* @Title: Version Information
* @Short_Description: Compile-time and run-time version checks.
*
* Cairo has a three-part version number scheme. In this scheme, we use
* even vs. odd numbers to distinguish fixed points in the software
* vs. in-progress development, (such as from git instead of a tar file,
* or as a "snapshot" tar file as opposed to a "release" tar file).
*
* <informalexample><screen>
* _____ Major. Always 1, until we invent a new scheme.
* / ___ Minor. Even/Odd = Release/Snapshot (tar files) or Branch/Head (git)
* | / _ Micro. Even/Odd = Tar-file/git
* | | /
* 1.0.0
* </screen></informalexample>
*
* Here are a few examples of versions that one might see.
* <informalexample><screen>
* Releases
* --------
* 1.0.0 - A major release
* 1.0.2 - A subsequent maintenance release
* 1.2.0 - Another major release
*
* Snapshots
* ---------
* 1.1.2 - A snapshot (working toward the 1.2.0 release)
*
* In-progress development (eg. from git)
* --------------------------------------
* 1.0.1 - Development on a maintenance branch (toward 1.0.2 release)
* 1.1.1 - Development on head (toward 1.1.2 snapshot and 1.2.0 release)
* </screen></informalexample>

* <title>Compatibility</title>
* <para>
* The API/ABI compatibility guarantees for various versions are as
* follows. First, let's assume some cairo-using application code that is
* successfully using the API/ABI "from" one version of cairo. Then let's
* ask the question whether this same code can be moved "to" the API/ABI
* of another version of cairo.
*
* Moving from a release to any later version (release, snapshot,
* development) is always guaranteed to provide compatibility.
*
* Moving from a snapshot to any later version is not guaranteed to
* provide compatibility, since snapshots may introduce new API that ends
* up being removed before the next release.
*
* Moving from an in-development version (odd micro component) to any
* later version is not guaranteed to provide compatibility. In fact,
* there's not even a guarantee that the code will even continue to work
* with the same in-development version number. This is because these
* numbers don't correspond to any fixed state of the software, but
* rather the many states between snapshots and releases.
* </para>
* </refsect2>
* <refsect2>
* <title>Examining the version</title>
* <para>
* Cairo provides the ability to examine the version at either
* compile-time or run-time and in both a human-readable form as well as
* an encoded form suitable for direct comparison. Cairo also provides the
* macro CAIRO_VERSION_ENCODE() to perform the encoding.
*
* <informalexample><screen>
* Compile-time
* ------------
* CAIRO_VERSION_STRING Human-readable
* CAIRO_VERSION Encoded, suitable for comparison
*
* Run-time
* --------
* cairo_version_string() Human-readable
* cairo_version() Encoded, suitable for comparison
* </screen></informalexample>
*
* For example, checking that the cairo version is greater than or equal
* to 1.0.0 could be achieved at compile-time or run-time as follows:
*
* <informalexample><programlisting>
* ##if CAIRO_VERSION >= CAIRO_VERSION_ENCODE(1, 0, 0)
* printf ("Compiling with suitable cairo version: %s\n", %CAIRO_VERSION_STRING);
* ##endif
*
* if (cairo_version() >= CAIRO_VERSION_ENCODE(1, 0, 0))
* printf ("Running with suitable cairo version: %s\n", cairo_version_string ());
* </programlisting></informalexample>
* </para>
