Snapshot 1.11.4 (2012-13-12)
============================
The cairo community is pleased to finally announce the long aniticpated
release candidate for 1.12, 1.11.4, of the cairo graphics library. This
is the first major update to cairo in over a year and brings a large
number of new features; undoubtably a few bugs as well.
While many people have contributed and have helped to test the release,
providing feedback on 1.10 and suggesting improvements, this release
is the result of a few persevering souls who deserve recognition for their
outstanding contributions: Andrea Canciani (all round bug fixing,
performance tuning and master of the gradients), Adrian Johnson (PDF
supremo) and Uli Schlachter (who stepped forward as maintainer for the
XCB backend).
Major additions since 1.11.2:
* cairo_surface_map_to_image API for pixel level access to any surface
* New antialias hints to control the trade-off between speed and quality
* A callback pattern, cairo_pattern_create_raster_source, for lazy
decoding of image data.
* cairo_surface_observer_t, a new type of surface to gather performance
statistics
* XCB as a supported backend
* A rewritten compositor pipeline for performance improvements for, but not
limited to, the xlib and image backends.
From ION and PineView through to SandyBridge, every machine I have shows
across the board performance improvement on the cairo-traces:
