Release 1.18.4 (2025-03-08 Emmanuele Bassi )
==============================================================
A new stable release.
The dependency on LZO has been made optional through a build time
configuration toggle. [!580]
You can build Cairo against a Freetype installation that does not have the
FT_Color type. [#792]
Cairo tests now build on Solaris 11.4 with GCC 14. [!599]
The DirectWrite backend now builds on MINGW 11. [!600]
Thanks to Luca Bacci, the DirectWrite backend now supports font
variations and proper glyph coverage. [#877, !602]
Support for Windows 98 has been removed. The minimum requirement for
Windows is now Vista.
Full changes since 1.18.2
