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>) ======================================================================== |
