Batik 1.5.1 Release Notes
The latest stable Batik version is 1.5.1, which is the recommended
version. However, all the builds that were offered earlier are still
available in the apache archives.
Users of Batik 1.5 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 1.5.1
due to an issue in script security. Please see the Batik web
site for more info (http://xml.apache.org/batik).
1.5 -> 1.5.1
------------
1. Security:
A script security issue was reported in the Batik Squiggle
browser. Squiggle uses the Rhino scripting engine and some features
of that engine can be leveraged by malicious scripts to gain access
to otherwise protected resources (like the file system).
The Batik team has worked with the Rhino team to fix the issue
that was reported and the Batik 1.5.1 patch release addresses the
issue.
2. Features:
Rhino JavaScript Debugger now integrated with Squiggle.
Better line numbers in error messages.
Zachary DelProposto's Scroll pane class is added. Allows for
scrollbars on SVG documents.
Cool solitaire examples in SVG.
3. Performance fixes:
Parents who have children added/removed no longer invalidate
their entire area.
When a element is removed or CSS properties changed all next
siblings are not repainted unless CSS rules change them.
First event dispatch is much quicker than the past.
Switched to Xerces 2.5.0 to improve performance of data protocol.
Changes to paint properties on text is now _much_ faster.
When using many objects from an external file the file will only
be loaded/parsed once.
Modifying x/y and some viewBox changes on SVG elements is now much
faster.
Better JPEG embedding in PDF.
4. Conformance:
Batik now passes all non SMIL-Animation tests from the SVG Working
Group beSuite.
@font-face CSS property and font-face elements are now compliant
with SVG specification.
Changes to the 'class' attribute now update rendering tree
correctly.
selectSubString now implemented.
Dynamic modification of display, and marker properties supported.
SVG 'a' element respects 'preventDefault' on event object.
Pattern element no longer applies object bounding box transform
if viewBox is specified.
5. Bugs:
Fullscreen mode (F11) works again.
getExtentOfChar() returns bbox in text elements coordinate system.
SVGPoint now supports matrixTransform in more cases
clientX/Y now correct when target is a text element.
Bugfix in parsing some TrueType fonts fixed.
Now applies the 'all' media type to all content.
Image transcoders default to 400x400 rather than issuing an error
(consistent with viewer).
The properties opacity/filter/masking/pointer-events now work
on SVG elements.
Clearing text selection now works
Zero width/height image elements now work properly.
BBox info is correct for zero width/height items.
Fills/strokes text when text-rendering is set to geometricPrecision
rather than using drawGlyphVector.
getCssText() returns the relative version of URI's
SVG Graphics2D outputs correct rendering hints for text.
TextNodes returns the correct bounds.
Proper text child set as 'target' of events.
Events handled correctly for documents that reference the same
image multiple times.
Image are displayed as 'broken links' instead of being an error.
FeColorMatrix now respects color-interpolation-filters property.
elem.style.setProperty now works for shorthand properties.
Fixed race condition in JSVGComponent.set[SVG]Document.
Fixed several memory leaks dealing with use element.
Glyph element's 'd' attribute uses inherited winding-rule.
SVG 'style' element no longer generates multiple 'xml:space' attrs.
SAXDocumentFactory now generates only one CData node for each
CData section in source document.
Memory leak with addEventListener and objects that ref event
target fixed.
Click events now allow a small amount of 'slop'.
Fixed bug in rendering with Double Buffering.
Clicking on the Canvas no longer clears the system clipboard.
No longer recascades elements in use tree from foreign documents
Now supports CSS properties with the max negative 32bit int value
Now supports more JPEG image types.
No longer throws a Class Cast exception when using named colors
as the fallback for icc-colors
clearTimeout, clearInterval no longer throw exceptions for null
objects.
clipPath now respects clip-rule when using 'use' element.
