[Apologies for the previous misformatted announce email. Hopefully
this one will get through correctly].
A new major stable release 0.18.0 of the pixman library is now available.
New features:
-------------
- Support for creating regions from images [Alexander Larsson]
- Improved support for images larger than 16 bits [Benjamin Otte]
Performance improvements:
-------------------------
Performance was a major theme of this release. Optimizations include:
- Faster rescaling with nearest filter [Alexander Larsson, Siarhei
Siamashka, Søren Sandmann Pedersen]
- Faster rescaling with bilinear filter [André Tupinambá]
- Many new fast paths for ARM NEON [Siarhei Siamashka]
- Faster unantialised text rendering [Siarhei Siamashka]
- Reduced overhead in fast path lookup [Søren]
Results from a number of benchmarks in the cairo performance test
suite on x86 and ARM. A number such as 1.84x means that on that particular
benchmark pixman 0.18.0 runs 1.84 times faster than pixman 0.16.6.
