 # cairo 1.10 (July 2009? Look at Mozilla 3.2 schedule)
 
+ ✓ Scan line polygon rasterisation, aka spans. (sanooj)
+   Currently only fills are supported, stroke is waiting for stroke-to-path
+   support.
+
+ ✓ Give backends access to raw jpeg data and use this in e.g. in PDF/PS/Win32-printing backends to
+   embed jpeg images without lossy recompression (adrianj)
+   (see long thread starting with
+   <http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cairo/2007-January/009096.html>)
+
+ • mime-surface (ickle)
+   A convenience surface for lazily decoding compressed image data.
+
+ ✓ Various debugging utilities - integration of cairo-trace, cairo-script and
+   sphinx. (ickle)
+   Sphinx is still WIP, and will remain an external utility.
+
+ • Avoid re-embedding the same image in the PDF backend, aka snapshot-cow (cworth)
+
+ • Debug environment variable to [disable PDF compression][] (ickle)
+
+   In the meantime, a useful workaround is to use pdftk to
+   post-process the document to remove the compression:
+
+	pdftk original.pdf output new.pdf uncompress
+
+   Or use podofo’s uncompress utility:
+
+	podofouncompress original.pdf new.pdf
