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.

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.
|
|
|
|
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.
