+Release 1.15.4     (2016-12-9 Bryce Harrington <bryce@osg.samsung.com>)
+=======================================================================
+This new snapshot incorporates changes over the past year since the
+1.15.2 snapshot, including all the fixes from the 1.14 release series.
+
+Of particular note in this snapshot is a wealth of work by Adrian
+Johnson to enhance PDF support, as well as numerous bug fixes provided
+by him and other contributors.
+
+For a complete log of changes since the last release, please see:
+
+    http://cairographics.org/releases/ChangeLog.1.15.4
+
+Features
+--------
+* The PDF backend has gained support for a range of widely used
+  features, including thumbnails, page labels, metadata, document
+  outlines, structured text, hyperlinks, and tags.  Tags permit adding
+  logical info such as headings, tables, figures, etc. that facilitates
+  indexing, accessibility, text reflow, searching, and extraction of the
+  tagged items to other software.  For details on this new PDF
+  functionality, see:
+
+    https://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2016-June/027427.html
+
+

+  CAIRO_STATUS_TAG_ERROR
+
+    New API for added PDF functionality (see above), and new error
+    status item for problems relating to PDF tagging.
+
+  CAIRO_STATUS_WIN32_GDI_ERROR

+Bug Fixes
+---------
+* Bug fixes from 1.15.2 (see the 1.15.2 NEWS for details)
+
+* Fix playback of recording surfaces into PDF surfaces, where objects
+  with negative coordinates were not getting drawn.  To address this,
+  the coordinate systems for PDF and PS have been changed to match
+  cairo's coordinate system.  This allows recording surfaces to be
+  emitted in cairo coordinates, and results in the same origin being
+  used for all operations when using the recording surface XObject.
+  Test cases for PDF and PS have also been updated accordingly.
+  (Bug #89232)
+
+* Fix "invalidfont" error on some printers when printing PDFs with
+  embedded fonts that have glyphs (such as spaces) with
+  num_contours == 0.  (Bug #79897)
+
+* Fix missing glyphs such as thin dashes, which get scaled to 0 in
+  userspace and thus have their drawing operations culled.  (Bug #94615)
+
+* Fix other oddities caused by variously idiosyncratic fonts.
+
+* Fix deadlock when destruction of a scaled font indirectly triggers
+  destruction of a second scaled font, causing the global cache to be
+  locked twice.  (Bug #93891)
+
+* Fix X errors reported to applications when shmdt() is called before
+  the Attach request is processed, due to missing xcb and xlib calls.
+
+* Fix random failure in record-paint-alpha-clip-mast test case, caused
+  by an incorrect assumption that a deferred clear can be skipped.
+  (Bug #84330)
+
+* Fix crash when dealing with an XShmGetImage() failure, caused by a
+  double free in _get_image_surface().  (Bug #91967)
+
+* Fix invalid execution of ASCII85 data by the PS interpreter that the
+  image operator didn't use, by flushing the extraneous data after
+  drawing the image.  (Bug #84811)
+
+* Fix decoding of Adobe Photoshop's inverted CMYK JPEG files in PDF
+  export.
+
+* Fix unbounded surface assertion in win32-print code.
+
+* Fix a data race in freed_pool discovered by Firefox's cairo usage.
+  The patch adads atomic int load and store functions, with relaxed
+  memory ordering.  (Bug #90318)
+
+* Cleanup debugging text sent to stdout instead of log.  (Bug #95227)
+
+* Fix build issue when using non-GNU strings utility.  (Bug #88639)
+
+* Fix build of cairo modules as regular modules, not as versioned shared
+  libaries.  (Bug #29319)
+
+* Fix build on win32 using gcc 5.4.
+
+* Fix build of script backend to require zlib.
+
+* Update test suite reference images using Debian Jessie 64-bit and
+  poppler current as of June, 2016.
+
+* Various improvements to documentation and tests, compiler warning
+  fixes, and an assortment of code refactoring and cleanup.
