Update Canvas to 1.3.9

[mahnunchik]

Hi @kangax

Could you please update canvas node module to 1.3.9 for compatibility with node v4 and v5.

[asturur]

we have a compatibility problem for node4 regarding jsdom.
As of now we cannot make fabricjs compatible both with node 0.12 and node4.

@asturur Maybe there is sense to drop support for node 0.12 and maintain only node v4 and v5?

Hello,

I am a bit new to node so I am perhaps misunderstanding, so bear with me kindly.
When I check the version of node-canvas that fabric is using, I get version 1.1.6.
The current version of node-canvas is 1.3.10.
I don't need a newer version of node as @mahnunchik but is it possible to upgrade node-canvas that fabric is using?

I am scrambling to get flipX-ed itext to be positioned the same way in node-fabric as in browser fabric, so I thought perhaps upgrading node-canvas would help????

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

You can update by yourself to latest canvas, ot works good with node 0.12, while in needs changes if you update jsdom.

This will not help with text handling under node as far as i know.

Thanks @asturur
Pity about the text handling problem.

[asturur]

That depends on how libpango and libcairo (don t remember which one) handles text whitespace.

https://github.com/mahnunchik/fabric.js works perfect with Node 5 on Linux and Mac

[asturur]

does it work without updating jsdom? because here on travis it fails compilation if i put node 4 on and i do not put jsdom 6.5.x

Thanks for the info, @asturur

pls update this .. i'm stuck in node 0.12 only because of this

[asturur]

we updated to canvas 1.3.x and jsdom 3.x, allowing for node compatbility from 0.10 to 5
When 1.6.0 hits npm you should be fine.
