Pango module version, meaning that modules compiled against earlier
versions are probably not compatible with this release. [#73147]

that can be used to render a text file using any of the available
backends. This is installed into bindir now.

Changes in the package
======================

programs linked against 1.4.0. This is just a workaround for our broken
libtool naming scheme and should be removed when it is fixed. Agreed
by rh@.
* Move installation of documentation to doc/, out of doc/html.
Overview of changes between 1.4.0 and 1.4.1

Jody Goldberg, Theppitak, Sven Neumann, Manish Singh, Morten Welinder]
This is a stable release providing new functionality as compared
to Pango-1.2, while maintaining source and binary compatibility.
Notable improvements in Pango since version 1.2:
* Support for characters beyond the basic-multilingual
plane of Unicode and updates of character properties to
match Unicode-4.0.
* The same modules are now used for the Xft and fontconfig
backends, reducing code duplication, and making it easier
to create new backends independent of Pango that use
fontconfig and FreeType.
* A better font and shaper selection algorithm is now used
that takes script information into account.
* Bidirectional base direction can now be automatically
determined from the text instead of explicitly set by
the application.
* Improvements to OpenType handling, especially for the GPOS
table. GPOS features are now enabled for Arabic.
installs are something like databases that need to be handled automatically
by the package system during installation of modules, not by the end user.
Bump PKGREVISION to 1. (As a side effect, the package gets simplified a lot).
There are no packages in pkgsrc installing pango modules at the moment.
When they come, we can easily add a framework to handle them, as has been
done for x11/gtk2.
