Additionally, a git clone of the source tree:
git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/cairo
will include a signed 1.2.4 tag which points to a commit named:
54755b2d9891981d813384bccde84998def96abf
which can be verified with:
git verify-tag 1.2.4
and can be checked out with a command such as:
git checkout -b build 1.2.4
This is the second bug fix release in the 1.2 series, coming less than
two weeks after the 1.2.2 release made on August 8.
The big motivation for a quick release was that there were a log of
build system snags that people ran into with the 1.2.2 release. But,
by the time we got those all done, we found that we had a bunch of
fixes for cairo's rendering as well. So there's a lot of goodness in
here for such a short time period.
As always, have lots of fun with cairo everybody!
-Carl
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, 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 including 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.
