Log message:
FreeType 2.7.1 has been released. The most important news is preliminary support \ 
of Adobe's new CFF2 font format and variation fonts as specified in the new \ 
OpenType specification version 1.8. It also fixes the handling of raw CID fonts \ 
(which might be found in PDF files)

Log message:
Updated freetype2 to 2.7.

Remove subpixel option which is now on by default.

CHANGES BETWEEN 2.6.5 and 2.7

  I. IMPORTANT CHANGES

    - As announced earlier, the 2.7.x series now uses the new subpixel
      hinting  mode as  the  default, emulating  a  modern version  of
      ClearType.

      This change inevitably leads to different rendering results, and
      you   might   change   the   `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING'
      configuration option to  adapt it to your taste (or  use the new
      `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES'    environment    variable).    See    the
      corresponding entry  below for  version 2.6.4, which  gives more
      information.

    - A new option  `FT_CONFIG_OPTION_ENVIRONMENT_PROPERTIES' has been
      introduced.   If  set (which  is  the  default), an  environment
      variable  `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES' can  be used  to control  driver
      properties.  Example:

        FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=truetype:interpreter-version=35 \
                            cff:no-stem-darkening=1 \
                            autofitter:warping=1

      This allows to select, say, the subpixel hinting mode at runtime
      for a given application.  See file `ftoption.h' for more.

  II. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES

    - After  loading a  named instance  of  a GX  variation font,  the
      `face_index'  value  in  the returned  `FT_Face'  structure  now
      correctly holds the named instance  index in the upper 16bits as
      documented.

  III. MISCELLANEOUS

    - A new macro `FT_IS_NAMED_INSTANCE' to  test whether a given face
      is a named instance.

    - More fixes to GX font handling.

    - Apple's   `GETVARIATION'  bytecode   operator  (needed   for  GX
      variation font support) has been implemented.

    - Another round  of fuzzer fixes,  mainly to reject  invalid fonts
      faster.

    - Handling of raw CID fonts  was broken (bug introduced in version
      2.6.4).

    - The smooth rasterizer has been streamlined  to make it faster by
      approx. 20%.

    - The `ftgrid'  demo program now  understands command  line option
      `-d' to give start-up design coordinates.

    - The `ftdump' demo program has  a new command line option `-p' to
      dump TrueType bytecode instructions.

Log message:
FreeType 2.6.5
This release is almost identical to the previous version, with two differences.
* It compiles again on Mac OS X, and
* it reverts the activation of subpixel hinting by default; it will be enabled \ 
by default in the forthcoming 2.7.x series. Main reason for reverting this \ 
feature is the principle of least surprise: a sudden change in appearance of all \ 
fonts (even if the rendering improves for almost all recent fonts) should not be \ 
expected in a new micro version of a series.

Log message:
Changes 2.6.4:

FreeType 2.6.4 has been released. The most important change is a new bytecode \ 
hinting mode for TrueType fonts that finally activates subpixel hinting (a.k.a. \ 
ClearType hinting) by default.

The new release also brings support for the following new scripts in the \ 
auto-hinter: Armenian, Cherokee, Ethiopic, Georgian, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, \ 
Malayalam, Sinhala, and Tamil.

CHANGES BETWEEN 2.6.2 and 2.6.3

  I. IMPORTANT CHANGES

    - Khmer,  Myanmar, Bengali,  and Kannada  script support  has been
      added to the auto-hinter.

  II. MISCELLANEOUS

    - Better  support of  Indic  scripts like  Devanagari  by using  a
      top-to-bottom hinting flow.

    - All  FreeType macros  starting  with two  underscores have  been
      renamed to  avoid a violation of  both the C and  C++ standards.
      Example: Header  macros of the  form `__FOO_H__' are  now called
      `FOO_H_'.  In most cases,  this should be completely transparent
      to the user.   The exception to this  is `__FTERRORS_H__', which
      must be  sometimes undefined by  the user to get  FreeType error
      strings:  Both this  form and  the new  `FTERRORS_H_' macro  are
      accepted for backwards compatibility.

    - Minor improvements mainly to the Type 1 driver.

    - The  new CFF  engine now  supports all  Type 2  operators except
      `random'.

    - The macro `_STANDALONE_', used for  compiling the B/W and smooth
      rasterizers  as   stand-alone  modules,  has  been   renamed  to
      `STANDALONE_', since macro names starting with an underscore and
      followed by an uppercase letter are reserved in both C and C++.

    - Function  `FT_Library_SetLcdFilterWeights'  now  also  activates
      custom LCD filter weights (instead of just adjusting them).

    - Support for  `unpatented hinting'  has been  completely removed:
      Consequently,  the two  functions `FT_Face_CheckTrueTypePatents'
      and  `FT_Face_SetUnpatentedHinting'  now  return  always  false,
      doing nothing.

    - The `ftgamma' demo  program has been modernized;  the gamma grid
      display has been moved from `ftview' to this program.

    - It is now possible to  cycle through the available LCD fitlering
      modes.

Log message:
Update freetype2 to 2.6.2. Include file layout changed yet again, please
test dependent packages.

