Changes

• Implementors of Output now have more control over how text gets rendered. The can opt to receive information about the text being laid out by returning a custom TextOutput in Output#textOutput.
• ExternalResourcePolicy now applies to all resources not only referenced SVG elements.
• Support for multi-char codepoints such as "𝄞".
• Rudimentary support for rendering emoji. This feature does not work on every operating system and JDK version.
• Support for more units:
  • rem
  • ch
  • Q
  • vw,vh,vmin,vmax
  • vi,vb
• ParsedElement now has access to the document it belongs to (via ParsedElement#document) and to its parent element (via ParsedElement#parent).
• The rx and ry attributes are now correctly applied in cases.
• Fixed rendering of paths with repeated cubic/quadratic bezier commands.
• Fixed usage of repeated values in the paint-order attribute.
• stroke-opacity and fill-opacity now correctly don't accumulate to child elements.
• Percentages in stroke related properties now correctly refer to the diagonal length of the current viewport.
• Fixed bounds computation of empty groups for which a transform is specified.
• Support for the transform-box property. (by @Cu3PO42 in #99)
• Prevent DOS attacks through exponential leaf nodes using use elements. The limits for this can be configured setting custom DocumentLimits in the LoaderContext.
• JSVG now provides OSGi metadata (by @HannesWell in #107)
• Preview support for animations. Not many properties outside of geometry properties are animatable. Only basic animation timings are implemented.
