WARNING: this is a security update.

When processing SVG files, CairoSVG could access other files online, possibly leading to very long renderings or other security problems.

This feature is now disabled by default. External resources can still be accessed using the "unsafe" or the "url_fetcher" parameter.

WARNING: this is a security update.

When processing SVG files, CairoSVG was using two regular expressions which are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (REDoS).

If an attacker provided a malicious SVG, it could make CairoSVG get stuck processing the file for a very long time.

WARNING: this is a security update.

CairoSVG was vulnerable to XML eXternal Entity (XXE) attacks, this release fixes this vulnerability by not resolving the XML entities anymore.

The --unsafe option has been added to force the resolution of XML entities. Obviously, this option is not safe and should only be used with trusted SVG files.
