Hi,
that's correct, I wrote detailed description of changes into commit
messages only. There are no release notes, simply because there is no
release of these changes yet. Trunk is not a release, trunk is a
development version of the code, an unstable codebase which will be
released once the changes settle. That's also the reason why the
online doxygen still lists the removed functions, it's still relevant
for the latest release, PoDoFo 0.9.2.
I mean, once the release will be done, the API changes being done
should be described in the release notes, just as you/all expect, the
best with a description how to migrate existing code (in my case copy
of the commit messages should do it).
I also agree with you, API changes are horrible, sometimes even
deprecation of functions, though I hope those I did are for good
reason. The drawing API allows more freedom now - you just define the
path and then Stroke, Fill or StrokeAndFill (the last it in one call,
not in two with path redefinition).
Bye,
zyx
