Bug Fixes
---------
* Fix "invalidfont" error on some printers when printing PDFs with
  embedded fonts that have glyphs (such as spaces) with
  num_contours == 0.  (Bug #79897)
* Fix deadlock when destruction of a scaled font indirectly triggers
  destruction of a second scaled font, causing the global cache to be
  locked twice.  (Bug #93891)
* Fix X errors reported to applications when shmdt() is called before
  the Attach request is processed, due to missing xcb and xlib calls.
* Fix random failure in record-paint-alpha-clip-mast test case, caused
  by an incorrect assumption that a deferred clear can be skipped.
  (Bug #84330)
* Fix crash when dealing with an XShmGetImage() failure, caused by a
  double free in _get_image_surface().  (Bug #91967)
* Fix build issue when using non-GNU strings utility.  (Bug #88639)
* Cleanup debugging text sent to stdout instead of log.  (Bug #95227)


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 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.
