9 * Switch from Yasm to NASM for building hand-written assembler code
10 * Support Core Text font provider on Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7
11 * Clear font cache in ass_set_fonts(). This fixes potentially incorrect
12 font choices and an occasional crash if this function is called midway
13 through rendering a file.
16 * Fix invalid memory accesses with BorderStyle=4
17 * Fix change detection bug on frame resizes
18 * Fix cache bugs with border size

27 * Fix TrueType/OpenType font collection handling with the DirectWrite backend
30 * Bump ABI version to account for the new Justify field in ASS_Style
31 that was added in 0.13.5.
34 * Add Justify style override that changes text justification
35 (left/right/center) without affecting event positioning.
36 * Fix ass_set_cache_limits() to affect total bitmap cache size
37 including composite bitmap cache.
38 * Number parsing fixes
39 * Fix illegal read when parsing some numbers in scientific notation

45 * Fix illegal read in the parser on specially crafted input with \t tags.
48 * Bug fixes found with fuzzing
49 * Fix memory reallocation in the shaper. (CVE-2016-7972)
50 * Fix two small memory leaks in the parser and test program.
51 * Fix illegal read in Gaussian blur coefficient calculations.
53 * Fix mode 0/3 line wrapping equalization in specific cases which could
54 result in illegal reads while laying out and shaping text.
58 * Improve compatibility/portablility of build system,
59 should fix e.g. compilation on Solaris.
60 * Fix memory leak in DirectWrite font provider.
61 * Fix the rasterizer when rendering some large outlines.
62 * Remove hack that forced RTL base direction depending on font encoding.
63 * Greatly improve the internal caches with refcounting and gradual clearing.
66 * Add ass_set_check_readorder() API function to disable use of the ReadOrder
67 field for duplicate checking in ass_process_chunk().
68 * ass_step_sub(track, now, 0) now finds the start of the subtitle at "now".
70 * Fix an issue with the new duplicate checking, which could lead to
71 missing subtitles after seeking.
72 * Fix a crash with CoreText under specific circumstances
75 * Much faster duplicate event check in ass_process_chunk. This can
76 bring a large speedup for embedded subtitles with lots of events.
77 To make this possible, it is now forbidden to combine calls to
78 ass_process_chunk with any other method of manipulating the event
79 list, namely, manual manipulation and calls to ass_process_data,
80 ass_read_memory and ass_read_file.
81 * Interpret negative timestamp components as actual negative numbers.
82 This change increases compatibility with VSFilter.
83 * Font matching changes for VSFilter compatibility
84 * Look up fonts that contain PostScript outlines by their PostScript
85 name instead of their full names. Family names continue to be used
87 * Keep spaces in font names
88 * Drop support for Fontconfig < 2.10.92 to ensure correct font matching
90 * Fix building the assembler code for the x32 ABI (GH #200)
91 * Fix static linking against libass through pkg-config when libass
93 * Fix some small memory leaks, potential crashes and bad data uses
96 * Add native font selection backends for OSX (CoreText) and Windows
97 (DirectWrite). You can now run libass without fontconfig on these
98 platforms. This fixes problems with fontconfig behaving badly on
99 these platforms (it could take minutes to scan all system fonts).
100 Even on Linux, this speeds up loading of embedded fonts (such as
101 provided by ass_add_font()).
102 The DirectWrite backend only works on Windows Vista and later. On
103 XP, fontconfig is still needed. libass can be compiled with both
104 DirectWrite and fontconfig, and then it will fallback to fontconfig
105 automatically if DirectWrite is not available at runtime.
106 * Add ass_get_available_font_providers() API function.
107 * Change the 4th parameter of ass_set_fonts(). This now selects the
108 font provider. This is somewhat backwards compatible with the old
109 behavior, but if you ever passed values other than 0 or 1, your
110 application might break with this libass release.
111 * The ass_fonts_update() function now does nothing. It's kept for
112 backward compatibility only.
113 * Much faster gaussian blur. This can bring a large speedup with big
114 blurred signs and such.
117 * Fix compilation of the freetype rasterizer (disabled by default)
118 * Fix rendering with some cases of consecutive line breaks (\N\N).
119 * Fix some memory allocation failure checks

132 * Do not apply user-configured line position to non-dialog events
133 * Strictly clip non-dialog events to the video rectangle
136 * Add extern "C" guards to the public headers for C++ compatibility
137 * Improvements to style override API and implementation
139 * Fix some rasterizer bugs of unknown severity
140 * Fix a broken memset() of unknown severity
141 * Make timestamp parsing more lenient, which makes libass accept invalid
142 files accepted by most other ASS parsers
143 * Increase compatibility with broken ASS drawings accepted by VSFilter
146 * Make ASS drawings with an extremely high number of control points work
147 This change increases compatibility with VSFilter.
149 * Fix a crash when using newer harfbuzz versions (GH #155)
150 * Load embedded memory fonts correctly
151 * Large shadow offsets rendered incorrectly (GH #142)

175 * Fix change detection with vector clips
176 * SIMD assembly bugfixes
177 * Parse drawing numbers as floats (GH #63)

179 * Initialize \pbo correctly (GH #74)
182 * Fix distfile generation
183 * No functional changes
186 * Add bitmap run combining/compositing
187 This changes the text rendering model and increases compatibility with
188 VSFilter. It may make rendering faster or slower in certain cases.
189 * Add AVX/SSE2 implementations for \be and compositing
190 This adds yasm as (optional) build dependency.
191 * Add ass_library_version() API funcion (GC #113)
