First published release, under the name dgfx. The package was reorganised out of the marlin research repository, which was a workspace of experiments rather than a distributable package.

Added #

• package:dgfx/dgfx.dart as the single entry point, compatible with web and wasm. An architecture test walks the real import graph on every build to make sure nothing reachable from there touches dart:io, dart:isolate, dart:ffi or dart:html — and a guard case checks that the detector itself still works.
• package:dgfx/dgfx_io.dart for the features that need a native platform (BLFontLoader, BLIsolatePool), kept separate precisely so that importing them is an explicit decision.
• BLMatrix2D with multiply, invert, mapPoint, determinant and the translation, scaling and rotation constructors.
• Clipping against an arbitrary path (clipToPath, clipToRectPath, resetClip), clipping by coverage mask instead of rejecting by bounding box.
• BLStrokeOptions.minimumWidth, for the case where the requested width is zero and the thinnest line the device can draw is still expected.
• A box filter for minification in image patterns: when the matrix shrinks the source, the fetcher integrates the area each device pixel covers instead of sampling one texel. BLPatternFilter.box declares the intent; nearest and bilinear now behave that way on any minification, since both only describe what to do when magnifying.
• BLLayoutEngine.applyGPOSAdjustments returns each glyph's full adjustment — advance and placement — and the text layout applies both. Placement was read from the subtables and thrown away, which erases displaced accents.
• A runnable example and API documentation.

Fixed #

• The gradient fetchers built a lookup table of 256 entries for every gradient, where Blend2D sizes it from the stops and goes up to 1024. A table entry spanning a colour change is interpolated, so an abrupt change arrived as a ramp: across a sweep of step positions at 2479 px wide, the edge landed up to 5.3 px from where the stops put it, with a 10 px ramp at a sixth of the positions. Sized as the original does it, the worst case is 1.6 px and no ramp. The table is now built in one place instead of three copies.
• Curve flattening underestimated the area the curves enclose. An inscribed polyline always encloses less than the curve, and with a fixed tolerance the relative error grows as the radius falls: a circle of radius 2 px rasterized with area 11.3 against 12.57 analytic. The flattening leaf now emits the vertex that preserves the area of the sliver between the chord and the curve, which makes the polygon's area equal the curve's at any subdivision and also cuts the maximum deviation to a third. From radius 1 to 64 the rasterized area stays within 0.2 %.
• Stroking closed curved contours lost width: 25 % with bevel/round and 50 % with all three miter variants, which is the PDF default join. It was three defects compounded — the miter point came out at half the right distance, the join was applied on the wrong side of the turn, and the right-side call negated twice and returned the left side's points.
• Stroking a degenerate closed contour (m l h S, which is what PyMuPDF emits for every line) emitted the same rectangle twice with the same orientation, and the partial coverage of the edges saturated: a 1 px line came out with coverage 2 and no antialiasing.
• The rasterizer truncated the accumulated per-cell area and the output alpha instead of rounding, which shrank small shapes by up to 2 %.
• OpenType Extension lookups (GSUB 7, GPOS 9) computed the real type and discarded it, so no font using them applied substitution or positioning. On top of that GPOS 7, which is contextual positioning, was mistaken for an extension.

Changed #

• The licence is now MIT, with the Blend2D attribution (zlib) recorded in NOTICE, including the altered-version marking that clause 2 of the zlib licence requires.
• The BLFontFace constructor became private. It took thirty fields of already-decoded internal state and was never usable from outside; BLFontFace.parse(bytes) is the only way in.
• The experimental research rasterizers, the SVG parser and the PNG writer stay in the repository but are kept out of the published package. With that, the package has zero runtime dependencies.
• The published package carries only README, LICENSE, NOTICE, CHANGELOG, pubspec, lib/ and example/. The test suite, the benchmarks, the generation tools and the research material stay in the repository.

Moved #

• The Dart port of the OpenJDK Marlin renderer moved from lib/src/marlin/ to third_party/marlin_openjdk/, with its own licence (GPL version 2 with Classpath Exception), Oracle's copyright headers restored in every file and the modification notice the GPL requires. It does not enter the published package and not one line of it is reachable from package:dgfx/dgfx.dart — there is an architecture test that checks this. It still serves as an independent oracle in the conformance tests.

Removed #

• The unicode and logging dependencies, which no file used. archive became a development-only dependency.
