Hi Bruce,
Yes, that's correct. The scheme Cairo has used is documented here:
https://www.cairographics.org/manual/cairo-Version-Information.html
There's also some procedural docs on how releases are done in the
RELEASING file.
I haven't been involved in cairomm releases; they may well be using a
different release versioning strategy.

There is no formally published schedule.
