* Fix assertion hit with PDFs using Type 4 fonts rendered with user
fonts, due to error when destroying glyph page.
* Fix build error with util/font-view
* Fix handling of truetype fonts with excessively long font names
* Fix falling back to system font with PDFs using certain embedded
fonts, due to truncated font names.
* Fix sigabrt printing documents with fonts lacking the mandatory .nodef
glyph.
* Fix undefined-behavior with integer math.
* Fix various warnings and typos
Unsorted entries in PLIST files have generated a pkglint warning for at
least 12 years. Somewhat more recently, pkglint has learned to sort
PLIST files automatically. Since pkglint 5.4.23, the sorting is only
done in obvious, simple cases. These have been applied by running:
pkglint -Cnone,PLIST -Wnone,plist-sort -r -F

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

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.
Quartz backend interacts badly with our library stack. The most notable
issue is that when quartz-font is enabled, cairo will never use fontconfig
but instead uses CoreGraphics API to find fonts in system-default font
paths; as a result, any fonts installed with pkgsrc will never be found.
OTOH fontconfig by default searches for fonts in MacOS X system-default
paths too so sticking with it will not cause a problem.
Bug fixes
* Set the correct orientation for simple boxes with a negative scale factor.
* Fix the creation of the shading dictionary in PDF.
* Fix a crash in PDF when incorporating an image with CAIRO_EXTEND_PAD.
* Avoid upscaling bitmap fonts if possible.
* Fix an assertion failure within the mempool allocator for shared memory.
* Fix allocation size for CFF subsets.
* Export cairo_matrix_t for GObject bindings.
* Fix a double free in the Quartz backend.
* Fix origin of GDI StretchBlits for the Windows backend
* Fix error propagation for requests to create a similar surface with
negative size.
* Fix complex clipping of trapezoids with regions
* 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.
* Prevent an assertion failure when creating similar GL surfaces larger
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 1.12.12 (2013-01-31 Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>)
===================================================================
The goal of this release is to fix the synchronisation problems that
were exhibited in the SHM transport for cairo-xlib. This cropped up
any place that tried to rapidly push fresh pixel data to the X server
through an ordinary image surface, such as gimp-2.9 and evince.
Bug fixes
---------
Avoid replacing the entire image when uploading subimages
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59635
Force synchronisation for scratch SHM image buffers, so that we do
not overwrite data as it is being read by X.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59635 (also)
Fix typos in detecting multisampling for the GL (MSAA) backend.
Fix a memory leak in the GL (MSAA) backend.
Fix a reference counting bug when mapping a GL surface to an image.
Release 1.12.10 (2013-01-16 Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>)
===================================================================
A heap of bug fixes everywhere, and the gradual completion of the MSAA
backend for cairo-gl. Perhaps the most noteworthy set of the bugfixes
was the crusage lead by Behdad Eshfabod to make font handling by
pango/cairo/fontconfig fully threadsafe. This testing revealed a couple
of races that needed fixing in Cairo's scaled-font and glyph cache.
Bug fixes
---------
Append coincident elements to the recording's surface bbtree so that
the list is not corrupted and the overlapping elements lost.
Fix cairo-trace to correctly record map-to-image/unmap-image and then
replay them.
Ignore MappingNotifies when running the XCB testsuite as they are sent
to all clients when the keyboard changes. The testsuite would detect
the unexpected event and complain.
Handle very large large images in the XCB backend.
Fix a memory leak in the xlib/shm layer, and prevent use of the SHM
surfaces after the display is closed.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi
Handle resizing of bitmap fonts, in preparation for a fix to
fontconfig to correctly pass on the user request for scaling.
Always include subroutine 4 (hint replacement idion) when subsetting
type 1 fonts in order to prevent a crash in cgpdftops on Mac OS/X
Fix a couple of typos in the cairo-gobject.h header files for
introspection.
Prevent a mutex deadlock when freeing a scaled-glyph containing a
recording-surface that itself references another scaled-glyph.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54950
Make scaled-font cache actually thread-safe and prevent
use-after-frees.
Restore support for older versions of XRender. A couple of typos and a
few forgotten chunks prevented the xlib compositor from running
correctly with XRender < 0.10. Note that there are still a few
regressions remaining.
Release 1.12.8 (2012-11-24 Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>)
===================================================================
Another couple of weeks and a few more bugs have been found and fixed,
it is time to push the next point release. Many thanks to everyone who
reported their issues and helped us track down the bugs and helped
testing the fixes.
Bug fixes
---------
Expand the sanity checking for broken combinations of XSendEvent and
ShmCompletionEvent.
Notice that "The X.Org Foundation" sometimes also identifies itself
as "The Xorg Foundation".
Handle various ages of libXext and its Shm headers.
Fix the invalid clipping of the source drawable when using SHM
transport to upload images.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56547
Handle all Type1 postscript operators for better font compatibility.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56265
Fix a couple of memory leaks in Type1 font subsetting
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56566
Tighten the evaluation of the start/stop pen vertices, and catch a few
instances where we would use a fan instead of a bevel.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56432
Fix assumption that geometric clipping always succeeds with the
span-compositor.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56574
Fix call to spline intersection when evaluating whether a stoke is
visible.
Remember to copy inferior sources when using SHM to readback the
surface for use as a source.
build on NetBSD-5 with native Xorg.
Additionally, disable GL support since NetBSD-5's MesaLib is too old and,
according to upstream, cairo-gl "is only really being experimented
with currently by toy applications".
Bump PKGREVISION.
Tested by Andreas Gustafsson and David Brownlee.
that libXext/bl3.mk doesn't include xextproto/bl3.mk.
Since the supposed gains for this are minimal and the annoyances are high,
do include xextproto/bl3.mk in libXext/bl3.mk.
Release 1.12.6 (2012-10-22 Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>)
===================================================================
Thanks to everyone who download cairo-1.12.4 and gave us their feedback.
It truly was invaluable and has helped us to fix many portability issues
that crept in with some of the new features. This release aims to fix
those stability issues and run on a wider range of systems.
Bug fixes
---------
Fix the recording surface to actually snapshot the source and so fix
PDF drawing.
Calling XSendEvent with an XShmCompletionEvent is incompatabile with
older Xorg servers.
Reorder CloseDisplay chain so that XShm is not reinstantiated after
shutdown, causing a potential crash if the Display was immediately
recreated using the same memory address.
Make sure that the Xserver has attached to the SHM segment before
deleting it from the global namespace on systems that do not support
deferred deletion.
Type1 subsetting support for PDF (and PS) was once again improved to
work with a larger number of PDF readers.
GLESv2 build fixes and improved support for embedded GPUs.
Tweak the invisible pen detection for applications that are currently
using too large values for geometric tolerance.
A build fix for older freetype libraries.
Configuration script correctly detects that libdl is not needed
for dlsym(3) but ignores the result for not yet identified reason.
Noticed on FreeBSD 9.0.
