We have new public APIs:

$ git log -p 1.12.6.. $(ls src/*.h | grep -v private.h | grep -v inline.h | grep
-v cairoint.h)

This is cairo_egl_device_get_{display,context}(),
cairo_surface_[gs]et_device_scale(), CAIRO_STATUS_JBIG2_GLOBAL_MISSING and
CAIRO_MIME_TYPE_JBIG2{,_GLOBAL,_GLOBAL_ID}.

All of these are currently documented as "since 1.14".

This is actually less than I expected. I guess we could make an 1.12 branch and
hide/remove these API additions and then do a release. Or are we allowed to add
new APIs in micro releases?
