Updated: pango-1.6.0-2

[Gerrit P. Haase]

Pango has been updated to 1.6.0-2


NEWS
====
Uses GLib 2.4.8 now.
Added '--enable-explicit-deps=yes' to the configure options, so all
libraries pango depends on are also listed in the *.pc pkg-config
files. 


OLDS
====
This is a stable release providing new functionality as compared to
Pango-1.4, while maintaining source and binary compatibility. Notable
improvements in Pango since version 1.4 include:

 * Ellipsization in PangoLayout; that is, for truncating 
   lines by replacing text at the start middle or end of the line 
   with an ellipsis (...)

 * Custom font decoders; applications can specify how characters 
   are converted to glyphs for particular fonts
 
 * Support for setting a transformation matrix on a PangoContext
   and transformed rendering support for the FT2 backend

 * Support for OpenType fonts in the Hebrew and Thai shapers


DESCRIPTION
===========
Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on
internationalization. It forms the core of text and font handling for
GTK+-2.0. Canonical website: http://www.gtk.org/ & http://www.pango.org/
