The Pixman rendering library is out with a major new release that presents several interesting new features.
New to the Pixman 0.28.0 release is support for sRGB coded images, a new API for fast glyph rendering, fast bi-linear scaling on iwMMX/Loongson/MMX, more fast paths in the MIPS DSPr2 back-end, and faster scaling in general along with special SSE2 optimizations.
More details on the new Pixman release are available from
the mailing list announcement.
