2.7.0

WARNING: this is a security update.

When processing SVG files, CairoSVG could access other files online, possibly leading to very long renderings or other security problems.

This feature is now disabled by default. External resources can still be accessed using the "unsafe" or the "url_fetcher" parameter.

• Don’t restore current point after empty paths
• Assume that 1ch equals 0.5em
• Fix various deprecation warnings

2.5.2

• Fix marker path scale

2.5.1

WARNING: this is a security update.

When processing SVG files, CairoSVG was using two regular expressions which are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (REDoS).

If an attacker provided a malicious SVG, it could make CairoSVG get stuck processing the file for a very long time.

Other bug fixes:

• Fix marker positions for unclosed paths
• Follow hint when only output_width or output_height is set
• Handle opacity on raster images
• Don’t crash when use tags reference unknown tags
• Take care of the next letter when A/a is replaced by l
• Fix misalignment in node.vertices
