What's New?

Version 12.1.3 - Released September 17, 2026

Major Feature Highlights

• Font registry redesign - CustomFontRegistry now reports the outcome of every font addition through FontAddResult, and its collision handling is configurable via PostscriptNameCollisionPolicy and FamilyStyleCollisionPolicy. Added CustomFontRegistry.Merge for combining registries, CustomFontRegistry.Remove(String), and CustomFontRegistry.AddFontAlias(String, String)/CustomFontRegistry.RemoveFontAlias(String, String) for attaching extra lookup names to an already-registered font; FontInfo.Aliases exposes the aliases added this way. See Working with Font Registry for details.

Deprecation

• CustomFontRegistry.Add signature change - the CustomFontRegistry.Add overloads now return a collection of FontAddResult objects, one for each font in the file, instead of string. Read FontAddResult.PostscriptName of a result to get the postscript name. The CustomFontRegistry(FontRegistry) copy constructor has been removed - use new CustomFontRegistry() followed by CustomFontRegistry.Merge instead.
• FontMissingEventArgs property rename - FontMissingEventArgs.FontName has been renamed to FontMissingEventArgs.PostscriptName.

New Features

• Added CompressionType.Png.
• Added CompressedImage.CreateFromFile(String) and CompressedImage.CreateFromStream(Stream) overloads that keep an existing PNG or JPEG source's encoded bytes as is instead of decoding and recompressing them.
• Added soft mask writing to SVG output.
• Added FontRegistry.TryGetPostscriptName(String, String, String@), a non-throwing family/style-to-postscript-name lookup.

General Improvements

• Improved SVG output to reuse repeated graphics container content through <defs>/<use>, producing smaller files.
• Improved SVG output to embed existing JPEG-compressed image content directly instead of decoding and re-encoding it.
• Improved FontRegistry.Installed to build the installed-font list lazily on first access instead of unconditionally at startup.
• Improved font lookup and text rendering performance: the font registry now finds fonts through indexes instead of scanning all fonts, and parsed font data and glyph caches are shared instead of being created again.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed soft mask placement for Form XObjects whose bounding box extends outside the page.
• Fixed incorrect sizing and clipping of nested GraphicsContainer content when a container's declared size did not match its actual content bounds.
• Fixed a stale DPI value being used after changing a bitmap's resolution after its Graphics was already created.
• Fixed an issue where a rotated tiling brush lost its rotation when written to SVG.
• Fixed an issue where ICC profiles were not trimmed to their declared size before writing to PNG, causing write failures.
• Fixed several exceptions, including FontMissingException and UnsupportedFontException, that showed a bare value instead of a descriptive message.
• Fixed an issue where image masks with an inverted decode array lost their color when a PDF file was read and saved again.
• Fixed an issue where PDF files larger than 2 GB were written and read with incorrect object offsets.
• Fixed an issue where the SvgWriter(Stream, Int32, Int32) constructor wrote an incorrect width attribute to SVG output.
• Fixed an issue where the EpsWriter(String, Int32, Int32) and EpsWriter(Stream, Int32, Int32) constructors produced an incorrect bounding box and horizontal scaling in EPS output.
• Fixed an issue where the destination file of an image writer stayed locked after a failed write.

• Fixed an issue where tab positions ignored the copy-fitting text scale.
• Fixed an issue where lossless JPEG transforms could produce oversized output.

Version 12.0.8 - Released August 5, 2026

Major Feature Highlights

• Licensing updates - added the Floating license type for containerized environments (e.g., Docker), and Desktop licenses now use strong-name (public key token) binding instead of file-name binding. These changes don't break existing license keys. See Licensing for details.
• Added support for PDF/VT.
• PdfPage class - introduced PdfPage for PdfWriter, replacing a large set of overloaded AddPage methods with a single class describing page size and PDF boxes.
• Compressed images - added the CompressedImage class, a new image type that stores raster data in compressed form, giving more control over how images are handled when reading and writing PDF content.
• Soft masks - added soft mask support to Graphics for representing variable opacity as a graphics container; in PDF output, soft masks are written as native PDF objects without rasterization.

New Features

• Added the ability to apply a license key via the GRAPHICSMILL_LICENSE_KEY environment variable.
• Added optional usage telemetry for Developer and Floating license keys; other key types send no data. Disable it via the GraphicsMillEnableTelemetry setting.
• Added the GraphicsContainer.Walk(Item, ContainerItem}) method for recursively traversing the items of a GraphicsContainer; the callback receives each item and its parent container item.

Deprecation

• Namespace rename - the AdvancedDrawing namespace has been renamed to Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing. For migration details, see the Drawing documentation.
• Legacy Drawing namespace removed - the old GDI-based Drawing namespace has been removed, along with Bitmap.GetGraphics() and Bitmap.GetGdiPlusGraphics(). Bitmap.GetAdvancedGraphics() has been renamed to Bitmap.GetGraphics(). See Breaking Changes for migration details.
• Removed the RedEyeRemoval transform and related classes.
• Removed the License Manager tool. Activation codes are now shown directly in the "License not found" exception message.
