Cairo 1.17.6 (snapshot) I spy with my little eye… a Cairo snapshot! First of all, many, many thanks to everyone who contributed to Cairo during this development cycle. A special thank you goes to: - Adrian Johnson - Uli Schlachter for their tireless efforts in ensuring that the lights are still on in the Cairo project. This snapshot sees the removal of the following backends and platform support: - Qt4 - BeOS - OS/2 - DirectFB - DRM - Cogl - OpenVG Thanks to all past contributors for their work on them. If you were using any of these backends then you will need to stick to Cairo 1.16. To offset the removal of the backends above, Adrian Johnson landed the DWrite font rendering backend on Windows. There have been multiple improvements in the Quartz backend, courtesy of John Ralls. Tim-Philipp Müller has kept the Meson build in top shape. This snapshot is going to be the **last** release of Cairo with the Autotools build system. The Meson build has seen many improvements and it is considerably easier to maintain and faster to build.
