Memory leak causing problems with dia

[Klaus Stengel]

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/dia/+bug/48887

This bug is caused by a major memory leak in libpango and makes dia unusable on dapper and edgy. See GNOME bugzilla entries for details:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344766

Please update Ubuntu packages ASAP. Thanks.

pango 1.12.3 will be uploaded to dapper-updates.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Closing the Ubuntu task, since it's fixed in Edgy already with the following upload:

pango1.0 (1.13.3-0ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    - Improved build system. Using gnome-autogen.sh now.
      (gnome-common needed for bootstrapping)
    - Improved documentation. Docs now include list of new API for
      each stable version of Pango.
    - New public API:
      - pango_glyph_string_get_width
    - Little performance improvement.
    - Misc fixes.
    - Bugs fixed in this release:
      - pango_scan_int invokes undefined behaviour
      - PangoAttribute remains in wrong context.
      - pango_attr_list_splice: inconsistent docs
      - [ml_IN] not render for combination with ZWJ
      - list of new symbols for each version is missing in docs
      - autogen doesn't work with automake-1.6
      - Cache glyphstring extents
      - Memory leak in get_ruleset() in modules/basic/basic-fc.c
      - cvs build error in pango/opentype/Makefile
      - -no-undefined problem with new libtool

(Ubuntu Dapper) tasks is still valid though.

1.12.3 is in dapper-updates already - it's the latest release, which *doesn't* include the memleak fix yet.

[Jordan Erickson (lns)]

Is there any hope in getting 1.13 / patched version of 1.12 in Dapper? I'm desperately needing this fix :(

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Fix uploaded to dapper-updates, it has to be accepted and build now:

 pango1.0 (1.12.3-0ubuntu2) dapper-updates; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/patches/fix-get_ruleset-memory-leak.patch:
     - fix get_ruleset() memory leak exhibed while using dia by example
       (Ubuntu: #52274)

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Accepted into dapper-updates. Expect binary packages to be available in a couple of hours.

[Jordan Erickson (lns)]
