Major enhancement for cairo in Fedora 29 has improved color accuracy and resolved memory-related concerns. Discover the details!
This update lowers amount of color artefacts around glyphs when subpixel rendering is enabled for text by using freetype's default LCD filter

Summary

Cairo is a 2D graphics library designed to provide high-quality display

and print output. Currently supported output targets include the X Window

System, in-memory image buffers, and image files (PDF, PostScript, and SVG).

Cairo is designed to produce consistent output on all output media while

taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when available.

This update lowers amount of color artefacts around glyphs when subpixel

rendering is enabled for text by using freetype's default LCD filter. It also

fixes a crash caused by using of wrong function for freeing of memory

(CVE-2018-19876).
