A new cairo snapshot 1.5.6 is now available from:
http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.5.6.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 1.5.6 tag which points to a commit named:
d2a02d4f5ccb1c6dc7f8cca0c322b72f1638d25b
which can be verified with:
git verify-tag 1.5.6
and can be checked out with a command such as:
git checkout -b build 1.5.6
This is the third snapshot in cairo's unstable 1.5 series. It comes
about 6 weeks after the 1.5.4 snapshot. The only API addition compared
to 1.5.4 is very minor, (a new value CAIRO_STATUS_TEMP_FILE_ERROR).
The remainder of the changes are the usual accumulation of bug fixes
and improvements. See below for details.
We still have a few important fixes we'd like to finish up before we
make a 1.6.0 release. These include some long-standing failures, (like
running cairo with goofy X server visuals, or targeting alpha masks
with non-multiple-of-4-byte strides). Though, interestingly, a lot of
the work for those things will be in pixman not cairo.
But we'll be putting forth a renewed effort to try to get 1.6 ready by
the end of January, (some of us want to be able to relax at LCA). We
also expect that the Mozilla project will soon contribute any patches
that they want to see in cairo 1.6.
Have fun with cairo, everybody!

Summary of changes from cairo 1.5.4 to cairo 1.5.6
==================================================
General bug fixes
-----------------
Fix handling of fonts that contain a mixture of outline and bitmapped
glyphs. There was a change in this handling in 1.5.4 that improved
some cases and also regressed other cases. Now, all cases should be
handled quite well.
Fix alignment issues that were causing SIGBUS failures on SPARC.
Fix a regression (which first appeared in 1.5.2) where stroking under
a large scale would sometimes incorrectly replace a miter join with a
bevel join. (Thanks to Keith Packard.)
Fix reporting of zero-sized extents to be {0,0} rather than
{INT_MAX,INT_MIN}. This avoids several integer overflow and
allocations of massive regions in some cases.
Fix failures of gradients with no stops, (quartz, ps, and pdf).
Fix handling of Type 1 fonts on Windows platforms.
Fix handling of Type 1 fonts with no specific family name in the font
itself, (generate a CairoFont-x-y name).
Handle NULL string values in cairo_show_text, cairo_show_glyphs, and
friends.
Many robustness improvements along error-handling paths, (thanks as
always, to Chris "ickle" Wilson).
Various other minor fixes.
Paginated backends (PDF/PostScript/win32-printing)
--------------------------------------------------
Avoid unnecessary rasterization when using a paginated surface as a
source, (such as drawing from one pdf surface to another).
Fix replaying of paginated surface with more than one level of push/pop
group.
cairo-xlib
----------
Fix xlib backend to not consider recent X server release as having a
buggy repeat implementation in the Render extension.
cairo-pdf
---------
Fix PDF output to avoid triggering very slow rendering in PDF viewers,
(avoid starting and stopping the content stream for each pattern
emission).
Support CAIRO_OPERATOR_SOURCE in cases where there is nothing below
the object being drawn.
Fix to avoid seams appearing between multiple fallback regions.
cairo-ps (PostScript)
---------------------
Use correct bounding box in Type 3 fonts.
Fix several bugs in cairo's PostScript output. These include making
the PostScript output more compatible with recent versions of
ghostscript that are more strict about Type 3 fonts, for
example.
Fix for win32 to not attempt to create temporary files in the root
directory, (where the user may not have write permission).
Avoid generating Level 3 PostScript if Level 2 is sufficient. Also,
add code in output documents to alert the user if Level 3 PostScript
is handed to a device that cannot handle PostScript beyond Level
2.
cairo-directfb
--------------
Various performance optimizations.
Fixed support for small surfaces (less than 8x8).
Provide support for environment variables CAIRO_DIRECTFB_NO_ACCEL to
disable acceleration and CAIRO_DIRECTFB_ARGB_FONT to enable ARGB fonts
instead of A8.
cairo-os2
---------
Allow OS/2 APIs instead of C library allocation functions.
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.
