The instanced API allows a lot of work to be offloaded to the GPU and
makes software rasterization tolerable performance-wise in most cases.
This is similar to sd_ass but there are some substantial differences:
- It uses a BGRA atlas to allow drawing bitmap emoji.
- De-duplicates images internally to significantly reduce atlas size by
reusing the same atlas image for different instances.
- Exploits bilinear interpolation to further reduce atlas size of some
primitives. For example this allows reducing background boxes to one
very stretched pixel.
Bumps subrandr requirement to `v1.1` since this API is not present in
earlier versions.
