Upgrade Cairo and PyCairo to latest versions #14

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The Cairo and PyCairo versions Enso is currently using are getting a bit
old (at least, on the win32 backend) - they should be updated.

Currently, Enso is using (on Windows):
* Cairo v1.0.4
* PyCairo (unknown old version)

Latest versions are:
* Cairo v1.4.8
* PyCairo v1.4.12

With the newer versions, we'd get things like cairo.show_glyphs and
cairo.set_antialias. And of course, a pretty decent performance boost.

While the API additions may or may not be used, the performance benefits
would be great to have (even if we're not *currently* going anything
intensive).

Just noticing that Cairo 1.6.0 will be out quite soon afaik (1.5.14 should be 
the
latest unstable release before 1.6.0, the todo-list has been emptied, bugs that 
would
be reported from now on would be the latest blockers)
