All releases of Cairo
Release Notes: Various minor bugs have been fixed.
Release Notes: Support for mesh gradients has been implemented. A new callback API has been added to allow applications to provide the pixel data for the region of interest at the time of rendering. Common APIs have been added to address any surface as an image and so allow direct modification of the raster data. The new backend cario-ucb has been added for X11 using XCB. Many performance issues have been addressed, including an overhaul of the rasteriation pipeline. Antialias hints have been added, and are interpolated by the raserisers to fine-tune their performance versus quality. The OpenGL backend has been enhanced.
Release Notes: A large number of bugs were fixed.
Release Notes: Cairo was reworked to interoperate more closely with various acceleration architectures. A tracing utility, cairo-trace, was implemented, creating replayable, compact sequences of drawing commands made by an application, allowing better debug and performance optimization. The image backend is much faster with a new polygon rasterisation engine and a complete overhaul of the tessellator. The API was extended to better support printing, including dramatic file size reductions. The RGB16 format was resurrected.
Release Notes: Several fixes were made to Type 1 subsetting in cairo-pdf. Building on OpenBSD was fixed. A failure to include the contents of any sub-windows when copying from a window source was resolved in cairo-xlib. Several further minor bugs were fixed.
Release Notes: Several minor configuration and build issues were resolved. A random crash caused by _cairo_clip_intersect_mask(), causing all rendering to the context to stop, was fixed. Transforming nearly-degenerate matrices into degenerate matrices is now avoided. A few FreeType font handling bugs were fixed. Various documentation improvements were made.
Release Notes: Several fixes for failures on Quartz and PDF and build fixes for a couple of backends were made. A check for XRender in the XCB backend was introduced to avoid invalid memory accesses.
Release Notes: Building with older bash and XRender was fixed. Triggering of a bug in X.org server 6.9 is now avoided. A bug in the computation of user-font glyph bounding boxes of Type3 fonts was fixed. A miscomputation of the size of fallback images was fixed. Cairo is now more tolerant of broken fonts when subsetting Type1 fonts. Several further bugs were fixed.
Release Notes: It is now possible to build Cairo without any font backend, which is most useful when the application provides custom font rendering through the user-font API. A failsafe fallback font is provided, though. Several compilation speed-ups and optimizations were made. Many bugs were fixed.
Release Notes: Many improvements were made to Cairo's ability to handle text, including a new "user fonts" feature as well as allowing glyphs to be embedded in PDF output along with their original text (for searching, selection, and copy-and-paste). A major revamp of the build system makes it much easier to build Cairo on various platforms. The performance on remote X servers without the Render extension was improved. The output of cairo-ps and cairo-pdf was made more efficient. Completions were made to the API. Many bugs were fixed.
