II. IMPORTANT CHANGES

- The automatic and postscript hinters have both been updated. This

results in a relatively important increase of rendering quality since

|
||||
|
||||
- Added support for the DESTDIR variable during "make install". This
|
||||
simplifies packaging of FreeType.
|
||||
|
||||
- The DocMaker tool used to generate the on-line API reference has been
|
||||
completely rewritten. It is now located in
|
||||
"src/tools/docmaker/docmaker.py". Features:
|
||||
|
||||
- better cross-referenced output
|
||||
- more polished output
|
||||
- uses Python regular expressions (though it didn't speed the
|
||||
program)
|
||||
- much more modular structure, which allows for different "backends"
|
||||
in order to generate HTML, XML, or whatever format.
|
||||
|

One can regenerate the API reference by calling:

- A new, experimental, support for incremental font loading (i.e.,
|
||||
loading of fonts where the glyphs are not in the font file itself, but
|
||||
provided by an external component, like a Postscript interpreter) has
|
||||
been added by Graham Asher. This is still work in progress, however.
|
||||
|
||||
- A new, experimental, path stroker has been added. It doesn't suffer
|
||||
from severe rounding errors and treat bezier arcs directly. Still
|
||||
work in progress (i.e. not part of the official API). See the file
|

<freetype/ftstroker.h> for some of the details.

- The massive re-formatting of sources and internal re-design is still

renamed.
|

|
||||
- The "load_flags" parameter of FT_Load_Glyph is now an FT_Int32
|
||||
(instead of just being an FT_Int). This breaks source and binary

compatibility for 16bit systems only, while retaining both of them for

FT_LOAD_MONOCHROME is still supported, but only affects rendering, not
|

the hinting.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the 'ftview' demo program available in the 'ft2demos' package
|

has been updated to support LCD-optimized display on non-paletted
|

displays (under Win32 and X11)
|

- The cache API has been slightly modified (it's still a beta after all!!):

|

- the type FTC_ImageDesc has been removed, it is now replaced by
|
||||
FTC_ImageTypeRec. Note that one of its fields is a 'load_flag'
|

parameter for FT_Load_Glyph
|
||||
|
||||
- the field "num_grays" of FT_SBitRec has been changed to "max_grays"
|

in order to fit within a single byte. Its maximum value is thus 255

(instead of 256 as previously)
