Version 2.58.90
===============

librsvg crate version 2.59.0-beta.0

Thanks to Amyspark and Centricular, librsvg has been ported to the
Meson build system.  Librsvg no longer uses autotools!  This is the
first experimental/alpha release so that distributions can get their
packaging scripts changed and report errors before the 2.59.0 release.

In theory, librsvg should build like a normal meson-based project.
See devel-docs/compiling.rst for details and documentation about the
compile-time options available in meson_options.txt.

Meson should let full builds of librsvg work reliably on Windows and
MacOS, and to be integrated as a subproject in other meson-based
projects.

Requirements:

- rustc 1.70.0 or later
- cargo-cbuild 0.9.19 or later

Changes in this release:

- Librsvg now uses Meson instead of Autotools (Amyspark, Chun-wei Fan,
  Kleis Auke Wolthuizen).

- There is a -Davif meson option to include support for AVIF in the
  image-rs crate, which librsvg uses to load raster images.  See
  devel-docs/compiling.rst for details.  (Jan Alexander Steffens)

- Start revamping the fuzzing infrastructure (correctmost).

Things that I would love people to test:

- Do distros need to patch anything in the meson files?  This should
  not be required; please file a bug if you find there is something missing.

- Does the "cargo vendor" and source replacement machinery work?

Special thanks to Amyspark, Chun-wei Fan, Jordan Petridis, Kleis Auke
Wolthuizen, and Lovell Fuller for doing the hard work of mesonifying
librsvg, and for their suggestions about build-time options.
