Bump PKGREVISION to nb3. Despite only 35 minutes passed between the
PKGREVISION++ and PKGREVISION-- at least a bulk builder catched it leading to
failures of building x11/gtk3. Bump it to nb3 in order to be on the safest
side.
Thanks to <jperkin> and <joerg>! (Possible further regressions are mine though!)

Release 1.14.0 (2014-10-13 Bryce Harrington <bryce@osg.samsung.com>)
====================================================================
Hard to believe it's been over a year since our last release, but it's
not for lack of activity. This release includes contributions of a wide
assortment of bug fixes, build system improvements, warnings cleanups,
codebase refactoring, test suite repairs, and static analysis work.
This release is lighter on features (compared with 1.12.10) but includes
a highly demanded rehaul of our image downscaling functionality, which
solves a serious problem experienced by Inkscape users when shrinking
embedded bitmaps in SVG files. The new scaling algorithms are used by
the image backend and by other backends as needed for fallbacks.
Features
--------
Filtering improvements for the image backend, in particular
down-scaling of images produces filtered images that depend on all the
pixels of the source. When using the image backend you get the
following settings:
CAIRO_FILTER_GOOD: uses a box filter for scales less than .75 in
either direction. For scales larger than this, the same filter as
CAIRO_FILTER_BILINEAR is used.
CAIRO_FILTER_BEST: uses a Catmull-Rom filter always. When upscaling
more than 2x this will produce anti-aliased square pixels, similar
to OS/X.
CAIRO_FILTER_GAUSSIAN: uses PIXMAN_FILTER_BEST, which in current
pixman is the same as BILINEAR. (This is subject to change in the
future).
xlib and xcb also use the image fallback for GOOD/BEST filters, but
note that other backends do not implement these filtering fixes yet,
however other actions may cause them to use an image fallback which
will cause these filters to be used.
Improve handling of device transformation and scaling, allowing Cairo
to now support scaling at a device level, permitting easier, more
transparent HiDPI support.
Support JBIG2 mime data in PDF. This allows embedding of more
compressed JPEG formats within PDF, rather than including the full
uncompressed image. Also, reduce the number of transparency groups
used by PDF to keep the file size small and viewing/printing of the
PDF fast.
Expand the embedding section to include stencil mask support.
Reorder font declarations to be in natural order.
Update the Skia backend to build against current Skia (as of June
2014).
Drop Link-Time Optimization (LTO) support from build system. This
seems to have caused much trouble for unclear benefit, and most
distros are reverting or disabling it anyway.
Optimize VBO size on GL to 1M and to 16k for EGL. This improves
(theoretical) performance for desktop GLX use cases while avoiding
hitting VBO memory size limitations on embedded devices.
API Changes
-----------
cairo_surface_set_device_scale, cairo_surface_get_device_scale:
Sets a scale that is multiplied to the device coordinates
determined by the CTM when drawing to @surface. One common use for
this is to render to very high resolution display devices at a scale
factor, so that code that assumes 1 pixel will be a certain size
will still work.
cairo_egl_device_get_display, cairo_egl_device_get_context:
Support get/set of EGLContext and EGLDisplay for egl-based cairo
devices, similar to GLX.
Dependency Changes
------------------
Cairo now requires glib 2.14 for its gobject helper functions,
and pixman 0.30 for downscaling.
Bug fixes
---------
Don't embed CMYK Jpeg images in svg.
Fix tests to place output in proper location.
Fix determination of alpha for all surfaces when recording.
Extend oversize check to cairo_gl_surface_create_for_texture, so an
error surface is returned if the texture is too large to render to.
Fix embedding of mime data in PDF and PS files.
Remove useless error handling in *_reply() functions in XCB.
Fix a double-free exposed by multithreaded apps creating and
destroying the same font concurrently.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69470
Fix corrupt stacks produced by bugs in operand emission for trace.
Fix out of bounds array access in format cache for xlib
Don't rename glyphs used by seac operator. This can cause certain
combined characters to use their decorations (e.g. umlauts on ö) to be
lost during printing of PDFs using evince.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70364
Fix crash on calling cairo_create with a finished surface
Fix SSIZE_T definition problem when making with MSYS on Windows7
Fix one off issue in gl context cleanup
Fix usage of CAIRO_STACK_ARRAY_LENGTH
Fix rectangle stroke with non rectilinear pen
Fix imagemask with pattern source failure on some printers. This bug
could cause files converted using pdftops to fail for example on Ricoh
printers, or opening in Adobe Distiller on Windows.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69485
Fix whitespace in font names
Fix page size in generated PDFs. When printing using pdftocairo on
larger page sizes, such as 11x17, the image would be cropped to letter
size.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73452
Fix path-currentpoint test by preserving current-point in
copy_path()/append_path() sequence
Fix generation of HTML in code docs for
cairo-format-stride-for-width. Raw HTML code was being passed
to the browser, instead of displaying normally.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63257
Fix spelling of "tessellator" throughout code. We're using the
American rather than British spelling of this word.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50411
Fix crash in pixman_image_composite32
Fix crash when trying to modify a (const) all-clipped cairo_clip_t
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75819
Add check_composite method to all compositors, to fix crashes in the
test suite.
Fix crash in Firefox when scrolling on certain pages.
Fix memory leaks found by static analysis.
Fix build of any2ppm if fork is not available.
Fix broken build for Qt backend, due to missing libstdc++.
Fix typo in two cairo_uint128 functions. Fixes potential build issues
on systems without a uint128 type.
Fix build when --enable-pdf=no
Fix cache_frozen assertions for Win32 print.
Correctly check for xcb image surface for inplace upload
Fix webkit-based web browser crashes due to empty boxes by skipping
over them when tesselating.
Make pixman, libpng, and zlib paths commandline configurable for win32
builds.
Fix image scale on Win32 when GDI scale is not identity.
Fix float endian configure test when using clang -O4
Fix compilation with Android bionic libc
Don't try to build util/sphinx on Windows
Fix loss of precision when emitting joins. This was caused by
discrepancies in line gradients when passing trapezoids around.
Fix loss of precision and associated rendering issues in
cairo-tor-scan-converter from projection onto sample grid.
Fix pixman oversampling of neighbouring edges within a cell by
eliminating self-intersections for the pixman traps compositor.
Fix multi-line string splitting in PDFs
Various cleanups and fixes to warnings, documentation, tests, and
build system. Improve error handling and return value checks.
Cleanup XFAIL tests and reference images. Cover recently added
functionality.
Bug fixes
* Set the correct orientation for simple boxes with a negative scale factor.

