Subject: Ip Clearance: 1st version of Svg replacement available

	Hi *,

as mentioned in [1] I have now finished and reintegrated the first=20
version of the Svg replacement from the branch [2] to trunk after=20
uptating and building Mac and Win versions. It is stable and works well=20
and is also pretty complete from an Svg point of view. Main=20
features/differences to the version which was in OOo3.4beta are:

- IP clearance: This change allowed to remove six Gpl/Lgpl libs, namely=20
librsvg, libcroco, libgsf, gdk-pixbuf, glib, and pango gettext. These=20
were used as an external renderer. The new Svg uses an internal=20
interpreter in a new library and some services.

- File Format: [ ... ]

- Interpretation: Svg is no longer interpreted each time it needs to be=20
rendered (as by an extrenal renderer), [ ... ]

- Quality: [ ... ]

- Completeness: I implemented most Svg features from Svg1.1, but not yet =

using animations or interactions (but possible in the future due to an=20
own interpreter, impossible with an extern Svg renderer). [ ... ]

- Side effects: I had to fix cropping (unified with new primitive) which =

works now also for mirrored graphics (vecer worked) and quite some other =

stuff. [ ... ]

- Caveats: This is a bigger change, but most stuff is isolated in the=20
two mentioned services. There will be errors (I'm too long a programmer=20
to deny that :-)), but I tried to be as careful as possible. To find=20
them, Your help will be needed. Please feel free to play around with any =

Svg You can find and report problems early.
