A tracking bug for updating the cairo to the just released 1.12 version: http://cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.12.0/ It's a major stable version that brings many speed improvements (but only): http://cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.11.4/

Could you add 1.12.0 in the bug title please? (to improve search)

http://ickle.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/cairo-1-12-4-is-just-around-the-corner/ Cairo 1.12.4 is coming soon, can someone update the bug title to 1.12.4?

Cairo 1.12.2 has been released.

http://www.cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.12.4/ Cairo 1.12.4 has been released, can someone update the bug title to 1.12.4?

Cairo 1.12.8 has been released.

(In reply to xunxun from comment #5) > Cairo 1.12.8 has been released. There is no official news release or changelog about this version. For now the title is updated for 1.12.6 http://www.cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.12.6/

Cairo 1.12.8 released, please update the bug title. http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo-announce/2012-November/000206.html Complete list of changes since 1.12.6 ------------------------------------- Adrian Johnson (5): type1-subset: parse all operators type1-subset: restore correct callothersub behavior type1-subset: ensure subroutine numnber is an integer type1-subset: fix memory leak type1-subset: remove unused variable Chris Wilson (19): version: Post release bump to 1.12.7 xlib/shm: Sanity check that the server handles XSendEvent with ShmCompletion xlib: Check for both X.org and Xorg ServerVendors xlib/shm: Check for XShm headers xlib/shm: Use shmstr.h instead of shmproto.h if available xlib: Apply the image offsets to the destination rather the source pen: First check whether the in/out edges lie within the single pen vertex xlib/shm: Fix bogus assertion without shm available image: Add a couple of tracepoints for spans fallbacks stroke: Precompute the line half-width util/show-polygon: Show the limited range of each edge spans: Do not assume that we manage to perform the clip geometrically xlib: Fixup standalone header compilation for 'make check' gl: Tune the default VBO size to reduce overhead on embedded devices pen: Tighten checking for bevel (start==stop) joins test: Add stroke-clipped stroke: Fix calling '_cairo_spline_intersect' for in-bounds checking of splines xlib/shm: Need IncludeInferiors when creating the source fallback 1.12.8 release Kevin Tardif (1): type1-subset, cff-subset: Plugged 2 memory leaks

This needs to happen! ...if for no other reason than to address bug 691661, which is a freetype subpixel rendering regression present in cairo 1.10.2 (the version I believe mozilla integrates) but fixed in upstream cairo since 1.11.4 (2012-03-12). I can't seem to get any attention paid to that bug -- despite it being a clear and obvious one-liner fix -- so perhaps upgrading cairo wholesale will get it resolved.

Guessing we wont see this happen?

With WinXP's dwindling market share, i doubt this is a high priority, there are so many other important issues Firefox needs fixed first, before Danish Governments, Chinese & Indian software pirates are attended to.

Thanks for the update. We have a few dependencies at the moment that are blocking us but once they are solved we will update cairo. AFAIK We're looking to switching to using Azure Quartz before updating. Cairo Quartz has historically given us the most headache when upgrading cairo. Jeff would know better.

BenWa: can you list the dependencies preventing this bug from being resolved ? Updating the bundled cairo would help reducing the differences with third-parties *nix distributors which atm build with systemwide cairo (usually 1.12.x) and face strange issues (at least an issue with fonts rendering weird sometimes, cant find the bug # right now)

I was referring to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=856419

And someone know which edition of cairo mozilla tree has at present.

12d521df8acc483b2daa844d4f05dc2fe2765ba6, whatever that amounts to. http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/gfx/cairo/README?raw=1

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562746 I think this is the last time cairo was updated in Firefox, could be wrong though.

Once we switch to Azure Quartz this might happen but right now were priotizing performance improvements.

Since cairo update has some trouble, can we build system cario directly using --enable-system-cairo --enable-system-pixman even on Windows.

We'd likely accept a patch (I can check if someone is wanting/needs this) to do this but we wouldn't ship it with an official builds to use the system libraries.

Cairo 1.14.0 released. http://www.cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.14.0/

Cairo 1.14.2 released. http://www.cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.14.2/

Updating Cairo might also resolve printing problems I experienced in bug 1204551, which deals with PDF output. In respect to PDF generation, there have been a lot of improvements in the meantime: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/log/?qt=grep&q=pdf

http://cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.14.4/ Cairo 1.14.4 released.

http://cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.15.2/ Cairo 1.15.2 released.

We're most likely not going to update the "in tree" version of Cairo, but instead move to using system Cairo on some platforms.

(In reply to Milan Sreckovic [:milan] from comment #32) > We're most likely not going to update the "in tree" version of Cairo, but > instead move to using system Cairo on some platforms. You may want to do test runs first with system cairo. It was causing massive amounts of crashes in firefox under 1.14.xx.

I am some confused - how Firefox crashes with 1.14.xx cairo if the "in tree" version not been updated for years and using system version just considered now? BTW - how I can check what version of cairo used by particular build of Firefox?

(In reply to Boaz Dodin from comment #34) > I am some confused - how Firefox crashes with 1.14.xx cairo if the "in tree" > version not been updated for years and using system version just considered > now? It is because the intree version has not been updated in years so firefox is not tested properly to work with newer cairo versions (the ones your linux distribution uses). go to about:buildconfig and look for a --with-system-cairo. If you find it there, firefox is using the system version of cairo (which may lead to crashes). In that cause, use your distribution's package manager to find the cairo version. if no "--with-system-cairo" is found under about:buildconfig, then firefox is using in-tree one which is like 1.9.5 or something.

Note that Fedora, Archlinux, etc... use the intree cairo to avoid crashes.

So it looks like a lot of Linux users are with "in tree" cairo from several years ago. May I ask what was the rational to not update it, while cairo is an active project?

(In reply to Boaz Dodin from comment #37) > So it looks like a lot of Linux users are with "in tree" cairo from several > years ago. > > May I ask what was the rational to not update it, while cairo is an active > project? Our version of the win32 backend has diverged significantly from the upstream one for performance reasons. We plan on dropping our dependency on this backend and after we do that it should be much easier for us to update cairo.

I just finished a firefox trunk build with --enable-system-cairo. I'll test how stable it is. The system cairo version is 1.15.2

Using ubuntu 16.04, I tried --enable-system-cairo as described in bug #1204551. Now that ubuntu 16.04 comes along with libcairo version 1.14.6-1, --enable-system-cairo fixed the whole issue #1204551 (Kyocera fs-1020d can't print complex pdf output sometimes), which is a problem I struggled with for so many years.

1.14.8 and 1.15.4 is available. https://www.cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.14.8/ https://www.cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.15.4/ BTW 1.15.4 is a snapshot version. Which version is our target in this bug?

I'm not sure this bug is still relevant. Our in-tree cairo has many local changes and too old. We should simply migrate to Skia and drop the cairo backend.
