- Update from version 1.16.0 to 1.17.6
- Update of rootfile
- Next version will only build with meson and as there were some bugs with the autoconf
tools build which required a hack to overcome, this version was changed to run with
meson. beos and os2 backends are no longer supported and windows only builds if the
platform being used for the build is windows based. Therefore those options are no
longer needed. meson uses shared libraries only by default.
- The cairo-1.16.0-binutils-2.34 patch is no longer needed as the changes have been
included in the source tarball.
- tarball had to be changed to .bz2 as xz is no longer provided.

Release 1.17.6 (2022-03-18 Emmanuele Bassi <ebassi@gnome.org>)
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.
Release 1.17.4 (2020-11-27 Bryce Harrington <bryce@bryceharrington.org>)
Thank you to the many people who have contributed the large number of
bug fixes and refinements since 1.17.2.
A particularly noteworthy improvement in this release is the addition of
the meson build system as an alternative to autotools. Autotools is
still used for producing the releases, so will be the default in the
tarball and presumably will still be preferred by distro packagers of
Cairo. It should be possible to build the release tarball using meson,
but as this is new functionality consider it still a work in progress.
The meson configuration has striven to track the autotools
implementation but be aware there may still be some differences between
the two.
Continuous Integration configurations have been added that enable
testing on a variety of platforms including Fedora, Windows MSVC, etc.
This work has helped in identifying updates and fixes including
adjusting to changes in API calls in dependencies like rsvg and
fontconfig, and to fix platform-specific build issues.
The cogl Cairo backend underwent significant development this cycle.
Cogl provides GPU accelerated drawing support. The development work
includes implementation of core functionality, performance
optimizations, and stabilization.
Subpixel positioning support allows improved glyph outlines with the
Freetype font backend.

[On a personal note, this will be my last release for Cairo. My Cairo
time availability has been non-existent (particularly this crazy past
year). The release process is well documented and hopefully will help
whomever picks up the baton from here.]
Release 1.17.2 (2019-01-31 Bryce Harrington <bryce@bryceharrington.org>)
This snapshot provides the new support for writing floating point
formats as 16 bpc PNGs, with support for RGBA128F and RGB96F formats.
This new feature increases Cairo's pixman version requirement to 0.36.0.
Beyond this are a range of bugfixes and some work on establishing CI for
Cairo.

Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.
