Cairo 1.18.2 Collects A Year's Worth Of Fixes

Cairo 1.18.2 released this week nearly one year after Cairo 1.18's debut for this cross-platform 2D vector graphics library -- in turn that was the project's first stable release in five years. Cairo is important for the GTK toolkit, Mozilla's Gecko engine, and dozens of other software projects. With Cairo 1.18.2 there are many fixes that have accumulated over the past year for bettering this graphics library.

Cairo 1.18.2 brings build fixes when using newer versions of the GCC compiler, Microsoft MSVC, and even the toolchains on Oracle Solaris and Apple macOS. The Cairo update also better handles malformed PNG data, preferring COLRv1 tables inside fonts when available, and Cairo also now mandates C11 toolchain support when compiling. Plus various other fixes that have come up over the past 11+ months.
