Since version 1.11.0 Pycairo uses `Semantic Versioning
<http://semver.org/>`__ i.e. the newest version is the latest stable one.

.. _v1.16.2:

1.16.2 - 2018-02-10
-------------------

* setup.py: Some fixes for Debian pybuild quirks. :bug:`98`


.. _v1.16.1:

1.16.1 - 2018-02-06
-------------------

* setup.py: correctly install pkgconfig into /usr/lib* again.

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793216


.. _v1.16.0:

1.16.0 - 2018-02-05
-------------------

* Add a :func:`get_include` function which returns the compiler include path
  needed for interfacing with the Pycairo C API :bug:`92`
* Note for packagers: The default header installation path has changed, but a
  compat header is installed to the old location to prevent breakage in case
  anyone has hardcoded the old path instead of using pkg-config.
  Just in case anyone is wondering why there are two header files now.


.. _v1.15.6:

1.15.6 - 2018-01-30
-------------------

* Experimental PyPy and PyPy3 support :bug:`90`

.. _v1.15.3:

1.15.3 - 2017-09-17
-------------------

Fixes:

    compare equally e.g. ``context.get_target() == context.get_target()``
  * Functions which returned a cairo error with :attr:`Status.NO_MEMORY` no
    longer raise :exc:`python3:MemoryError`, but a subclass of :exc:`Error`
    and :exc:`python3:MemoryError`. Similarly errors with
    :attr:`Status.READ_ERROR` and :attr:`Status.WRITE_ERROR` no longer raise
    :exc:`python3:IOError`, but a subclass of :exc:`Error` and
    :exc:`python3:IOError`. :bug:`55`
  * Some functions which previously returned a tuple now return a tuple
    subclass like :class:`Rectangle`, :class:`Glyph`, :class:`TextCluster` and

1.13.0 - 2017-05-03
-------------------

New Features:
  * The buffer returned by :meth:`ImageSurface.get_data` under Python 2 now
    implements the character buffer interface to make it work with
    pygame.image.frombuffer(). :pr:`29`
  * All C enum types now have their own corresponding Python enum type:
    :class:`Antialias`, :class:`Content`, :class:`Extend`, :class:`FillRule`,
    :class:`Filter`, :class:`FontSlant`, :class:`FontWeight`, :class:`Format`,
    :class:`HintMetrics`, :class:`HintStyle`, :class:`LineCap`,

    :class:`PSLevel`, :class:`PathDataType`, :class:`RegionOverlap`,
    :class:`SVGVersion`, :class:`Status`, :class:`SubpixelOrder`. :bug:`26`

    All relevant constants are now an alias to attributes of those types e.g.
    :data:`ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT` is the same as :attr:`Antialias.DEFAULT`.

    All functions returning enum values now return instances of the new types
    e.g. :meth:`Context.get_antialias` returns a :class:`Antialias`.

    :attr:`Error.status` is now a :class:`Status`.
  * All included examples now work with Python 2 & 3
  * All included examples using GTK+ have been ported to GTK+ 3/PyGObject 3

Fixes:

.. _v1.11.1:

1.11.1 - 2017-04-12
-------------------

This release fixes an ABI breakage. I missed that the original pycairo master
had already broken ABI compared to 1.10.0.


.. _v1.11.0:

1.11.0 - 2017-04-09
-------------------

This version is based on the Python 2 version of pycairo 1.10.0 and is API/ABI
compatible with both py2cairo 1.10.0 and py3cairo 1.10.0.

General Changes:
    * Requires cairo 1.10.2+
    * Switch to semantic versioning
    * Switch build system to distutils/setup.py (xpyb integration can be
      enabled with passing ``--enable-xpyb`` to setup.py build)
    * Moved to GitHub: https://github.com/pygobject/pycairo

New Features:
    * Python 3 support (API/ABI compatible with py3cairo 1.10.0) including
      support for :exc:`cairo.Error`, :meth:`cairo.ImageSurface.get_data` and
      :meth:`cairo.ImageSurface.create_for_data`, which were missing in
      py3cairo.
    * :class:`cairo.RecordingSurface` (:fdobug:`36854`,
      `Torsten Landschoff <t.landschoff@gmx.net>`__)
    * :class:`cairo.Region`, :class:`cairo.RectangleInt` and
      cairo.REGION_OVERLAP_*
      (:fdobug:`44336`, `Bug Fly <mozbugbox@yahoo.com.au>`__)

Bug Fixes:
    * Fix crash when read()/write() methods of file objects passed to pycairo
      raise exceptions.
    * Fix possible value truncation of handles passed to Win32Surface and
      Win32PrintingSurface on 64bit Windows. :fdobug:`57493`


1.10.0 - 2011-05-01
-------------------

General Changes:
    py2cairo 1.10.0 requires cairo 1.10.0 (or later).

New Constants:
    cairo.FORMAT_RGB16_565

Bug Fixes:
    * context.get_source().get_surface() fails :fdobug:`33013`
    * Add support for './waf configure --libdir=XXX' :fdobug:`30230`

Documentation Changes:
    * Upgrade to using Sphinx 1.0.7.
    * Include html documentation in the pycairo archive file.

-------------------

General Changes:
    Pycairo 1.8.10 requires cairo 1.8.10 (or later).

    * Fix for libtool 2.2 (:fdobug:`27974`).
    * Mingw32 and pypy fixes (:fdobug:`25203`).

Other Changes:
    Tests updated.

The Win32PrintingSurface and XCBSurface changes mean that pycairo 1.8.10 is
not binary compatible with pycairo 1.8.8. So modules that use the pycairo C
API (like pygtk) will need to be recompiled to use pycairo 1.8.10.


1.8.8 - 2009-08-26
------------------

General Changes:

    * :fdobug:`19287`: Threading support results in crashes in
      cairo.ImageSurface

New Methods:
    Context.set_scaled_font

0.6.0 - 2005-08-01
------------------

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()

General changes:
    Pycairo has been updated to work with cairo 0.6.0, including using cairo's
    new error handling scheme.

New features:
    cairo.CONTENT_COLOR, cairo.ALPHA, cairo.COLOR_ALPHA have been added for
    working with surfaces.

    A new class cairo.FontOptions has been added.

    cairo.ImageSurface.create_from_png() now accepts a filename string or a
    file object

    New wrapper functions have been added for cairo_get_font_options,
    cairo_set_font_options and cairo_surface_get_font_options.

      access to the values from cairo-features.h

Fixes:
    * fix cairo_mask, cairo_mask_surface and cairo_stroke_preserve wrappers
    * compile properly against GTK+ 2.7 (Gustavo Carneiro)
    * other small fixes, including fixes for gcc 4.0 warnings


0.4.0 - 2005-03-10
------------------

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.


0.1.4 - 2005-01-14
------------------

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.


0.1.3 - 2004-11-24
------------------

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
