Also, I'm thinking about going for a 12.x instead of 14. o/ One of the changes that will be included in this release is a change to bitmap downscaling. Inkscape needs this fix strongly enough that we'll be recommending (and perhaps depending on) this cairo release, which I mention in case it influences the decision at all about 12.x vs 14.0. > It's been 5 / 6 years since I last did a release.

I've not compared the count with the prior release though; test failures have been high for a while, perhaps it's no worse. I posted a bunch of distcheck fixes for feedback last week. I'll go ahead and land the ones that look most sensible and repost any that I still have questions on. The aforementioned downscaling fix appears to have had some performance regression issue associated with it. That's the only regression I'm aware of in the codebase right now.
