 * @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><programlisting>
 *  _____ 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
 * </programlisting></informalexample>
 *
 * Here are a few examples of versions that one might see.
 * <informalexample><programlisting>
 * 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)
 * </programlisting></informalexample>
 * </para>
 * <refsect2>
 * <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><programlisting>
 * 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
 * </programlisting></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>
 * </refsect2>
