Synfig goes Cairo

Post by Genete »

After months of development, finally the new renderer for Synfig Studio using Cairo is ready.
It still needs a testing a debugging period but basically it works. It admits now further improvements in its performance specially since the color space from Cairo is the same than the screen so no more color conversion should be needed.

This new renderer improves the user response on the interface by increasing the render speed, one of the most repetitive complains of the users.

It will be merged to the stable version and we expect to release this feature soon.
Cheers

Yes! That's the branch to build it. Use the git version because it has the latest patches to make it build in Linux.
Anyway it is planned to do a release soon.
Good luck!
