   II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
 
+    - version 2.2 does not expose its internals anymore, i.e. the content
+      of 'include/freetype/internal' is not copied anymore by the
+      'make install' command. This means that this will *break* source
+      compatibility for a number of rogue clients that used to directly
+      access freetype internal functions and/or structures.
+      
+      we provide patches for most rogue clients. See the following page
+      for more information:

+
+      Note that, as a convenience to our Unix desktop users, 2.2 is
+      *binary* compatibly with FreeType 2.1.7, which means that installing
+      this release on an existing distribution shall not break any working
+      desktop.
