Release 1.15.12    (2018-04-04 Bryce Harrington <bryce@osg.samsung.com>)
========================================================================
The main focus for this release is the addition of Variable Font
support.  Variable fonts are single font files with various typography
characteristics, such as weight or slant, that users of the font can
adjust between two points.  Effectively this enables a single font to
behave as multiple fonts.

The Skia backend is disabled in this release, due to severe bitrot, and
will be removed in future releases.  Contact the cairo team if you have
a need of this backend.

Release 1.15.4     (2016-12-9 Bryce Harrington <bryce@osg.samsung.com>)
=======================================================================
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

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.


Release 1.15.2     (2015-12-10 Bryce Harrington <bryce@osg.samsung.com>)

Release 1.14.2 (2015-03-09 Bryce Harrington <bryce@osg.samsung.com>)
====================================================================
This release provides collected bug fixes, along with one feature
enhancement for the xcb backend, and a small performance improvement for
fonts.

The running theme of the bug fixes is platform-specific issues, both
build and run-time.  Platforms with fixes include Sparc, AIX, Windows
(mingw), and Windows (MSVC8).  Memory leaks, valgrind issues, and PDF
issues round out our list.

It's come to light that changes in cairo 1.14 resulted in breakage on
MacOS X 10.4.  We've not yet determined whether to fix up the support,
or excise the 10.4-specific code and support only OS X 10.5 or newer.
Meantime, we'll only advertise cairo as working on OS X 10.5.

Features
--------
 * Improve xcb's handling of per-screen subpixel ordering.  If no
   Xft.rgba property is specified, default to the screen's subpixel
   order.

API Changes
-----------
None

Dependency Changes
------------------
None

Performance Optimizations
-------------------------
 * Improve performance of cpu_to_be32 and be32_to_cpu, making truetype
   subsetting of large fonts run about 15% faster.

Bug Fixes

Release 1.14.0 (2014-10-13 Bryce Harrington <bryce@osg.samsung.com>)
====================================================================
Hard to believe it's been over a year since our last release, but it's
not for lack of activity.  This release includes contributions of a wide
assortment of bug fixes, build system improvements, warnings cleanups,
codebase refactoring, test suite repairs, and static analysis work.

This release is lighter on features (compared with 1.12.10) but includes
a highly demanded rehaul of our image downscaling functionality, which
solves a serious problem experienced by Inkscape users when shrinking
embedded bitmaps in SVG files.  The new scaling algorithms are used by
the image backend and by other backends as needed for fallbacks.


Features
--------

  Filtering improvements for the image backend, in particular
  down-scaling of images produces filtered images that depend on all the
  pixels of the source. When using the image backend you get the
  following settings:

  CAIRO_FILTER_GOOD: uses a box filter for scales less than .75 in
    either direction. For scales larger than this, the same filter as
    CAIRO_FILTER_BILINEAR is used.

  CAIRO_FILTER_BEST: uses a Catmull-Rom filter always. When upscaling
    more than 2x this will produce anti-aliased square pixels, similar
    to OS/X.

  CAIRO_FILTER_GAUSSIAN: uses PIXMAN_FILTER_BEST, which in current
    pixman is the same as BILINEAR. (This is subject to change in the
    future).

  xlib and xcb also use the image fallback for GOOD/BEST filters, but
  note that other backends do not implement these filtering fixes yet,
  however other actions may cause them to use an image fallback which
  will cause these filters to be used.

  Improve handling of device transformation and scaling, allowing Cairo
  to now support scaling at a device level, permitting easier, more
  transparent HiDPI support.

  Support JBIG2 mime data in PDF.  This allows embedding of more
  compressed JPEG formats within PDF, rather than including the full
  uncompressed image.  Also, reduce the number of transparency groups
  used by PDF to keep the file size small and viewing/printing of the
  PDF fast.

  Expand the embedding section to include stencil mask support.

  Reorder font declarations to be in natural order.

  Update the Skia backend to build against current Skia (as of June
  2014).

  Drop Link-Time Optimization (LTO) support from build system.  This
  seems to have caused much trouble for unclear benefit, and most
  distros are reverting or disabling it anyway.

  Optimize VBO size on GL to 1M and to 16k for EGL.  This improves
  (theoretical) performance for desktop GLX use cases while avoiding
  hitting VBO memory size limitations on embedded devices.

API Changes
-----------

  cairo_surface_set_device_scale, cairo_surface_get_device_scale:

    Sets a scale that is multiplied to the device coordinates
    determined by the CTM when drawing to @surface. One common use for
    this is to render to very high resolution display devices at a scale
    factor, so that code that assumes 1 pixel will be a certain size
    will still work.

  cairo_egl_device_get_display, cairo_egl_device_get_context:

    Support get/set of EGLContext and EGLDisplay for egl-based cairo
    devices, similar to GLX.

