[cairo-announce] [ANNOUNCE] pixman release candidate 0.19.6 is now available

[Soeren Sandmann]

A new pixman release 0.19.6 is now available. This is a release
candidate for a stable 0.20.0 release.

News since 0.19.4:

- Much improved radial and linear gradients [Andrea Canciani]
- Performance improvements, especially for ARM [Siarhei Siamashka]
- Improved performance for the SSE2 backend [Liu Xinyun]
- Plus a number of bug fixes and improvements to the test suite
      [Dmitri Vorobiev, Mika Yrjola, Søren Sandmann Pedersen]

Please test this release throughly, especially if you are using
gradients in cairo or through the X11 Render extension. Bug reports
should either be sent to

	pixman at lists.freedesktop.org

or filed in the freedesktop bugzilla at 

	https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=pixman
	
If no major bugs are reported, this release will become 0.20.0.
