A new cairo snapshot 1.5.8 is now available from:
http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.5.8.tar.gz
which can be verified with:

(signed by Carl Worth)
Additionally, a git clone of the source tree:
git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/cairo
will include a signed 1.5.8 tag which points to a commit named:
4ccb8cb29546432858e778e1b88cada1327f6f45
which can be verified with:
git verify-tag 1.5.8
and can be checked out with a command such as:
git checkout -b build 1.5.8
This is the fourth snapshot in cairo's unstable 1.5 series. It comes 2
weeks after the 1.5.6 snapshot. It adds a few new API functions. Most
notably all callers of cairo_image_surface_create_for_data should now
be calling cairo_format_stride_for_width to compute a legal stride
value.
With this snapshot we are getting extrmely close to a final 1.6.0
release. We would appreciate as much testing as possible so that we
can eliminate bugs before that release rather than after. So give this
snapshot a try and let us know how things go for you.
And have fun with cairo!

Changes in cairo 1.5.8 since 1.5.6
==================================
New API in cairo 1.5.8
----------------------
We've added a new function that should be called to compute a legal
stride value before allocating data to be used with
cairo_image_surface_create_for_data:
int
cairo_format_stride_for_width (cairo_format_t format,
int width);
We've also added a new cairo_path_extents function that can be used to
compute a bounding box for geometry such as a single line segment,
(contrast with cairo_path_extents and cairo_stroke_extents):
void
cairo_path_extents (cairo_t *cr,
double *x1, double *y1,
double *x2, double *y2);
And finally, we've added a function to allow for querying the
XRenderPictFormat of a cairo-xlib surface:
XRenderPictFormat *
cairo_xlib_surface_get_xrender_format (cairo_surface_t *surface);
API changes
-----------
Fix return types of cairo_surface_show_page and
cairo_surface_copy_page. This is an API change to functions that are
new in the 1.5 series, so not an API break compared to any stable
cairo release, (1.0.x, 1.2.x, 1.4.x).
Change the return type of cairo_get_current_point() from void to
cairo_status_t. This allows the caller to receive a
CAIRO_STATUS_NO_CURRENT_POINT value to distinguish the a current point
at the origin from no current point existing.
Performance improvement
-----------------------
Improve performance of clipping by using an optimized code path
internally, (with the ADD operator instead of IN).
General bug fixes
-----------------
Fix various cairo_*_extents functions to initialize the return-value
variables even in the case of a cairo_t in error.
Treat NULL as a legitimate value for cairo_font_options_t*. [XXX: On
discussion afterwards, we decided against this change so we plan to
remove this again before 1.6.0]
Fix rendering with CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_NONE to be more predictable, (that
is, to avoid seams appearing when geometry and imagery share an
identical edge). Portions of this fix are in the pixman library and
will appear in a future release of that library.
Avoid triggering an error for a font size of 0.
Miscellaneous changes
---------------------
Require pixman >= 0.9.6.
There has been a tremendous amount improvement to cairo's
documentation. We're delighted that 100% of the public API has at
least some documentation in the API reference manual. Many thanks to
Behdad Esfahbod and Nis Martensen for leading this effort.
cairo-pdf and cairo-ps
----------------------
Eliminate failure when a Type 1 font is embedded with an explicit
glyph 0.
cairo-pdf
---------
Implement a more correct and more efficient approach for patterns with
an extend mode of CAIRO_EXTEND_REFLECT.
cairo-ps
--------
Fix image masks to properly pack and pad mask bits.
cairo-quartz
------------
Take care to only use DrawTiledImage for integer-aligned images, (and
use slower paths to get the correct result in other cases).
cairo-win32
-----------
Fix for older versions of mingw.
Improve the handling of the clipping with the win32 and win32-printing
surfaces.
Fix rendering of non black/white text.
What is cairo
=============
Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output
devices. Currently supported output targets include the X Window
System, win32, and image buffers, as well as PDF, PostScript, and SVG
file output. Experimental backends include OpenGL (through glitz),
Quartz, XCB, BeOS, OS/2, and DirectFB.
Cairo is designed to produce consistent output on all output media
while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when available
(for example, through the X Render Extension).
The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of
PostScript and PDF. Operations in cairo include stroking and filling
cubic Bézier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images,
and antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be
transformed by any affine transformation (scale, rotation, shear,
etc.).
Cairo has been designed to let you draw anything you want in a modern
2D graphical user interface. At the same time, the cairo API has been
designed to be as fun and easy to learn as possible. If you're not
having fun while programming with cairo, then we have failed
somewhere---let us know and we'll try to fix it next time around.
Cairo is free software and is available to be redistributed and/or
modified under the terms of either the GNU Lesser General Public
License (LGPL) version 2.1 or the Mozilla Public License (MPL) version
1.1.
