Features and Enhancements
-------------------------
* Support colored emoji glyphs, stored as PNG images in OpenType fonts.
Bug Fixes
---------
* pdf: Fix internal links pointing to other pages, by pre-calculating page
heights so that link positions can be calculated more accurately.
* image: Fix crash on negative lengths
* win32: Fix initialization of mutexes for static builds
* pdf: Don't emit /PageLabel dict when no labels defined
* font: Fix color font loading on big-endian systems
* font: Fix color font support infinite-loop with empty glyphs
* Fix off by one check in cairo-image-info.c

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 designed to produce consistent output on all output media
while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when available
(for example, through the X Render Extension).
The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of
PostScript and PDF. Operations in cairo include stroking and filling
cubic Bézier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images,
and antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be
transformed by any affine transformation (scale, rotation, shear,
etc.).
Cairo has been designed to let you draw anything you want in a modern
2D graphical user interface. At the same time, the cairo API has been
designed to be as fun and easy to learn as possible. If you're not
having fun while programming with cairo, then we have failed
somewhere---let us know and we'll try to fix it next time around.
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.
