Remove cairo.def from the generated tar file. It's not useful there.

-cairo 1.0.4? bug fixes (I don't know if this release will be needed
-or not, but I wanted a place to lodge a bug that slipped from 1.0.2
-===================================================================
-For each bug number XXXX below, see:
-https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=XXXX
- 4630 Fonts too large when drawing to image surface while printing
- 4863 stroking problems with wide dashed lines
+This is the cairo roadmap.
-cairo 1.2.0 essential features (targeted for 2006-03-08)
-The release won't happen without these being complete.
-========================================================
- A. PS backend
- ----------
- ✓1. Mark PS backend as supported:
+Everything here is subject to change, but it is hoped that all of it
+will be useful. If you want to influence, please feel free to get
+involved with cairo (see http://cairographics.org ).
+
+The intent is for this to be a living document. We want both the users
+of cairo, (GTK+, GNOME, Mozilla, Mono, etc. etc.) to let us know
+features they need and dates by which they are needed so that we can
+use those to guide our plans.
+
+Additionally, people who are actively developing cairo itself should
+regularly update this document to reflect their current plans. If you
+don't want to see a particular release happen without some essential
+feature, then put that feature on the list and put your name next to
+it to indicate you are working on it.
+
+Targets
+=======
+GTK+ 2.10 - http://www.gtk.org/plan/2.10/
+------------------------------------------
+The 2.10 release is scheduled for May 2006, (to be in time for GNOME 2.16).
+
+Satisfying GTK+ 2.10 well requires releasing cairo 1.2 with good
+printing support, (good PS/PDF output, per-page sizing and layout,
+etc.) sometime in April 2006.
+
+
+Firefox 3.0 - http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/roadmap.html
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+Firefox 3 (scheduled for early 2007?) is the first release expected to
+use cairo for all rendering. In the meantime, development builds using
+cairo are available
+
+Satisfying firefox 3 well requiring releasing new versions of cairo in
+2006 that incorporate the patches coming from mozilla, (device offset,
+push/pop_group), and much-improved performance.
+
+Themes and Schedules
+====================
+cairo-1.2 (April 2006): Better printing
+ - Supported PS/PDF output
+ - New, printing-oriented API
+ - Mozilla patches? (device offset, push/pop_group)
+
+cairo-1.x (December 2006): Better performance
+ - New tessellator
+ - New rasterization
+ - Mozilla patches
+
+And there is room for other releases between those as needed. Once the
+mozilla patches land, we don't really have a lot of new API on the
+roadmap so it's hard to know whether any other releases would be 1.4
+vs. 1.2.2, etc.
+cairo 1.2.0 essential features
+We don't expect to release without these being complete.

- 2. mac compilation fix for cairo-atsui-font.c for 10.2 SDK (maybe should
- be upstream?)

-
[There is some mailing-list discussion about possible fixes
for these.]
- D. Bug fixes
- ---------
- ✓1. Fix dashed splines.

2. Fix some expected failures (XFAIL) in the test suite
-
a. a8-mask
-
✓b. clip-all
-
c. filter-nearest-offset
-
d. pixman-rotate
-
e. extend-reflect
- E. API Additions
- -------------
- 1. cairo_begin/end/get_group
- Status: cworth has a posted a preliminary patch, and keithp,
- krh, and otaylor answered all the tough questions it
- raised. There's not much work left to finish this one.
- Vladimir Vukicevic has taken up the torch on this and
- has posted an almost-complete set of patches.
-
- 2. The pango developers need one or two additions in order to
- implement pango's hex-box drawing.
-
- 5496 Add getters for cairo_scaled_font_t
- - This looks trivial, and is maybe "enough" for an ugly
- solution in pango.
-
- 5495 Need cairo_scaled_font_text_extents
- - I think I would actually prefer to add
- cairo_text_to_glyphs for this fix.
-

+ Performance improvements
1. Cull and trim trapezoids outside clip region bounds
-
2. Generate more large pixel-aligned, rectangular trapezoids
