+
+	A new cairo release 1.12.4 is now available from:
+
+		http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.12.4.tar.xz
+
+	    which can be verified with:
+
+		http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.12.4.tar.xz.sha1
+		f4158981ed01e73c94fb8072074b17feee61a68b  cairo-1.12.4.tar.xz

+
+	  Additionally, a git clone of the source tree:
+
+		git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/cairo
+
+	    will include a signed 1.12.4 tag which points to a commit named:
+		117abd85ac7ff41e484fe0d98f16704ec30abd09

+
+	Release 1.12.4 (2012-10-05 Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk>)
+	===================================================================
+	More bugs, and more importantly, more fixes. On the cairo-gl side, we
+	have refinements to the MSAA compositor which enables hardware
+	acceleration of comparitively low-quality antialiasing - which is useful
+	in animations and on very high density screens. For cairo-xlib, we have
+	finally enabled SHM transport for image transfers to and from the X
+	server. A long standing required feature, SHM transport offers a notable
+	reduction in rendering latency by reducing the number of copies
+	required to upload image data - given hardware and driver support,
+	cairo-xlib can now perform zero copy uploads onto the GPU. And as usual
+	Adrian Johnson has been very busy fixing many different corner cases in
+	cairo-pdf, impoving opacity groups and font subsetting. Last, but not
+	least, for cairo-image S=F8ren Sandmann Pedersen added support for
+	rendering glyphs to pixman and using that from within cairo. The new
+	glyph rendering facility reduces the overhead for setting up the
+	compositing operation, improving glyph thoughput for the image backend
+	by a factor of about 4. And before he did so, he also fixed up a few
+	bugs in the existing glyph rendering code. So many thanks to Andrea
+	Canciani, Adrian Johnson, Chuanbo Weng, Dongyeon Kim, Henry Song, Martin
+	Robinson, S=F8ren Sandmann Pedersen and Uli Schlachter for their
+	contributions, finding and fixing bugs.
