initialisation of the xlib backend (reduce the cairo overhead of
render_bench by ~80%).
Release 1.8.8 (2009-06-16 Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>)
==================================================================
The cairo community is pleased to announce the 1.8.8 release of the
cairo graphics library. This is the fourth update to cairo's stable
1.8 series and contains a small number of bug fixes (in particular a
few corrections to the documentation and a few fixes in the FreeType font
backend). This is being released just over six months after cairo 1.8.6.
We recommend that everyone using cairo upgrade to 1.8.8.

Build fixes
-----------
There were reports of incompatibilities with the autotools bundled in with
the 1.8.6 tarball. This release has been built with automake-1.10.2 and
autoconf-2.63.
The configure check for FreeType has been improved:
typo in check for version of freetype in configure script
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19283
Compilation on 64-bit MacOS/X fixes:
Cannot build cairo_quartz_font_face_create_for_atsu_font_id on 64-bit Mac OS X
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15702
Bug fixes
---------
Uninitialised status return within _cairo_clip_intersect_mask(). This caused
random crashes and general mayhem as an error could be generated causing all
rendering to the context to stop.
Avoid transforming nearly-degenerate matrices into degenerate matrices:
Painting stops in this case, using -moz-transform: scale, rotate and video
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467423
A few FreeType font handling bugs were fixed:
Rendering with PANGO_GRAVITY_EAST leads to different results with image and pdf
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21985
Don't call FT_Done_Face() on faces we did not create
zombie ft_font_face / ft_unscaled_font mutual referencing problems
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21706
Ensure win32 font backend sets the return value to -1 (indicating the absent
glyph) if the font index lookup for the unicode character fails. And
similarly fix a bug where a fatal error was raised for an invalid glyph.
cairo_scaled_font_glyph_extents breaks with invalid glyph id
