In the 3 months since the previous release quite a few things happened on the development branch of DTCoreText. Additionally there were some issues related to iOS 7.1 and Xcode 5.1 that needed urgent addressing. Even though there are a few new features I decided to go with a bug fix version number. This way if somebody is using DTCoreText via CocoaPods and has the the version restricted to 1.6.x he gets all the critical fixes.
Changes
- FIXED: Crash on 64-bit CPU if an element had no foreground color
- FIXED: CGColor sanity check randomly fails
- FIXED: Implicit conversion warnings in DTHTMLWriter
- FIXED: Analyzer warnings in DTHTMLWriter
- FIXED: Compatibility of NSColor for deployment targets prior to OS X 10.8
- FIXED: Various documentation fixes
- CHANGED: Manual drawing of underlines removed as of iOS 7
- CHANGED: Completeness of AppleDoc comments now part of unit tests
- ADDED: Options parameter to setting HTML string convenience method on DTAttributedTextCell
- ADDED: Support for CSS “background” shorthand
- ADDED: Screenshot button to Demo app
- ADDED: NSCoding support for DTTextAttachment, DTTextBlock and DTCSSListStyle
Major contributors to this release were Ryan Johnson, Wim Haanstra and Jean-Charles Bertin.
I had to revert one addition where glyph runs would use the current drawing context foreground color for filling. Unfortunately CoreText bug I reported long time ago is still acting up, the attributes dictionary of a glyph run returns an invalid CGColor reference which causes a crash drawing a glyph run later on. As a workaround we need to have all elements have a default color.
The update is tagged on the GitHub repo and also available via CocoaPods.
