A new cairo release 1.8.4 is now available from: http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.8.4.tar.gz which can be verified with: http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.8.4.tar.gz.sha1 57fd2c7e0af16bee7cd53436d7c9dc526784f1da cairo-1.8.4.tar.gz http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.8.4.tar.gz.sha1.asc (signed by Carl Worth) Additionally, a git clone of the source tree: git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/cairo will include a signed 1.8.4 tag which points to a commit named: 66e8f142e381501d114888c2d1fc1e7f6d6a9857 which can be verified with: git verify-tag 1.8.4 and can be checked out with a command such as: git checkout -b build 1.8.4 The cairo community is pleased to announce the 1.8.4 release of the cairo graphics library. This is the second update to cairo's stable 1.8 series and contains a small number of bug fixes, (in particular a few fixes for build failures of cairo 1.8.2 on various systems). This is being released just over two weeks after cairo 1.8.2. We recommend that everyone using cairo upgrade to 1.8.4. -Carl Build fixes ----------- Fix build with older XRender that doesn't define RepeatNone: Build of xlib backend fails against old XRender (RepeatNone undeclared) https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18385 Fix build with bash version <= 3.0: doltlibtool broken on linux with bash 3.00.0 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18363 Bug fixes --------- Avoid triggering a bug in X.org server 6.9 resulting in a hung machine requiring a reboot: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15628#c2 Fix display of user fonts as exercised by proposed support for type3 fonts in poppler (unsigned promotion fixes): Use cairo user-font for Type 3 fonts http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler/2008-October/004181.html Avoid miscomputing size of fallback images required when rendering with CLEAR, IN, or SOURCE operator to vector surfaces, (PS, PDF, SVG, etc.). Be more tolerant of broken fonts when subsetting type1 fonts: Error handling in cairo_type1_font_subset_get_glyph_names_and_widths http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2008-October/015569.html Fix cairo_fill_extents, cairo_stroke_extents, cairo_path_extents, to correctly allow NULL parameters as documented. Fix potential crash on emitting a type3 glyph after having drawn text paths from the same font, (for example with cairo_text_path). All changes from cairo 1.8.2 to 1.8.4 ------------------------------------- Adrian Johnson (1): type1-subset: return unsupported on FT errors Behdad Esfahbod (2): [aclocal.dolt.m4] Fix build with bash versions <= 3.0 (bug #18363) Define RepeatNone, etc if the available Render version doesn't (#18385) Carl Worth (5): Increment version to 1.8.3 after the 1.8.2 release. Document the buggy_repeat workaround more carefully. Blacklist "X.Org" < 7.0 with the buggy_repeat workaround. NEWS: Add notes for cairo 1.8.4 Increment version to 1.8.4 Chris Wilson (7): [gstate] Allocate temporary variable for backend_to_user transform. [pattern] Allow the projected surface extents to be negative. [rectangle] Fix unsigned promotion whilst computing intersect. Review users of cairo_rectangle_int_t for incorrect unsigned promotion. [analysis] Only limit to mask extends if bounded by mask. [test] Remove XFAIL from user-font-mask [scaled-font] Fix typo that prevented meta_surface lookup.
