- Update to 0.17.3:
* Fix 0.17.2 regression in the fontconfig fontprovider leading to
undesirable widths being chosen from large typographic families
* Fix configure generated with slibtool-provided autoconf macros
* Fix make check for shared-only builds
* Constify some API parameters in a backwards-compatible manner
* Add new ass_malloc and ass_free API functions
* Tweak default optimization flags
* Speed up parsing of events with very long override blocks
* Improve handling of HarfBuzz-related failures
- reintroduce 'make check' as the issue has been fixed upstream
- Update to 0.17.2:
* This release brings optimized assembly routines for aarch64,
as well as numerous individual improvements and fixes.
* Detailed Changes:
- Fix rendering of \h in certain cases
- Fix a minor memory leak in the CoreText and DirectWrite font provider
- Fix wrong ASS_Image dimensions for huge BorderStyle=4 backgrounds
potentially leading to out of bound reads by API users
- Improve quality of animated rectangular clips
- Improve accuracy of cache limits
- Full-Unicode cmaps are now always preferred
- Improve font selection compatibility in the DirectWrite font provider
- Improved documentation
- Updating selective overrides now forces a cache clear to avoid issues
with outdated caches
- Frame and storage resolutions are now limited to what a single ASS_Image
can represent
- make check now runs checkasm if assembly is enabled
- CoreText can now be used on Mac OS X 10.5
- Meson/muon is now offered as a secondary build system bringing back
first-party MSVC support
- Note however it is not at feature parity with autotools in all cases
- aarch64: add optimized assembly routines covering the same set as on x86;
they work on both little and big endian systems
- x86: add SSSE3 versions of some assembly routines to help CPUs without
AVX2
- x86: it is now possible to build binaries with optimized assembly an
SHSTK support
- Improve VSFilter compatibility
- 'make check' is broken for --disable-static builds because checkasm needs to
access symbols that aren't part of the public API, so just disable it.
- Require libunibreak during build for better linebreaking of
unicode text.
