Release 1.12.12 (2013-01-31 Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>)
====================================================================
The goal of this release is to fix the synchronisation problems that
were exhibited in the SHM transport for cairo-xlib. This cropped up
any place that tried to rapidly push fresh pixel data to the X server
through an ordinary image surface, such as gimp-2.9 and evince.

Bug fixes
---------

   Avoid replacing the entire image when uploading subimages
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59635

   Force synchronisation for scratch SHM image buffers, so that we do
   not overwrite data as it is being read by X.
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59635 (also)

   Fix typos in detecting multisampling for the GL (MSAA) backend.

   Fix a memory leak in the GL (MSAA) backend.

   Fix a reference counting bug when mapping a GL surface to an image.
