Hi,

I released rcairo(\*1) 1.8.0 that supports cairo(\*2) 1.8.0  
released at today:  
[http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/rcairo/](http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/rcairo/)

(\*1) A library to use cairo from Ruby.

(\*2) A 2D graphics library that is used by  
GTK+/Firefox/WebKit/… as rendering backend and worked  
on multi-platform. cairo can output PDF, PNG, SVG and  
so on too.
