[Panel-devel] Accelerated rendering.

[Matteo Muratori]

Hi, I'm Matteo, the main Amanith developer.

Today I've released Amanith 0.3 ( http://www.amanith.org ), a 
cross-platform (Linux, Win32, MacOS X, FreeBSD and IRIX) open source C++ 
library for vector graphics. The new 0.3 release adds a full SVG 
1.2-compliant enhanced alpha compositing layer, supporting all 24 
compositing operations (base and extended Porter-Duff) in pure OpenGL. 
This makes Amanith the first opensource and crossplatform library that 
supports all of them in hardware (15 of 24 are available also without 
fragment programs). In addition a full geometry caching system has been 
introduced to speed up all drawing tasks.

Thanks to its hardware-accelerated soul, i think it may be considered a 
valid modern render engine for Plasma project.
