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.

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.

and then back again to user coordinates (cairo_copy_path,
cairo_append_path)
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54732
Fix extents computations for a degenerate path consisting only of a
move-to

intersection
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54822
After such a long gestation period for the release of Cairo 1.12, we
inevitably accumulated a few bugs that were flushed out by broadening the
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.
