Version 1.8.4 of Cairo
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.
Other releases
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.
