> ====================================================================
> Hard to believe it's been over a year since our last release, but it's
> not for lack of activity.  This release includes contributions of a wide
> assortment of bug fixes, build system improvements, warnings cleanups,
> codebase refactoring, test suite repairs, and static analysis work.
>
> This release is lighter on features (compared with 1.12.10) but includes
> a highly demanded rehaul of our image downscaling functionality, which
> solves a serious problem experienced by Inkscape users when shrinking
> embedded bitmaps in SVG files.  The new scaling algorithms are used by
> the image backend and by other backends as needed for fallbacks.
>
>
> Features
> --------
>
>   Filtering improvements for the image backend, in particular
>   down-scaling of images produces filtered images that depend on all the
>   pixels of the source. When using the image backend you get the
>   following settings:
>
>   CAIRO_FILTER_GOOD: uses a box filter for scales less than .75 in
>     either direction. For scales larger than this, the same filter as
>     CAIRO_FILTER_BILINEAR is used.
>
>   CAIRO_FILTER_BEST: uses a Catmull-Rom filter always. When upscaling
>     more than 2x this will produce anti-aliased square pixels, similar
>     to OS/X.
>
>   CAIRO_FILTER_GAUSSIAN: uses PIXMAN_FILTER_BEST, which in current
>     pixman is the same as BILINEAR. (This is subject to change in the
>     future).
>
>   xlib and xcb also use the image fallback for GOOD/BEST filters, but
>   note that other backends do not implement these filtering fixes yet,
>   however other actions may cause them to use an image fallback which
>   will cause these filters to be used.
>
>   Improve handling of device transformation and scaling, allowing Cairo
>   to now support scaling at a device level, permitting easier, more
>   transparent HiDPI support.
>
>   Support JBIG2 mime data in PDF.  This allows embedding of more
>   compressed JPEG formats within PDF, rather than including the full
>   uncompressed image.  Also, reduce the number of transparency groups
>   used by PDF to keep the file size small and viewing/printing of the
>   PDF fast.
>
>   Expand the embedding section to include stencil mask support.
>
>   Reorder font declarations to be in natural order.
>
>   Update the Skia backend to build against current Skia (as of June
>   2014).
>
>   Drop Link-Time Optimization (LTO) support from build system.  This
>   seems to have caused much trouble for unclear benefit, and most
>   distros are reverting or disabling it anyway.
>
>   Optimize VBO size on GL to 1M and to 16k for EGL.  This improves
>   (theoretical) performance for desktop GLX use cases while avoiding
>   hitting VBO memory size limitations on embedded devices.

> API Changes
> -----------
>
>   cairo_surface_set_device_scale, cairo_surface_get_device_scale:
>
>     Sets a scale that is multiplied to the device coordinates

> Cairo - Multi-platform 2D graphics library
> http://cairographics.org
>
> What is cairo
> =============
> Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output
> devices. Currently supported output targets include the X Window
> System (via both Xlib and XCB), quartz, win32, and image buffers,
> as well as PDF, PostScript, and SVG file output. Experimental backends
> include OpenGL, 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
> (for example, through the X Render Extension).
>
> The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of
> PostScript and PDF. Operations in cairo include stroking and filling
> cubic Bézier 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 has been designed to let you draw anything you want in a modern
> 2D graphical user interface.  At the same time, the cairo API has been
> designed to be as fun and easy to learn as possible. If you're not
> having fun while programming with cairo, then we have failed
> somewhere---let us know and we'll try to fix it next time around.
>
> Cairo is free software and is available to be redistributed and/or
> modified under the terms of either the GNU Lesser General Public
> License (LGPL) version 2.1 or the Mozilla Public License (MPL) version
> 1.1.