* Stop leaking the image data when loading PNGs
* Fix unbounded operations with a clip mask through the span compositor
* Add missing checks before rendering to a finished surface - so we return
an error rather than hit an assert.

than supported by hardware.
* Prevent a double free of a similar image under Windows.
to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.

Release 1.12.14 (2013-02-10 Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>)
====================================================================
In the last week we had a few more bugs reported and promptly resolved.
As these are a combination of regressions and stability issues, it is
time for a prompt update and release. Many thanks to everyone for
testing and reporting issues, and helping to make Cairo better.
Bug fixes
---------
Prevent user callbacks accessing user-data during destroy to prevent
use-after-free bugs.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722975
Use standard names for glyphs in subset fonts (PDF).
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60248
Fix detection of Win98. The logic for detecting Win98 (and its broken
AlphaBlend()) was inverted, disabling AlphaBlend() for everyone.
Prevent numeric overflow from extrapolating polygon edges to the clip
boundary and causing severe render artifacts.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60489
Fix computation of glyph string coordinates when breaking up runs
for xlib.
Fix an assertion in the win32 backend for failing to clear its
similar-images.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60519
Release 1.12.4 (2012-10-05 Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>)
===================================================================
More bugs, and more importantly, more fixes. On the cairo-gl side, we
have refinements to the MSAA compositor which enables hardware
acceleration of comparitively low-quality antialiasing - which is useful
in animations and on very high density screens. For cairo-xlib, we have
finally enabled SHM transport for image transfers to and from the X
server. A long standing required feature, SHM transport offers a notable
reduction in rendering latency by reducing the number of copies
required to upload image data - given hardware and driver support,
cairo-xlib can now perform zero copy uploads onto the GPU. And as usual
Adrian Johnson has been very busy fixing many different corner cases in
cairo-pdf, impoving opacity groups and font subsetting. Last, but not
least, for cairo-image Søren Sandmann Pedersen added support for
rendering glyphs to pixman and using that from within cairo. The new
glyph rendering facility reduces the overhead for setting up the
compositing operation, improving glyph thoughput for the image backend
by a factor of about 4. And before he did so, he also fixed up a few
bugs in the existing glyph rendering code. So many thanks to Andrea
Canciani, Adrian Johnson, Chuanbo Weng, Dongyeon Kim, Henry Song, Martin
Robinson, Søren Sandmann Pedersen and Uli Schlachter for their
contributions, finding and fixing bugs.

test base. Thanks to everybody who tried the release, apologies to any one
unfortunate enough to encounter a bug and many thanks for reporting it.
