[Martin H. <mar...@si...>]

Dear All,

The latest Graphite engine has been released. It fixes a few minor bugs in the collision avoidance, but those changes may move some nuktas as smidgen (but enough to look nicer!). There is also what I consider may be a potential security bug. If anyone wants the details for cherry picking, please contact me privately.

The sources are available from the usual places:

https://github.com/silnrsi/graphite/releases/tag/1.3.9
https://sourceforge.net/projects/silgraphite/files/graphite2/

The Changelog says:

    . Add Collision COLL_ISSPACE to allow for visible spaces in collision avoidance
    . Add segment and pass direction information to tracing output
    . Bug fix rule length testing in 32-bit
    . Increase slanted margin distances for collision avoidance
    . Change kerning algorithm to simple outline expansion. Seems to make no visible difference.
    . Add trace2svg to test tools

My hope, probably forlorn, is that this release will stand for a good long while.

Yours,
Martin
