+	Subject: cairo snapshot 1.15.4 now available
+
+	A new cairo snapshot 1.15.4 is now available from:
+
+	  http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.15.4.tar.xz
+
+	    which can be verified with:
+
+	    http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.15.4.tar.xz.sha1
+	    4e5d28697ac5a750a071edcf4a99e8af8d7c04b2  cairo-1.15.4.tar.xz
+
+	    http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.15.4.tar.xz.sha1.asc
+	    (signed by Bryce Harrington)
+
+	  Additionally, a git clone of the source tree:
+
+	  git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/cairo
+
+	    will include a signed 1.15.4 tag which points to a commit named:
+	    9fe6683cb105354e86ea649ba7a13052c7edc757
+
+	    which can be verified with:
+	    git verify-tag 1.15.4
+
+	    and can be checked out with a command such as:
+	    git checkout -b build 1.15.4
+
+	This new snapshot incorporates changes over the past year since the
+	1.15.2 snapshot, including all the fixes from the 1.14 release series.
+
+	Of particular note in this snapshot is a wealth of work by Adrian
+	Johnson to enhance PDF support, as well as numerous bug fixes provided
+	by him and other contributors.
+
+	For a complete log of changes since the last release, please see:
+
+	    http://cairographics.org/releases/ChangeLog.1.15.4
+
+	Features
+	--------
+	* The PDF backend has gained support for a range of widely used
+	  features, including thumbnails, page labels, metadata, document
+	  outlines, structured text, hyperlinks, and tags.  Tags permit adding
+	  logical info such as headings, tables, figures, etc. that facilitates
+	  indexing, accessibility, text reflow, searching, and extraction of the
+	  tagged items to other software.  For details on this new PDF
+	  functionality, see:
+
+	    https://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2016-June/027427.html
+
+
+	API Changes
+	-----------
+
+	  cairo_win32_surface_create_with_format
+
+	    Added a cairo API to set up Win32 surfaces for HDC with alpha
+	    channels.
+
+	  cairo_pdf_surface_add_outline
+	  cairo_pdf_surface_set_metadata
+	  cairo_pdf_surface_set_page_label
+	  cairo_pdf_surface_set_thumbnail_size
+	  cairo_tag_begin
+	  cairo_tag_end
+	  CAIRO_STATUS_TAG_ERROR
+
+	    New API for added PDF functionality (see above), and new error
+	    status item for problems relating to PDF tagging.
+
+	  CAIRO_STATUS_WIN32_GDI_ERROR
+	  CAIRO_STATUS_FREETYPE_ERROR
+	  CAIRO_STATUS_PNG_ERROR
+
+	    New error status items for handling of GDI, libfreetype, and libpng
+	    errors, respectively.
+
+	Dependency Changes
+	------------------
+	None
+
+	Performance Optimizations
+	-------------------------
+	None
+
+	Bug Fixes
+	---------
+	* Bug fixes from 1.15.2 (see the 1.15.2 NEWS for details)
+
+	* Fix playback of recording surfaces into PDF surfaces, where objects
+	  with negative coordinates were not getting drawn.  To address this,
+	  the coordinate systems for PDF and PS have been changed to match
+	  cairo's coordinate system.  This allows recording surfaces to be
+	  emitted in cairo coordinates, and results in the same origin being
+	  used for all operations when using the recording surface XObject.
+	  Test cases for PDF and PS have also been updated accordingly.
+	  (Bug #89232)
+
+	* Fix "invalidfont" error on some printers when printing PDFs with
+	  embedded fonts that have glyphs (such as spaces) with
+	  num_contours == 0.  (Bug #79897)
+
+	* Fix missing glyphs such as thin dashes, which get scaled to 0 in
+	  userspace and thus have their drawing operations culled.  (Bug #94615)
+
+	* Fix other oddities caused by variously idiosyncratic fonts.
+
+	* Fix deadlock when destruction of a scaled font indirectly triggers
+	  destruction of a second scaled font, causing the global cache to be
+	  locked twice.	 (Bug #93891)
+
+	* Fix X errors reported to applications when shmdt() is called before
+	  the Attach request is processed, due to missing xcb and xlib calls.
+
+	* Fix random failure in record-paint-alpha-clip-mast test case, caused
+	  by an incorrect assumption that a deferred clear can be skipped.
+	  (Bug #84330)
+
+	* Fix crash when dealing with an XShmGetImage() failure, caused by a
+	  double free in _get_image_surface().	(Bug #91967)
+
+	* Fix invalid execution of ASCII85 data by the PS interpreter that the
+	  image operator didn't use, by flushing the extraneous data after
+	  drawing the image.  (Bug #84811)
+
+	* Fix decoding of Adobe Photoshop's inverted CMYK JPEG files in PDF
+	  export.
+
+	* Fix unbounded surface assertion in win32-print code.
+
+	* Fix a data race in freed_pool discovered by Firefox's cairo usage.
+	  The patch adads atomic int load and store functions, with relaxed
+	  memory ordering.  (Bug #90318)
+
+	* Cleanup debugging text sent to stdout instead of log.	 (Bug #95227)
+
+	* Fix build issue when using non-GNU strings utility.  (Bug #88639)
+
+	* Fix build of cairo modules as regular modules, not as versioned shared
+	  libaries.  (Bug #29319)
+
+	* Fix build on win32 using gcc 5.4.
+
+	* Fix build of script backend to require zlib.
+
+	* Update test suite reference images using Debian Jessie 64-bit and
+	  poppler current as of June, 2016.
+
+	* Various improvements to documentation and tests, compiler warning
+	  fixes, and an assortment of code refactoring and cleanup.
