Librsvg 2.40.13 is released



Dear lovers of arrowheads pointing in the right direction,

I've just released librsvg version 2.40.13.  Librsvg is a library to
render SVG files into raster images.

In this release we got a lot of help from Menner, a Wikimedian who has
been tracking down SVG images from Wikimedia Commons that don't render
correctly with librsvg.  I'm very happy to see bugs falling down one by
one.  Hopefully Wikimedia will be able to update their version of
librsvg (they use 2.40.2 - can you believe that?) and regenerate the
faulty images.

Librsvg 2.40.13 is available here:

What's new in this release?

- Chun-wei Fan and Paolo Borelli fixed the Windows build.

- Menner added basic support for the "baseline-shift" attribute in
  text objects.  We support "sub", "super", and plain "baseline", so
  you can at least have subscripts and superscripts for formulas and
  such.  There is no support for percentages or explicit lengths yet.
  bgo#340047.

- Menner fixed some duplicate logic when rendering paths, which would
  try to decide whether to create intermediate surfaces.  Now we have
  a single place where this is done.  This fixes inconsistent text
  spacing in some situations.  bgo#749415.

- Rewrote the markers engine, for bgo#685906 and bgo#760180 - Our
  machinery for rendering SVG markers (like arrowheads and such)
  didn't handle several cases correctly.  Curves with coincident
  control points produced incorrect orientations for the markers, as
  did multiple contiguous zero-length segments.  We follow the spec
  for this now and handle things correctly.  Also, markers didn't
  render in the correct position if they had the viewBox attribute
  set.

Enjoy the goodness,

  Federico
