+Overview of changes from pycairo 0.5.1 to pycairo 0.6.0
+=======================================================
+This version has many changes which update Pycairo to the new cairo API. The
+change list is not duplicated here, instead see the cairo/NEWS file for full
+details of all these API changes.
+
+Pycairo method names that were different from the underlying cairo function
+names have been changed to make Pycairo more closely follow cairo and so
+enable the cairo documentation to be used for writing Pycairo programs.
+NOTES has been updated to list the differences between the C API and the
+Pycairo API.
+
+Context.copy_path() has been implemented, it returns a Path instance which
+supports the iterator protocol.
+
+Python 2.3 is now required.
+
+New examples:
+examples/warpedtext.py
+ shows usage of the Path iterator
+
+examples/cairo_snippets/
+ shows many of the 'cairo-demo/cairo_snippets' examples
+
+examples/gtk/png_view.py
+ example using cairo.ImageSurface.create_from_png()
+
+
+Overview of changes from pycairo 0.1.4 to pycairo 0.4.0
+=======================================================
+New cairo bindings:
+ cairo_font_extents
+
+Bindings removed:
+ cairo_font_set_transform
+ cairo_font_current_transform
+
+New examples:
+ gtk/hangman.py
+
+Other:
+ Changed version numbering to correspond directly with the Cairo
+ version Pycairo was developed to work with. So, for example,
+ Pycairo version 0.4.0 represents the Pycairo version that has been
+ developed and tested with Cairo 0.4.0.
+
+Overview of changes from pycairo 0.1.3 to pycairo 0.1.4
+=======================================================
+The Pycairo license has changed so that it is now dual-licensed under the LGPL
+and the MPL, the same as Cairo itself. For details see the COPYING file as
+well as COPYING-LGPL-2.1 and COPYING-MPL-1.1.
+
+New cairo bindings:
+ cairo_pdf_surface_create
+ cairo_set_target_pdf
+
+New libsvg-cairo bindings:
+ svg_cairo_parse
+ svg_cairo_parse_buffer
+ svg_cairo_render
+ svg_cairo_get_size
+
+Other:
+ Added --without-pygtk configure option.
+ Renamed the Pycairo API _new() functions to _wrap() to allow _new() to
+ be used for python __new__ functions.
+ New examples: svg2png.py and svgview.py.
+
+
+Overview of changes for pycairo 0.1.3
+=====================================
+After the recent server compromise we discarded all unsigned
+snapshots. That left us without a pycairo snapshot.
+
+Additionally, there were no tags in the source repository so I
+couldn't recreate the 0.1.2 snapshot, so here's a new 0.1.3 snapshot.
+
+I apologize if I botched the version number or left something
+significant out of this announcement---I'm not the one who will
+usually be doing pycairo maintenance.
+
+New bindings:
+ current_path
+ current_path_flat
+ current_font_extents
+
+Changes:
+ fill_extents,stroke_extents: Remove unnecessary args and
+ change from a method to an attribute.
+
+Other:
+ Added two new examples: context-subclass.py and warpedtext.py
