A new backend was added, based +on the wxGraphicsContext class, which is available for wxWidgets 2.8.4 +and later. This backend produces antialized output similar to the +AGG backend but has no dependency on the AGG library. The basic wxDC +backend and the wxGraphicsContext backend process the text output +on their own, which results in much nicer plots than with the standard +Hershey fonts and is much faster than using the freetype library. New +options were introduced in the wxWidgets driver: + - backend: Choose backend: (0) standard, (1) using AGG library, + (2) using wxGraphicsContext + - hrshsym: Use Hershey symbol set (hrshsym=0|1) + - text: Use own text routines (text=0|1) + - freetype: Use FreeType library (freetype=0|1) +The option "text" changed its meaning, since it enabled the FreeType library +support, while now the option enables the driver's own text routines. + +1.4 pdf driver improvements + +The pdf driver (which is based on the haru library http://www.libharu.org) +processes the text output now on its own. So far only the Adobe Type1 +fonts are supported. TrueType font support will follow. Full unicode +support will follow after the haru library will support unicode strings. The +driver is now able to produce A4, letter, A5 and A3 pages. The Hershey font +may be used only for symbols. Output can now be compressed, resulting in +much smaller file sizes. +Added new options: + - text: Use own text routines (text=0|1) + - compress: Compress pdf output (compress=0|1) + - hrshsym: Use Hershey symbol set (hrshsym=0|1) + - pagesize: Set page size (pagesize=A4|letter|A3|A5) + 2.
