It saddens me that cairo_win32_surface_create_with_format() was not
backported to the stable branch (since it is an addition and hardly changes
anything in the way cairo library behaves). In my defence, i was not aware
that something like that was maybe needed, and i didn't follow the progress
of the 1.14.x closely, because i just apply patches to my local version of
cairo anyway.

It is normal for a stable branch to be created at some point and to keep it
going for a while. 1.14.0 was such branch back in 2014, and 1.14.4 is the
continuation of that branch.
