Release 1.14.2 (2014-03-09 Bryce Harrington <bryce osg samsung com>)
====================================================================
This release provides collected bug fixes, along with one feature
enhancement for the xcb backend, and a small performance improvement for
fonts.

The running theme of the bug fixes is platform-specific issues, both
build and run-time.  Platforms with fixes include Sparc, AIX, Windows
(mingw), and Windows (MSVC8).  Memory leaks, valgrind issues, and PDF
issues round out our list.

It's come to light that changes in cairo 1.14 resulted in breakage on
MacOS X 10.4.  We've not yet determined whether to fix up the support,
or excise the 10.4-specific code and support only OS X 10.5 or newer.
Meantime, we'll only advertise cairo as working on OS X 10.5.

Features
--------
 * Improve xcb's handling of per-screen subpixel ordering.  If no
   Xft.rgba property is specified, default to the screen's subpixel
   order.

API Changes
-----------
None

Dependency Changes
------------------
None

Performance Optimizations
-------------------------
 * Improve performance of cpu_to_be32 and be32_to_cpu, making truetype
   subsetting of large fonts run about 15% faster.

Bug Fixes
---------
 * Fix unaligned access on sparc with the compact font format (CFF).
   Unlike truetype, all data in CFF is not aligned.
   (Debian bug #712836)
 * Fix unaligned access on sparc with tor-scan-converter's memory pool.
 * Fix crash when loading a PDF with a transformed image.
   (fdo bug #85151)
 * Fix regression on mingw for bigendian test due to removal of file
   extension for executables.
   (fdo bug #85120)
 * Fix handling of backslash in PDF interpreter
   (fdo bug #85662)
 * Fix crash in xlib and xcb renderers when swapping a 0-sized glyph
 * Fix bug with RTL text in PDF operators
   (fdo bug #86461)
 * Fix compilation 'cairo-path-stroke-traps.c' with MSVC8
   (fdo bug #84908)
 * Fix crash in _fill_xrgb32_lerp_opaque_spans when a span length is
   negative.
 * Fix valgrind error by releasing pattern created by
   cairo_pattern_create_rgb().
 * Fix valgrind errors when running cairo-test-suite.
 * Fix memory leak in recording surface replays
   (fdo bug #87898)
 * Fix destruction of fonts in api-special-cases test.
   (fdo bug #87567)
 * Fix duplicated surface push on similar-image, preventing trivial GTK3
   program traces from being replayable, with an error message about
   invalid values for the size of the input.
   (fdo bug #73580)
 * Fix crash when win32 surface's image size does not cover the entire
   surface.
   (fdo bug #53121)
 * Fix crash due to obsolete CGFontGetGlyphPath call
   (fdo bug #84324)
 * Fix several build issues on AIX
   (fdo bugs #89338, #89340, #89356, #89354)
 * Fix various documentation warnings and errors


What is cairo
=============
Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output
devices. Currently supported output targets include the X Window
System (via both Xlib and XCB), quartz, win32, and image buffers,
as well as PDF, PostScript, and SVG file output. Experimental backends
include OpenGL, 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.
