So, some of the latest Cairo fixes are very pertinent to the Shoes OSX release. <http://cairographics.org/roadmap/>
First, Cairo 1.5.14 fixed the crash we've been seeing on OSX whenever a matrix is applied to a gradient (all gradient backgrounds and borders are effected.) <http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14248> This means the manual will work and the calculator sample will look right. And, next, the Cairo 1.5.16 release applies the newer CGFont code. Which means more current font support on OSX and the ability to build for the iPhone. _why
