string2path 0.3.1

• Fix Intel macOS build (#209).

• Fix the case when -flto=* is passed to CFLAGS (#210).

string2path 0.3.0

• Fix a CRAN linker warning about macOS deployment target mismatch on M1 by setting MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET before invoking cargo (#202, #208).

• Migrate to fontique and skrifa (#99).

  • Support variable fonts.
  • Drop support for WASM for now.

• font_weight now accepts numeric values (e.g. 400) in addition to character strings (e.g. "normal").

string2path 0.2.2

• Fix a CRAN warning (#149).

string2path 0.2.1

• Fix a regression about fill rule (#131).

• Address new CRAN check on the compiled code in sub-directories (#144, #146).

string2path 0.2.0

• Partially support COLRv1 emoji fonts.

  • COLRv1 emoji font is a color emoji, but not all color emoji is COLRv1 format. For example, Noto Color Emoji has several variants, and it seems the primary one is CBDT/CBLC format.
  • Additional information are currently just discarded.
    • The clip and layer composition information are just discarded. While this can be useful, it’s not very easy to use these information in R.

• Fix string2fill() and string2stroke(); when the second argument is a path to a file, these unintentionally worked as string2path().

• string2path() now generates the same outline as string2fill() and string2stroke() (#69).

• path_id and glyph_id are now 1-origin.

• The result of string2fill() and string2stroke() now don’t contain a path_id column. I found the calculation of path_id had never been correct, and it’s probably better to remove it to avoid confusion.

string2path 0.1.8

• This is a maintenance release to comply with the CRAN repository policy.

string2path 0.1.7

• This is a maintenance release to fix a build error on ARM Linux.

string2path 0.1.6

• This is a maintenance release to update the dependency Rust crates.

string2path 0.1.5

• This is a maintenance release to fix a misassumption about R installation without shared libraries.

string2path 0.1.4

• Fix build failure with Rust >= 1.70 on Windows

string2path 0.1.3

• This is a maintenance release to fix a misassumption about Rust installation on Windows.

string2path 0.1.2

• This is a maintenance release to disable downloading pre-compiled binaries in order to comply with the CRAN Repository Policy.

string2path 0.1.1

• This is a maintenance release to fix some mistakes pointed by the CRAN maintainer.

Breaking changes

• Drop support for R < 4.2.

string2path 0.1.0

Breaking changes

• Drop support for R < 4.1.

• Now all functions accept font family name. This is to support TTC file properly, which contains more than one fonts. A new function dump_fontdb() is useful to check the actual family name (and the weight and the style) to specify. They also accept a file path, so the existing code should work, except when specifying tolerance without the named argument.

• The minimum supported Rust version is bumped to 1.56.0 for the 2021 edition.

string2path 0.0.4

• This is a maintenance release to make the installation work even on a slow internet connection.

string2path 0.0.3

• This is a maintenance release to improve configure scripts to detect Rust installations correctly. No new features are added.

string2path 0.0.2

• Fix CRAN build errors.
• Support “open path”-type glyphs (#7).

string2path 0.0.1

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
