A new cairo release 0.9.0 is now available from:

This is a development release leading up to cairo 1.0.
The cairo 1.0 release will be source and binary compatible with the
cairo 0.9.x series. All API changes in cairo 0.9.x are finalized at
this point, and cairo 0.9.x should be considered API frozen. Barring
discovery of serious issues with the new APIs, no API changes are
anticipated between this release and the 1.0 release.
Have fun! And please report any problems against the cairo product at:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org
Notes on this release are included below.

Release 0.9.0 (2005-08-08 Carl Worth <cworth cworth org>)
=========================================================
API additions
-------------
* Add a new function call to set the current antialiasing mode in the
graphics state:
cairo_set_antialias
This call accepts the same modes recently added for font options
(NONE or GRAY) but affects the rendering of geometry other than
text. The intent of this call is to enable more precise control of
which pixels are affected by each operation, for example to allow
for full-scene antialiasing for seam-free rendering. It is not
expected that non-antialiased rendering will perform better than
anti-aliased rendering.
* Three new functions were added to provide support for mixed cairo-
and non-cairo drawing to the same surface:
cairo_surface_mark_dirty
cairo_surface_mark_dirty_rectangle
cairo_flush
* The return type of the several "reference" functions was change,
(API compatibly), from void to the same type as the argument. The
affected functions are:
cairo_font_face_reference
cairo_scaled_font_reference
cairo_pattern_reference
cairo_surface_reference
cairo_reference
This allows a convenient way to assign and reference in a single
statement.
cairo-win32
-----------
* Some portability improvements, (eg. workaround for missing stdint.h).
cairo-ft
--------
* Updated to allow compilation with older versions of freetype.
Bug fixes
---------
* Fix the unbounded operators to actually produce a correct result,
(previously the results were artificially restricted to the
bounding box of whatever shape was being drawn rather than
extending out infinitely). The fixed operators are:
CAIRO_OPERATOR_CLEAR
CAIRO_OPERATOR_SOURCE
CAIRO_OPERATOR_OUT
CAIRO_OPERATOR_IN
CAIRO_OPERATOR_DEST_IN
CAIRO_OPERATOR_DEST_ATOP
* Fix cairo_mask and cairo_mask_surface to transform the mask by the
current transformation matrix (CTM).
* Fix cairo_set_source to lock the CTM used to transform the pattern.
* Workaround for X server Render bug involving repeating patterns
with a general transformation matrix.
* cairo_get_font_face fixed to return a "nil" font face object rather
than NULL on error.
* cairo_set_font_face fixed to not crash if given a NULL font face,
(which is the documented interface for restoring the default font
face).
* Fix xlib glyphset caching to not try to free a NULL glyph.
