> Features
> --------
> * The PDF backend has gained support for a range of widely used
>   features, including thumbnails, page labels, metadata, document
>   outlines, structured text, hyperlinks, and tags.  Tags permit adding
>   logical info such as headings, tables, figures, etc. that facilitates
>   indexing, accessibility, text reflow, searching, and extraction of the
>   tagged items to other software.  For details on this new PDF
>   functionality, see:

[Announcement for 1.15.6][2]:

> cairo snapshot 1.15.6 now available
>
> This new snapshot incorporates changes over the past half-year since the
> 1.15.4 snapshot, including all the fixes from the 1.14 release series.
>
> The PDF code continues to be enhanced, and we're restored MacOSX 10.4
> support.  Font-related fixes and improved error handling for X round out
> the release.
>
> For a complete log of changes, please see
>
>     http://cairographics.org/releases/ChangeLog.1.15.6
>
>
> Features and Enhancements
> -------------------------
> * Detect if variable fonts have synthesized bold/italic or non-default
>   variants, and use a fallback font where needed.
>
> * Restore MacOSX 10.4 support.  Cairo had dropped 10.4 support when
>   moving to the CoreText API.  Now we automatically detect which API to
>   use via dynamic linking, so can resume supporting this older version
>   of MacOSX.
