buildlink2.mk files back into the main trunk. This provides sufficient
buildlink2 infrastructure to start merging other packages from the
buildlink2 branch that have already been converted to use the buildlink2
framework.
PDFlib 4.0.3 is a free maintenance release for all customers with a 4.x
license. Your previous license key will work with this update, too. A
detailed account of changes since PDFlib 4.0.0 is available in the change log
at http://www.pdflib.com/pdflib/changes4.txt.
language bindings for PDFlib: we split the Makefile in a common part and
a package-specific part, and we cause the configure script to substitute
the correct values to link against an installed libpdf.so when linking
the binding shared objects.
optimizations, bug fixes in image-handling for JPEG, TIFF and PNG files,
support for TrueType fonts, and pluggin some memory leaks. The API changed
slightly and a major number bump on the shared library occurred.
Convert to use buildlink.mk files and mark as USE_BUILDLINK_ONLY. Add a
buildlink.mk file for use by other package Makefiles. Also install the
license info and PDFlib manual.
Changes:
Fixes bugs related to text positioning and text box formatting
Fixes bugs in the graphics engine, mostly related to arc drawing and subpath handling
Fixes an ActiveX crash in the open_image() function.
Improves internal accuracy and output accuracy of floating point numbers for better positioning
Fine-tunes UPR and encoding handling
Allows the base 14 fonts to be embedded
Makes TIFF and JPEG handling more robust against bad files.
Detects more illegal function call sequences
Makes exceptions thrown by the font machinery configurable in favor of error return values
Many improvements for using PDFlib on IBM S/390 (iServer zSeries), including fixes for several crashes, and an EBCDIC-safe Java wrapper (binaries available soon)
Introduces a dedicated PDFlib distribution for EBCDIC systems
Adds more documentation on using the language bindings in diverse environments, e.g. Java application servers
Splits the manual in two editions: one for the PDFlib ActiveX edition, and one for the other language bindings.
Adds more examples and algorithms to the PDFlib manual
Adds examples and documentation for using PDFlib with Allaire ColdFusion
Introduces support for querying several of the existing PDFlib parameters
XXX One of our pkg-gurus should probably look at this, as
a) /usr/pkg is a the moment hardwired
b) no builtin support for perl/phyton/tcl is yet enabled (I don't want
to build phyton in order to build the pdflib package).
