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.

Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices.
Currently supported output targets include the X Window System, Quartz, Win32,
image buffers, PostScript, PDF, and SVG file output. Experimental backends
include OpenGL (through glitz), XCB, 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 (eg. through the X
Render Extension).
The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of
PostScript and PDF. Operations in cairo including stroking and filling cubic
Bezier 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 is implemented as a library written in the C programming language, but
bindings are available for several different programming languages.
