Snapshot 0.5.0 (2005-05-20 Steve Chaplin <steve1097 at yahoo.com.au>)
==================================================================
This version has many changes which update Pycairo to the new cairo API.
The change list is not duplicated here, instead see the cairo/NEWS file
for full details of all these API changes.

Pycairo method names that were different from the underlying cairo
function names have been changed to make Pycairo more closely follow
cairo and so enable the cairo documentation to be used for writing
Pycairo programs.
NOTES has been updated to list the differences between the C API and the
Pycairo API.

Context.copy_path() has been implemented, it returns a Path instance
which supports the iterator protocol.

Python 2.3 is now required.

New examples:
examples/warpedtext.py 
	shows usage of the Path iterator

examples/cairo_snippets/
	shows many of the 'cairo-demo/cairo_snippets' examples

examples/gtk/png_view.py
	example using cairo.ImageSurface.create_from_png()
