# cairo 1.10 (July 2009? Look at Mozilla 3.2 schedule)
+ â Scan line polygon rasterisation, aka spans. (sanooj)
+ Currently only fills are supported, stroke is waiting for stroke-to-path
+ support.
+
+ â 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.
+
+ â 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 podofoâs uncompress utility:
+
+ podofouncompress original.pdf new.pdf
