+	Release 1.12.6 (2012-10-22 Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk>)
+	===================================================================
+	Thanks to everyone who download cairo-1.12.4 and gave us their feedback.
+	It truly was invaluable and has helped us to fix many portability issues
+	that crept in with some of the new features. This release aims to fix
+	those stability issues and run on a wider range of systems.
+	-Chris
+
+	Bug fixes
+	---------
+
+	  Fix the recording surface to actually snapshot the source and so fix
+	  PDF drawing.
+
+	  Calling XSendEvent with an XShmCompletionEvent is incompatabile with
+	  older Xorg servers.
+
+	  Reorder CloseDisplay chain so that XShm is not reinstantiated after
+	  shutdown, causing a potential crash if the Display was immediately
+	  recreated using the same memory address.
+
+	  Make sure that the Xserver has attached to the SHM segment before
+	  deleting it from the global namespace on systems that do not support
+	  deferred deletion.
+
+	  Type1 subsetting support for PDF (and PS) was once again improved to
+	  work with a larger number of PDF readers.
+
+	  GLESv2 build fixes and improved support for embedded GPUs.
+
+	  Tweak the invisible pen detection for applications that are currently
+	  using too large values for geometric tolerance.
+
+	  A build fix for older freetype libraries.
