for elements with context-stroke and context-fill.

• Experimental gdk-pixbuf loader in Rust (Alberto Ruiz). This is not installed yet.

• Update the gtk-rs crates to 0.16.0 (Bilal Elmoussaoui).

• Port rsvg-convert's argument parsing to the clap4 crate (Lukáš Tyrychtr).

• Updates to the dependencies (Kalev Lember, Christoph Reiter, Jordan Petridis).

• The CI now has a cargo-deny step, which should help us notice when there are security advisories for dependencies (Neetu Mehta).

Version 2.55.2

• #942: Fix crash when XML files get recursively included through XInclude. Thanks to Stefan Schiller for catching this.

• The Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is now Rust 1.60. Several dependencies have bumped their MSRV on their own, unfortunately.

Version 2.55.1

As an experiment, I'll move librsvg from even-odd versioning (odd minor version is unstable, even minor version is stable), to the versioning scheme that GNOME uses these days. So, 2.55.x is the new stable series.

• There is a new development guide for librsvg, for people who want to help in its development. I hope this will be especially useful to Outreachy and Summer of Code interns: ​https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/librsvg/devel-docs/index.html

• Define missing crate metadata for Cargo.toml (Guillaume Desmottes).

• Add some tests that were missing for the C API.

• Fix the basic test suite in Windows.

• Miscellaneous fixes for the build and CI (Jürg Billeter).

Version 2.55.0-alpha

This is the first release in the new development series.

• The Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is now Rust 1.58.

• #855: The release tarball no longer contains vendored Rust dependencies. Most distributions now have infrastructure to pull these themselves, so let's make the tarball smaller.

• #880 - Accept patterns with userSpaceOnUse units for the stroke of axis-aligned lines.

• #706: Small reductions in memory consumption of the DOM tree (Michael Howell).

• Updates for the gtk-rs API (Bilal Elmoussaoui).

Well this is annoying. Fortunately it won't silently pull the newest version of the dependency so the result should be still stable (--locked is used for cargo). Should we make a tarball containing vendored dependencies and host it on anduin?

Looks like we'd need to update the currency script.

[Xi Ruoyao]

The GI documentation is installed into /usr/share/doc/Rsvg-2.0 if gi-docgen installed. We should move it into /usr/share/doc/librsvg-2.56.0 for consistency, like

[ -e /usr/share/doc/Rsvg-2.0 ] && mv /usr/share/doc/{,librsvg-2.56.0/}Rsvg-2.0

[Bruce Dubbs]

I changed the currency script to only look at odd minor versions of librsvg. Version 2.55.2 is now current.

[Douglas R. Reno]

I'm getting very confused here. 2.56 probably is the correct version, but the release notes are contradictory.

It shows "stable" here for 2.56, and mentions that 2.55 is out of support in the README.md file

See ​https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg/-/tags

Well, I mean 2.57 will also be a stable series.
