The libcaca library is a graphics library that outputs text
instead of pixels, so that it can work on older video cards
or text terminals. It is not unlike the famous AAlib library
except it supports colour output.

The C++ bindings, the ANSI/UTF-8 importers, and the canvas
resizer were fixed. The ncurses and the S-Lang driver now
support setting the window title. A few other minor bugs were
fixed.

functions, handle and cursor coordinates to the
canvases, and high level colorspace conversions.
The built-in font now has katakana, hiragana, and
CJK punctuation fullwidth glyphs. Many minor bugs
were fixed, a debug mode was introduced, shipped
programs have manual pages, and the internal file
formats were documented.
This release adds support for the blink, bold, italics, and underline attributes and zero-sized canvases. Buffer overflows in cucul_import() and Imlib2 support in cacaview were fixed. Documentation for most functions was updated, and a tutorial was started.
This version adds support for fullwidth Unicode characters in all text operations. Canvas flipping and rotation was improved. The X11 and OpenGL drivers can now be built as separate plugins to ease the task of binary package maintainers.
