[cairo-announce] [ANNOUNCE] pixman 0.21.8 now available

[Soeren Sandmann]

A new pixman release 0.21.8 is now available. This is a release
candidate for a stable 0.22.0 release.

News:
    - New image formats r8g8b8a8 and r8g8b8x8 [Alexandros Frantzis]
    - Better support for the MSVC compiler [Andrea Canciani]
    - Much faster image scaling on ARM [Siarhei Siamashka, Taekyun Kim]
    - Bug fixes and other improvements [Gilles Espinasse, Siarhei, Søren Sandmann]

Note: When this version of pixman is used with the git version of the X
server, trapezoid rendering will be corrupted. This is a known bug in
the X server.
