But it isn't even in 1.14. I take it you're referring to: • API to set surface metadata (title, author, etc). This should be a generic surface API. See two threads: [1] [2] > Is there a specific reason or are there any plans to implement that? The roadmap is out of date and has not been updated in some time. I would guess the only reason for this feature not being included was that an implementation was not available for integration at time of the release. For 1.14, we didn't follow the roadmap; we based the release on what contributions showed up as ready during the development period. > Or would it be added if a supply a new patch for this for 1.14 (that's an > offer ;)? I think there's a good chance of that. Please start by proposing what the user-visible API would look like (possibly you could just re-propose http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2007-September/011441.html) for folks to throw darts at. Once there's a rough consensus on the API, then tackle the implementation. Thanks, Bryce -- cairo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo
