Overview of changes from pycairo 1.2.6 to pycairo 1.4.0
=======================================================
General changes:
Pycairo 1.4.0 requires cairo 1.4.0 (or later).

New methods:
    Context.clip_extents
    Context.copy_clip_rectangles
    Context.get_dash
    Context.get_dash_count
    Context.get_scaled_font
    Context.glyph_extents
    Context.glyph_path
    Context.show_glyphs
    LinearGradient.get_linear_points
    RadialGradient.get_radial_circles
    SolidPattern.get_rgba
    SurfacePattern.get_surface

Deleted methods:
    ImageSurface.create_for_array
    Remove Numeric Python support, since Numeric has been made obsolete
    by numpy, and numpy data can be read using
    ImageSurface.create_for_data.

Other changes:
    the module cairo.gtk has been removed (pygtk 2.7.0 onwards has cairo
    support built in).