Dependency Changes
------------------

  Cairo now requires glib 2.14 for its gobject helper functions,
  and pixman 0.30 for downscaling.


Bug fixes
---------

  Don't embed CMYK Jpeg images in svg.

  Fix tests to place output in proper location.

  Fix determination of alpha for all surfaces when recording.

  Extend oversize check to cairo_gl_surface_create_for_texture, so an

  Fix path-currentpoint test by preserving current-point in
  copy_path()/append_path() sequence

Release 1.12.14 (2013-02-10 Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>)
===================================================================
In the last week we had a few more bugs reported and promptly resolved.
As these are a combination of regressions and stability issues, it is
time for a prompt update and release. Many thanks to everyone for
testing and reporting issues, and helping to make Cairo better.

Bug fixes
---------

  Prevent user callbacks accessing user-data during destroy to prevent
  use-after-free bugs.
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722975

  Use standard names for glyphs in subset fonts (PDF).
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60248

  Fix detection of Win98. The logic for detecting Win98 (and its broken
  AlphaBlend()) was inverted, disabling AlphaBlend() for everyone.

  Prevent numeric overflow from extrapolating polygon edges to the clip
  boundary and causing severe render artifacts.
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60489

  Fix computation of glyph string coordinates when breaking up runs
  for xlib.

  Fix an assertion in the win32 backend for failing to clear its
  similar-images.
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60519


Release 1.12.12 (2013-01-31 Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>)
===================================================================
The goal of this release is to fix the synchronisation problems that
were exhibited in the SHM transport for cairo-xlib. This cropped up
any place that tried to rapidly push fresh pixel data to the X server
through an ordinary image surface, such as gimp-2.9 and evince.

Bug fixes
---------

   Avoid replacing the entire image when uploading subimages
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59635

   Force synchronisation for scratch SHM image buffers, so that we do
   not overwrite data as it is being read by X.
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59635 (also)

   Fix typos in detecting multisampling for the GL (MSAA) backend.

   Fix a memory leak in the GL (MSAA) backend.

   Fix a reference counting bug when mapping a GL surface to an image.


Release 1.12.10 (2013-01-16 Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>)
===================================================================
A heap of bug fixes everywhere, and the gradual completion of the MSAA
backend for cairo-gl. Perhaps the most noteworthy set of the bugfixes
was the crusage lead by Behdad Eshfabod to make font handling by
pango/cairo/fontconfig fully threadsafe. This testing revealed a couple
of races that needed fixing in Cairo's scaled-font and glyph cache.

Bug fixes
---------

  Append coincident elements to the recording's surface bbtree so that
  the list is not corrupted and the overlapping elements lost.

  Fix cairo-trace to correctly record map-to-image/unmap-image and then
  replay them.

  Ignore MappingNotifies when running the XCB testsuite as they are sent
  to all clients when the keyboard changes. The testsuite would detect
  the unexpected event and complain.

  Handle very large images in the XCB backend.

  Fix a memory leak in the xlib/shm layer, and prevent use of the SHM
  surfaces after the display is closed.
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58253

  Handle resizing of bitmap fonts, in preparation for a fix to
  fontconfig to correctly pass on the user request for scaling.

  Always include subroutine 4 (hint replacement idion) when subsetting
  type 1 fonts in order to prevent a crash in cgpdftops on Mac OS/X

  Fix a couple of typos in the cairo-gobject.h header files for
  introspection.

  Prevent a mutex deadlock when freeing a scaled-glyph containing a
  recording-surface that itself references another scaled-glyph.
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54950

  Make scaled-font cache actually thread-safe and prevent
  use-after-frees.

  Restore support for older versions of XRender. A couple of typos and a
  few forgotten chunks prevented the xlib compositor from running
  correctly with XRender < 0.10. Note that there are still a few
  regressions remaining.


Release 1.12.8 (2012-11-24 Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>)
===================================================================
Another couple of weeks and a few more bugs have been found and fixed,
it is time to push the next point release. Many thanks to everyone who
reported their issues and helped us track down the bugs and helped
testing the fixes.

Bug fixes
---------

  Expand the sanity checking for broken combinations of XSendEvent and
  ShmCompletionEvent.

  Notice that "The X.Org Foundation" sometimes also identifies itself
  as "The Xorg Foundation".

  Handle various ages of libXext and its Shm headers.

  Fix the invalid clipping of the source drawable when using SHM
  transport to upload images.
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56547

  Handle all Type1 postscript operators for better font compatibility.
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56265
