+  Additionally, a git clone of the source tree:
+
+git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/cairo
+
+    will include a signed 1.8.6 tag which points to a commit named:
+e2a2eddcfb8fc73f3decdb91c00e8e6d5282e09c

+git checkout -b build 1.8.6
+
+The cairo community is pleased to announce the 1.8.6 release of the
+cairo graphics library. This is the third update to cairo's stable
+1.8 series and contains a small number of bug fixes (in particular a
+few fixes for failures of cairo 1.8.4 on Quartz and PDF, and build fixes
+for a couple of backends). This is being released just under a month
+after cairo 1.8.4.
+
+We recommend that everyone using cairo upgrade to 1.8.6.

+Build fixes
+-----------
+Fix build of DirectFB backend with debugging enabled:
+
+   Bug in _cairo_directfb_surface_release_source_image function
+   http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18322
+
+Fix build on OS/2.
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+Workaround a mis-compilation of cairo_matrix_invert() that generated
+invalid matrices and triggered assertion failures later. The issue was
+reported by Peter Hercek.
+
+Invalid computation of the modulus:
+
+   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466258
+
+Invalid referencing of patterns in the Quartz backend:
+
+   Failed assertion `CAIRO_REFERENCE_COUNT_HAS_REFERENCE
+   (&pattern->ref_count)' when using cairo quartz backend
+   http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18632
+
+Invalid references to glyphs after early culling, causing segmentation
+faults in the PDF backend:
+
+http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2008-December/015976.html
+
+Check for XRender in the XCB backend, or else we may attempt an invalid
+memory access:
+
+    XCB backend fails with missing render.
