+ 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

+ 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.
