* Support for colour separated PDF output and other optimisations and
features for high-quality printing, including enforcement of colour
models for CMYK, RGB, and "spot colours"
* Long table optimisations are now turned on by default. Previously,
documents with very long tables spanning many pages could take a long
time to create because we considered the whole table to work out row
and column sizes. A patch was submitted some time ago to fix this
controlled by a flag in the rl_config file, but this was set 'off'
for compatibility. Users are often not aware of this and we haven't
found any real-world cases where the new layout technique works badly,
so we are turning this behaviour on.
* New support for QR barcodes.
on some platforms that lacked shared library support in the past. The
list hasn't been maintained at all and the gain is very limited, so just
get rid of it.
Major changes include full Unicode supoprt, better support for Asian
languages, support for JPEG CMYK images, links in Platypus, better
wrapping, barcode support, better support for legends of graphics and
many more.
Addtional changes in pkgsrc include the merge of py-reportlab-renderPM
package and use of external libart.
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
changes:
-can run out of a Python 2.3 zip archive
-some fixes and feature additions
[pkgsrc] this distfile doesn't trigger the pax-as-tar bug, so remove
the build dependency on GNU tar
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.

on other Python extensions to propagate the Python version properly,
it is necessary to include "python/extension.mk" before the extensions'
"buildlink2.mk" files.
Main changes since ReportLab 1.16:
- Pythonpoint improvements contributed by Turgut Uyar & Tim Roberts.
- Para.py fix from doug@pennatus.com.
- Pdfgen image fixes.
- Spiderchart from Andy Robinson.
- Better distutils support with Dirk Datzert's assistance.
- Improvements for Asian fonts in paragraphs.
- Added _rl_accel._Ascii85Decode.
- Graphics and other bug fixes.
- Bug & leak fixes.
- improvements to pyRXP which can now be used in 16bit mode.
- Tables now can have row and column spanning.
- renderPM can now do PICT images.
- More charts and improvements to existing graphics classes.
extension Makefile fragments, because they really don't have anything to
do with the buildlink[12] frameworks. Change all the Makefiles that use
application.buildlink.mk and extension.buildlink.mk to use application.mk
and extension.mk instead.
