0.6: Released 2004-11-??
* Support for PDF output! Mostly complete, we even have support
for including EPS files. Limitations include lack of support for
underlined text. Also, Type1 fonts are limited to the characters
in the MacRoman encoding.
* TrueType font support, using FreeType.
* FontConfig is used to find font files. The config variable
FontPaths is no longer used.
* Proper antialiasing of text and EPS images if Ghostscript
supports the pngalpha device.
* The ZoomLevel config var is no longer ignored. In fact, allow
the user to define their own zoom levels, with the first one as
the default.
* Ghostscript is now told where to find the fonts.
* Fix postscript landscape mode. (Magnus Henoch)
* Fonts are included by default (always for PDF).
* The commandline help output is a bit more readable.
* EPS images should be properly rerendered when their geometry
changes.
* CDATA Sections are no longer ignored.
0.5: Released 2004-05-10
* The document view has been rewritten to use Gnome::Canvas. This
eliminates the flickering (hurrah!) and makes the code a lot
simpler.
* Rotation now works for all objects in the user interface.
* Using auto apply in the Object Properties and Text Streams
windows.
* Much improved PDF support in xml2ps (works with Acrobat Reader).
(No PDF support in Passepartout yet though.)
* Explicit pagebreaks (<pagebreak>) added to the xml2ps DTD.
* Fixed file descriptor leak bug.
* The handling of raster images sizes has been improved. The file
format has changed slightly.
* The stream parameter list is now updated when setting the
stylesheet and disabled if the stylesheet lacks any parameters.
* The stream menu in the Object Properties dialog is now updated
when the streams change.
* Empty strings are no longer allowed as Text Stream names.
* Fixed 'Arrrgh' bug in the page selector widget.
0.4: Released 2004-01-15
* Requires stable libxml++ 1.0.
* Uses the SGI's File Alteration Monitor
(http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/) if available. This will (in
theory) reduce the the system load. Passepartout will revert to
polling (stat(2)) if FAM is not installed or the FAM daemon
isn't running.
* Passepartout and xml2ps now use a proper command line option
parser. Some xml2ps options have changed names,
see "xml2ps --help"
* The screen resolution is aquired from the X server.
0.3: Released 2003-11-19
* The name of the Passepartout executable is now "passepartout".
* The recommended filename suffix is now ".pp" instead of ".ppt".
* Support for multiple views of the same document.
* XSLT Parameter handling: Automatically get a set of valid
parameters from the XSLT stylesheet and let the user change them
in the streams dialog.
* If a text stream is truncated, i.e. it won't fit into the frames
assigned to it, then this will be indicated by a red marker at
the bottom of the last frame.
* Improved support for copy/paste.
* Added a dialog for selecting/creating streams when creating text
frames.
* A new preferences dialog (Sergej Gratchev).
* Make text images twice as big, then scale them down to normal
size, creating a poor man's antialiasing effect.
* A preview function in the import image dialog.
* Allow renaming of frames (finally).
* Printing is faster.
* Stylesheet files are also watched for changes.
* Support the DESTDIR feature in automake properly (Gaudenz Steinlin).
0.2: Released 2003-06-19
* Unicode support.
* Font inclusion support.
* "Text avoids object" works for rotated objects.
* Improved object resizing.
* Copy/paste. (Makes the logo seem less like false advertising :-)
* Better Gnome Human Interface Guidelines compliance.
* Explicit line breaks with the <linebreak/> element.
* A new design for the Streams window.
* Support for other length units than typographic points.
* Print images as grayscale option. Also works with most EPS images.
* Snap-to-grid (in this release, the grid size is 24 points and can't
be changed, sorry.)
* Support for the "Windows" EPS format. It has only been tested on EPS
files printed from Photoshop.
0.1: Released 2003-03-11
* Move to gtkmm-2.0
* Move to libxml++-0.18.0
* Require a standards-complient C++ compiler (such as gcc
3.2), since modern libxml++ wont compile in older environments.
* Semi-auto-generated dummy config dialog
* A brand new configuration file format.
If ~/.pptout does not exist, it will look for
/etc/pptout
NOTE: rename or remove your old ~/.pptout - it is incompatible
with the new format
* Better reshape handles
* Select more than one object with ctrl-button1
* Image file drag-and-drop support
* The properties dialog is updated when the selected object is
moved or resized
* Boundary margin support - text can be made to stay at a distance
from an object.
* Support EPS files with or without a showpage call
* Identify postscript files by magic numbers instead of filename
suffixes
* If the flag "-s" is given to xml2ps, then no font aliases will
be used in the output, i.e. URW font names instead of Adobe font
names
* Handle white areas in eps and text frames as if they were
transparent, for screen display (Optional, Seems to be flaky
in some environments).
* Rotation angles are -180 to 180 degrees.
* Added support for text in different gray tones.
* Support obstacles from the xml flow, mainly for allowing use of
automatic initials (those fancy big letters that were common in
medieval texts)
* Support for "guides", but the only way to turn them on is by
editing the xml files
* Using stock icons where applicable
* Options to specify screen resolution and default image resolution
0.0: Released 2002-11-21.
* Initial release
