Is Cairo 1.17.6 really released?

The last tag in this repository is 1.17.6, but today I realized that Cairo website's news do not mention version 1.17.6 and that the [download area] does not have an 1.17.6 tarball.

Could you please confirm me that this is meant to be the latest release (or has it been retracted for some reason?). For GIMP, we use version 1.17.6 on our flatpak and on Windows (through MSYS2), but on macOS, I see MacPorts (on which we are based) still has 1.17.4 for instance, so macOS users of GIMP are still encountering an annoying issue which got fixed in 1.17.6. But I want to be sure there is no serious problem on this version before asking MacPorts to update.

Thanks!
