> ====================================================================
> Hard to believe it's been over a year since our last release, but it's
> not for lack of activity. This release includes contributions of a wide
> assortment of bug fixes, build system improvements, warnings cleanups,
> codebase refactoring, test suite repairs, and static analysis work.
>
> This release is lighter on features (compared with 1.12.10) but includes
> a highly demanded rehaul of our image downscaling functionality, which
> solves a serious problem experienced by Inkscape users when shrinking
> embedded bitmaps in SVG files. The new scaling algorithms are used by
> the image backend and by other backends as needed for fallbacks.
>
>
> Features
> --------
>
> Filtering improvements for the image backend, in particular
> down-scaling of images produces filtered images that depend on all the
> pixels of the source. When using the image backend you get the
> following settings:
>
> CAIRO_FILTER_GOOD: uses a box filter for scales less than .75 in
> either direction. For scales larger than this, the same filter as
> CAIRO_FILTER_BILINEAR is used.
>
> CAIRO_FILTER_BEST: uses a Catmull-Rom filter always. When upscaling
> more than 2x this will produce anti-aliased square pixels, similar
> to OS/X.
>
> CAIRO_FILTER_GAUSSIAN: uses PIXMAN_FILTER_BEST, which in current
> pixman is the same as BILINEAR. (This is subject to change in the
> future).
>
> xlib and xcb also use the image fallback for GOOD/BEST filters, but
> note that other backends do not implement these filtering fixes yet,
> however other actions may cause them to use an image fallback which
> will cause these filters to be used.
>
> Improve handling of device transformation and scaling, allowing Cairo
> to now support scaling at a device level, permitting easier, more
> transparent HiDPI support.
>
> Support JBIG2 mime data in PDF. This allows embedding of more
> compressed JPEG formats within PDF, rather than including the full
> uncompressed image. Also, reduce the number of transparency groups
> used by PDF to keep the file size small and viewing/printing of the
> PDF fast.
>
> Expand the embedding section to include stencil mask support.
>
> Reorder font declarations to be in natural order.
>
> Update the Skia backend to build against current Skia (as of June
> 2014).
>
> Drop Link-Time Optimization (LTO) support from build system. This
> seems to have caused much trouble for unclear benefit, and most
> distros are reverting or disabling it anyway.
>
> Optimize VBO size on GL to 1M and to 16k for EGL. This improves
> (theoretical) performance for desktop GLX use cases while avoiding
> hitting VBO memory size limitations on embedded devices.
>
> API Changes
> -----------
>
> cairo_surface_set_device_scale, cairo_surface_get_device_scale:
>
> Sets a scale that is multiplied to the device coordinates
> determined by the CTM when drawing to @surface. One common use for
> this is to render to very high resolution display devices at a scale
> factor, so that code that assumes 1 pixel will be a certain size
> will still work.
>
> cairo_egl_device_get_display, cairo_egl_device_get_context:
>
> Support get/set of EGLContext and EGLDisplay for egl-based cairo
> devices, similar to GLX.
>
> Dependency Changes
> ------------------
>
> Cairo now requires glib 2.14 for its gobject helper functions,
> and pixman 0.30 for downscaling.
>
>
> Bug fixes
> ---------
>

>
> Fix tests to place output in proper location.
>
> Fix determination of alpha for all surfaces when recording.
>

> Cairo - Multi-platform 2D graphics library
> http://cairographics.org
>
> What is cairo
> =============
> Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output
> devices. Currently supported output targets include the X Window
> System (via both Xlib and XCB), quartz, win32, and image buffers,
> as well as PDF, PostScript, and SVG file output. Experimental backends
> include OpenGL, 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.
