Release 1.12.4 (2012-10-05 Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk>)
===================================================================
More bugs, and more importantly, more fixes. On the cairo-gl side, we
have refinements to the MSAA compositor which enables hardware
acceleration of comparitively low-quality antialiasing - which is useful
in animations and on very high density screens. For cairo-xlib, we have
finally enabled SHM transport for image transfers to and from the X
server. A long standing required feature, SHM transport offers a notable
reduction in rendering latency by reducing the number of copies
required to upload image data - given hardware and driver support,
cairo-xlib can now perform zero copy uploads onto the GPU. And as usual
Adrian Johnson has been very busy fixing many different corner cases in
cairo-pdf, impoving opacity groups and font subsetting. Last, but not
least, for cairo-image Søren Sandmann Pedersen added support for
rendering glyphs to pixman and using that from within cairo. The new
glyph rendering facility reduces the overhead for setting up the
compositing operation, improving glyph thoughput for the image backend
by a factor of about 4. And before he did so, he also fixed up a few
bugs in the existing glyph rendering code. So many thanks to Andrea
Canciani, Adrian Johnson, Chuanbo Weng, Dongyeon Kim, Henry Song, Martin
Robinson, Søren Sandmann Pedersen and Uli Schlachter for their
contributions, finding and fixing bugs.

What is cairo
=============
Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output
devices. Currently supported output targets include the X Window
System (via both Xlib and XCB), quartz, win32, and image buffers,
as well as PDF, PostScript, and SVG file output. Experimental backends
include OpenGL, BeOS, OS/2, and DirectFB.

Cairo is designed to produce consistent output on all output media
while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when available
(for example, through the X Render Extension).

The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of
PostScript and PDF. Operations in cairo include stroking and filling
cubic Bézier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images,
and antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be
transformed by any affine transformation (scale, rotation, shear,
etc.).

Cairo has been designed to let you draw anything you want in a modern
2D graphical user interface.  At the same time, the cairo API has been
designed to be as fun and easy to learn as possible. If you're not
having fun while programming with cairo, then we have failed
somewhere---let us know and we'll try to fix it next time around.

Cairo is free software and is available to be redistributed and/or
modified under the terms of either the GNU Lesser General Public
License (LGPL) version 2.1 or the Mozilla Public License (MPL) version
1.1.
