A new cairo release 1.2.4 is now available from:
http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.2.4.tar.gz
which can be verified with:
http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.2.4.tar.gz.sha1
5520b771c8b85acea78fa56fc4c39b4dca6bcc7c cairo-1.2.4.tar.gz
http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.2.4.tar.gz.sha1.asc
(signed by Carl Worth)
Additionally, a git clone of the source tree:
git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/cairo
will include a signed 1.2.4 tag which points to a commit named:
54755b2d9891981d813384bccde84998def96abf
which can be verified with:
git verify-tag 1.2.4
and can be checked out with a command such as:
git checkout -b build 1.2.4
This is the second bug fix release in the 1.2 series, coming less than
two weeks after the 1.2.2 release made on August 8.
The big motivation for a quick release was that there were a log of
build system snags that people ran into with the 1.2.2 release. But,
by the time we got those all done, we found that we had a bunch of
fixes for cairo's rendering as well. So there's a lot of goodness in
here for such a short time period.
As always, have lots of fun with cairo everybody!
