+Snapshot 1.9.10 (2010-06-26)
+============================
+
+ The first "quick" snapshot in the run up to the stable release. The
+ last snapshot was picked up by the bleeding edge distributions and so the
+ bug reports have to started to roll in. The most frequent of these are the
+ introduction of rendering errors by applications that modify a surface
+ without subsequently calling cairo_surface_mark_dirty(). Make sure the
+ application developers are aware of increased reliance on strict use of the
+ Cairo API before 1.10 is released!
+
+ The usual slew of bugs reported and we would like to thank Zoxc for
+ contributing the WGL interface for cairo-gl, and finding more build
+ failures on win32. And it just wouldn't be a 1.9 snapshot unless
+ Benjamin Otte improved the error handling within cairo-gl, as well as
+ isolating and fixing some more errors in the test suite. The biggest bug of
+ the snapshot turned out to be a major sign extension issue that had lain
+ hidden for many years and was suddenly exposed by incorrectly rounding
+ rectangles when performing non-antialiased rendering. Also to the relief
+ of many we have included the downstream patch to honour the user's LCD
+ filtering preferences for subpixel rendering of fonts. The interface
+ remains private for the time being, whilst the proposed public API is
+ finalized.
+
+API changes
+-----------
+ None.
