Package: pixman Version: pixman 0.18.0 Severity: normal
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. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-4-openvz-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
