NEWS
====
Cygwin: Use GLib 2.4.5, latest gettext, libiconv & binutils releases.
General: This is a stable release providing new functionality as
compared to Pango-1.4, while maintaining source and binary
compatibility. Notable improvements in Pango since version
1.4 include:
* Ellipsization in PangoLayout; that is, for truncating
lines by replacing text at the start middle or end of the line
with an ellipsis (...)
* Custom font decoders; applications can specify how characters
are converted to glyphs for particular fonts
* Support for setting a transformation matrix on a PangoContext
and transformed rendering support for the FT2 backend
* Support for OpenType fonts in the Hebrew and Thai shapers
DESCRIPTION
===========
Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on
internationalization. It forms the core of text and font handling for
GTK+-2.0. Canonical website: http://www.gtk.org/ & http://www.pango.org/
