Aspose.SVG for Python via .NET 25.6 Release Notes

This page contains release-note information for Aspose.SVG for Python via .NET 25.6.0 (June 2024).

Major Features

The June 2024 release of Aspose.SVG for Python via .NET 25.6.0 brings a simplified Drawing API, new font style accessibility, and clear improvements in how SVGZ resources are handled.

Highlights

Feature or Change	Benefit
`style` property on `ITrueTypeFont`	Retrieve a complete font style for advanced text processing, diagnostics, or display.
Removal of bitmap/image legacy interfaces	Classes and types related to manual bitmaps and image processing (like `IBitmap` and `WebRotateFlipType`) have been removed for a more focused Drawing API.
SVGZ output - resource saving	External resources (fonts, images, CSS) are now exported in their original, uncompressed format when saving SVG as SVGZ, making resource use easier and more compatible.
SVGPathSegList construction with segment list	The constructor for `SVGPathSegList` now requires a list of path segments, ensuring safe and explicit creation of custom path lists.

Enhancements & Fixes

Font Style Discovery
ITrueTypeFont now features a .style property, giving direct access to the combined font style according to both the font-face rule and font data.
Streamlined Drawing API
All references and uses of IBitmap, WebRotateFlipType, and related documentation have been removed. The Drawing namespace now centers on vector, brush, font, and color classes.
SVGZ Output Handling
External resources are now saved without secondary compression during SVGZ export via SVGDocument.save(), so fonts, images, and CSS are available as-is for any post-processing or use.
SVGPathSegList Construction
When creating a custom SVGPathSegList, you now pass a Python list of path segment objects, giving more control and predictability when working with SVG paths.

Public API Changes

Added APIs

Module / Class	Member
`aspose.svg.drawing.ITrueTypeFont`	`.style` property

Changed APIs

SVGPathSegList constructor:
The alternate constructor now requires a list of SVGPathSeg items:
- Old: SVGPathSegList(list)
- New: SVGPathSegList(path_segments_list)

Removed APIs (Breaking)

IBitmap class and all methods
WebRotateFlipType enumeration

Migration Guide (Quick Checklist)

Font Inspection: Use the .style property on ITrueTypeFont to inspect or log font styling.
SVGPathSegList: When instantiating SVGPathSegList, pass a Python list of path segments.
Bitmap/Image Processing: Move image manipulation to standard Python libraries or use SVG rendering capabilities.
SVGZ Resource Export: Saved external resources with SVGZ files are now uncompressed and easily accessible.
API Imports: Clean up imports that reference the removed IBitmap and WebRotateFlipType.