CHANGES BETWEEN 2.6 and 2.6.1

  I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES

    - It turned  out that for CFFs  only the advance widths  should be
      taken from the  `htmx' table, not the side  bearings.  This bug,
      introduced in  version 2.6.0, makes  it necessary to  upgrade if
      you are using  CFFs; otherwise, you get cropped  glyphs with GUI
      interfaces like GTK or Qt.

    - Accessing Type 42 fonts returned  incorrect results if the glyph
      order of the embedded TrueType font differs from the glyph order
      of the Type 42 charstrings table.

  II. IMPORTANT CHANGES

    - The header  file layout  has been  changed (again),  moving  all
      header files except `ft2build.h' into a subdirectory tree.

      Doing so  reduces the  possibility of  header file  name clashes
      (e.g., FTGL's  `FTGlyph.h' with FreeType's `ftglyph.h')  on case
      insensitive file systems like Mac OS X or Windows.

      Applications  that  use  (a)  the  `freetype-config'  script  or
      FreeType's `freetype2.pc' file for pkg-config to get the include
      directory  for the  compiler,  and (b)  the  documented way  for
      header inclusion like

        #include <ft2build.h>
        #include FT_FREETYPE_H
        ...

      don't need any change to the source code.

    - Simple access  to named instances  in GX variation fonts  is now
      available (in addition to the  previous method via FreeType's MM
      interface).   In  the `FT_Face'  structure,  bits  16-30 of  the
      `face_index' field hold the current named instance index for the
      given face  index, and bits  16-30 of `style_flags'  contain the
      number of  instances for  the given face  index.  `FT_Open_Face'
      and friends also understand the  extended bits of the face index
      parameter.

      You need to enable  TT_CONFIG_OPTION_GX_VAR_SUPPORT for this new
      feature.  Otherwise, bits  16-30 of the two fields  are zero (or
      are ignored).

    - Lao script support has been added to the auto-hinter.

  III. MISCELLANEOUS

    - The auto-hinter's Arabic script support has been enhanced.

    - Superscript-like and  subscript-like glyphs  as used  by various
      phonetic alphabets like the IPA  are now better supported by the
      auto-hinter.

    - The TrueType bytecode interpreter now runs slightly faster.

    - Improved support for builds with cmake.

    - The  function  `FT_CeilFix'  now   always  rounds  towards  plus
      infinity.

    - The  function  `FT_FloorFix'  now always  rounds  towards  minus
      infinity.

    - A  new load  flag `FT_LOAD_COMPUTE_METRICS'  has been  added; it
      makes FreeType  ignore pre-computed  metrics, as needed  by font
      validating  or  font  editing  programs.  Right  now,  only  the
      TrueType  module supports  it  to ignore  data  from the  `hdmx'
      table.

    - Another round of bug fixes  to better handle broken fonts, found
      by Kostya Serebryany <kcc@google.com>.

CHANGES BETWEEN 2.6.1 and 2.6.2

  I. IMPORTANT CHANGES

    - The auto-hinter now supports stem darkening, to be controlled by
      the    new   `no-stem-darkening'    and   `darkening-parameters'
      properties.   This is  an  experimental  feature contributed  by
      Nikolaus Waxweiler, and  the interface might change  in a future
      release.

    - By default, stem darkening is now switched off (for both the CFF
      engine and the  auto-hinter).  The main reason is  that you need
      linear  alpha  blending  and  gamma correction  to  get  correct
      rendering results, and  the latter is not yet  available in most
      freely  available  rendering  stacks like  X11.   Applying  stem
      darkening without proper gamma correction  leads to far too dark
      rendering results.

    - The   meaning  of   `FT_RENDER_MODE_LIGHT'  has   been  slightly
      modified.   It  now  essentially  means `no  hinting  along  the
      horizontal  axis'; in  particular,  no change  of glyph  advance
      widths.  Consequently, the auto-hinter  is used for all scalable
      font  formats  except  for  CFF.    It  is  planned  that  other
      font-specific rendering engines (TrueType, Type 1) will follow.

  II. MISCELLANEOUS

    - The default  LCD filter  has been changed  to be  normalized and
      color-balanced.

    - For    better    compatibility   with    FontConfig,    function
      `FT_Library_SetLcdFilter'  accepts   a  new   enumeration  value
      `FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY1'   (which  has   the   same  meaning   as
      `FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY').

    - A large number of bugs have been detected by using the libFuzzer
      framework,  which should  further  improve  handling of  invalid
      fonts.  Thanks again to Kostya Serebryany and Bungeman!

    - `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_MAX_RUNNABLE_OPCODES',  a   new  configuration
      option, controls the maximum number of executed opcodes within a
      bytecode program.  You don't want to change this except for very
      special  situations (e.g.,  making a  library fuzzer  spend less
      time to handle broken fonts).

    - The smooth renderer has been made faster.

    - The `ftstring'  demo program  now supports  sub-pixel rendering;
      use key `l' to cycle through the LCD modes.

    - The `ftstring'  demo program now supports  colour rendering; use
      the `space' key to cycle through various colour combinations.

    - The graphical demo programs now use a default gamma value of 1.8
      (instead of 1.2).
