+	Subject: cairo snapshot 1.9.10 now available
+
+        A new cairo snapshot 1.9.10 is now available from:
+
+	        http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.9.10.tar.gz
+
+            which can be verified with:
+
+	        http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.9.10.tar.gz.sha1
+	        17062d7562d763234551e9e07be7c4c51686306f  cairo-1.9.10.tar.gz
+
+	        http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.9.10.tar.gz.sha1.asc
+	        (signed by Chris Wilson)
+
+          Additionally, a git clone of the source tree:
+
+	        git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/cairo
+
+            will include a signed 1.9.10 tag which points to a commit named:
+	        0f1ff0daab7259ec16076f788760da4f35cb0cdc
+
+            which can be verified with:
+	        git verify-tag 1.9.10
+
+            and can be checked out with a command such as:
+	        git checkout -b build 1.9.10
+
+
+        The first "quick" snapshot in the run up to the stable release.  The
+        last snapshot was picked up by the bleeding edge distributions and so the
+        bug reports have to started to roll in.  The most frequent of these are the
+        introduction of rendering errors by applications that modify a surface
+        without subsequently calling cairo_surface_mark_dirty(). Make sure the
+        application developers are aware of increased reliance on strict use of the
+        Cairo API before 1.10 is released!
+
+        The usual slew of bugs reported and we would like to thank Zoxc for
+        contributing the WGL interface for cairo-gl, and finding more build
+        failures on win32.  And it just wouldn't be a 1.9 snapshot unless
+        Benjamin Otte improved the error handling within cairo-gl, as well as
+        isolating and fixing some more errors in the test suite. The biggest bug of
+        the snapshot turned out to be a major sign extension issue that had lain
+        hidden for many years and was suddenly exposed by incorrectly rounding
+        rectangles when performing non-antialiased rendering.  Also to the relief
+        of many we have included the downstream patch to honour the user's LCD
+        filtering preferences for subpixel rendering of fonts.  The interface
+        remains private for the time being, whilst the proposed public API is
+        finalized.
