I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- Various integer overflows have been fixed.
- PFB fonts with MacOS resource fork weren't handled correctly on
non-MacOS platforms.
- The PCF font loarder has been seriously hardened against malformed
font files.
II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
- the unpatented hinter is now part of the default build of the
library, and we added code to automatically support "tricky"
fonts that need it.
what this means is that FreeType should "just work" with certain
Asian fonts, like MingLiu, which cannot properly load without a
bytecode interpreter, but fortunately do not use any of the
patented bytecode opcodes.
Note that the API didn't change, so you can still force
unpatented hinting with a special parameter to FT_Open_Face
as well.
if you're an embedded systems developer, you might want to
*disable* the feature to save code space by undefining
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_UNPATENTED_HINTING in ftoption.h.
- LCD-optimized rendering is now disabled in all default builds
of the library, mainly due to patent reasons. For more information
see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freetype/2006-09/msg00064.html
a new configuration macro FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING has
been introduced in ftoption.h; manually define it in this file
if you want to re-enable the feature.
the change only affects the implementation, not the FreeType API.
This means that clients don't need to be modified, because the
library still generates LCD decimated bitmaps, but with the added
constraint that R=G=B on each triplet.
- Some computation bugs in the TrueType bytecode interpreter were found,
which allow us to get rid of very subtle and rare differences we had
with the Windows renderer.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
- TrueType glyph loading is now about 25% faster.
- the anti-aliased rasterizer has been optimized and is now 15% to 25%
percent faster than the previous one, depending on content
- the Type 1 loader has been improved; as an example, it now skips
over top-level dictionaries properly

src/truetype/ttdriver.c:
adding a new API named FT_Get_TrueType_Engine_Type to determine
wether we have a patented, unpatented or unimplemented TrueType
bytecode interpreter.
the FT_Get_Module_Flags API was removed consequently.

Use latin constant in the scoring formula.
* src/autofit/afcjk.c: Minor updates due to the above three changes.
* docs/TODO, docs/CHANGES: Updated.
the warp hinter isn't active (it shouldn't, still experimental)
* Jamfile, include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h: removed "gxvalid"
and "otvalid" from the list of modules that are linked statically
to a given FreeType library. Functionality has been moved to the
"ftvalid" CVS module.
note also that current Make-based build system still compiles the
modules though...
* include/freetype/config/ftoption.h: added FT_STRICT_ALIASING,
which controls the definitions of the memory management functions
to avoid warnings with recent versions of GCC. this macro is
only here to be disabled, in case we detect problems with the
new scheme.
NOTE: disable macro to use the memory debugger. this will be fixed
later !!

src/sfnt/Jamfile, src/sfnt/rules.mk, src/sfnt/sfdriver.c,
src/sfnt/ttbdf.h, src/sfnt/ttbdf.c, src/sfnt/sfobjs.c:
Added support for an embedded 'BDF ' table within SFNT-based
bitmap font files. This is used to store atoms & properties from
the original BDF fonts that were used to generate the font file.
the feature is controled by TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BDF within 'ftoption.h'
and is used to implement FT_Get_BDF_Property for these font files.
At the moment, this is still experimental, the BDF table format isn't
cast into stone yet.
src/truetype/ttpload.c, src/truetype/ttpload.h, src/truetype/ttgload.c:
added the temporary configuration FT_OPTIMIZE_MEMORY to control various
optimizations used to reduce the heap footprint of memory-mapped TrueType
files.
* src/truetype/ttpload.c (tt_face_load_loca, tt_face_get_location,
tt_face_done_loca): when FT_OPTIMIZE_MEMORY is set, the locations table
is read directly from memory-mapped streams, instead of being decoded
into the heap.
* src/truetype/ttpload.c: only load the CVT and fpgm tables when the
bytecode interpreter is compiled in.
in the memory debugger. Also a new function FT_DumpMemory() was added.
It is only available in builds with FT_DEBUG_MEMORY defined, and you
must declare it in your own code to use it, i.e. with something
like:
extern void FT_DumpMemory( FT_Memory );
...
FT_DumpMemory( memory );
* include/freetype/config/ftoptions.h: disabling TrueType bytecode
interpreter !
* include/freetype/internal/ftmemory.h: adding FT_ARRAY_ZERO, as a
convenience macro.
fixed a dangling pointer bug that happened in very rare cases:
i.e. when a new family object was destroyed by an out-of-memory
condition during a glyph node initialization. The function
FTC_Cache_Lookup would flush the cache and restart the lookup
with a bad pointer.
* src/cache/ftcmanag.c: fixed a cache flushing bug
* src/pcf/pcfutil.c: Use FT_LOCAL_DEF.
* src/pcf/pcfutil.h: Include FT_CONFIG_CONFIG_H.
Use FT_BEGIN_HEADER and FT_END_HEADER.

TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
include/freetype/internal/ftobjs.h, include/freetype/internal/tttypes.h,
src/truetype/ttinterp.c, src/truetype/ttobjs.c, src/truetype/ttobjs.h:
changed the name of TT_CONFIG_OPTION_COMPILE_UNPATENTED_HINTING to
the simpler TT_CONFIG_OPTION_UNPATENTED_HINTING
removed the macro TT_CONFIG_OPTION_FORCE_UNPATENTED_HINTING. Instead,
the same effect can be used by setting a debug-hook with
FT_DEBUG_HOOK_UNPATENTED_HINTING globally with FT_Set_Debug_Hook()
[TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER]: Call
FT_GlyphLoader_CheckPoints before adding phantom points. This fixes
a segfault bug with fonts (e.g. htst3.ttf) which have nested

* include/freetype/config/ftoption.h: Define
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER,
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_COMPILE_UNPATENTED_HINTING, and
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_FORCE_UNPATENTED_HINTING to make it the new
default.
* include/freetype/config/ftoption.h [FT_CONFIG_OPTION_MAC_FONTS]:

* include/freetype/config/ftoption.h, src/autohint/ahglobal.h,
src/autohint/ahglobal.c, src/autohint/ahglyph.c,
src/autohint/ahtypes.h:
included David Chester's patches to the auto-hinter in order to
slightly improve the output. Note that everything is controlled
through the new FT_CONFIG_OPTION_CHESTER_HINTS defined at the
end of "ftoption.h", there are also individual FT_CONFIG_CHESTER_XXX
macros to control individual "features".
Note that all improvements are enabled by default, but can be
tweaked for optimization and testing purpose. The configuration
macros will most likely disappear in the short future.
2003-01-11 David Turner <david@freetype.org>
* include/freetype/internal/fnttypes.h: fixed a structure field
definition to avoid memory overwrites
* include/freetype/config/ftoption.h, src/gzip/ftgzip.c: added
support for the FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SYSTEM_ZLIB option, used to specify
the use of system-wide zlib.
Note that this macro, as well as FT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER,
is not #undef-ed anymore. This allows the build system to define them
depending on the configuration (typically by adding -D flags at
compile time).
* src/sfnt/ttcmap0.c (tt_face_build_cmaps): removed compiler warnings
in optimized mode relative to the "volatile" local variables. This was
not a compiler bug after all, but the fact that a pointer to a volatile
variable is not the same than a volatile pointer to a variable :-)
the fix was to change "volatile FT_Byte* p"
into "FT_Byte* volatile p"
* src/pfr/pfrload.c, src/pfr/pfrdrivr.c, src/gzip/inftrees.c: removed
compiler warnings in optimized modes
* src/gzip/*.[hc]: modified our ZLib copy in order to prevent exporting
any zlib function names outside of the component. This prevents linking
problems on some platforms, when applications want to link FreeType
_and_ ZLib together.
2002-11-05 Juliusz <jch@pps.jussieu.fr>

* include/freetype/internal/fttrace.h: new file to define the trace
levels used for debugging. it is used both to define enums and
toggle names for FT2_DEBUG

FT_ASSERT
* include/freetype/internal/ftextend.h, src/base/ftextend.c,

aren't capable of directly computing a floating pointer constant casted
to FT_Fixed, and will link a math library instead !!
some of the exported functions should only be used by applications
that need to implement custom cache types
* src/truetype/ttgload.c: fixed a nasty bug that prevent composites
from loading correctly. Believe it or not, this was due to an invalid
macro definition !!

* include/freetype/fterrors.h (FT_NOERRORDEF): New macro.
(FT_ERRORDEF): Redefined to use module error offsets.
All internal error codes are now public; unused error codes have
been removed, some are new.
* include/freetype/config/ftheader.h (FT_MODULE_ERRORS_H): New
macro.
* include/freetype/config/ftoption.h
(FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_MODULE_ERRORS): New macro.
All other source files have been updated to use the new error codes;
some already existing (internal) error codes local to a module have
been renamed to give them the same name as in the base module.
All make files have been updated to include the local error files.

fixed-point square root. it is now used even with 64-bits
ints, as it's simply _much_ faster than calling FT_Sqrt64 :-)
* src/base/ftbbox.c : removed invalid "#include FT_BEZIER_H" line
types on platforms where Autoconf is not available). Also removed
FTCALC_USE_LONG_LONG and replaced it with FT_CONFIG_OPTION_FORCE_INT64

create a DLL yet..
* cffgload.c: removed a compilation warning
* include/freetype/config/ftheader.h: removed obsolete macros like
FT_SOURCE_FILE, etc.. and added cache-specific macro definitions that
were previously defined in <freetype/ftcache.h>. Added comments to be
included in a new API Reference section.
* src/*/*: removed the use of FT_SOURCE_FILE, etc.. now, each component
needs to added its own directory to the include path at compile time.
Modified all "rules.mk" and "descrip.mms" accordingly..
`__' (those which haven't converted yet). Fixed minor conversion
issues.
* src/winfonts/winfnt.c: Updated to new header inclusion scheme.
* */*.[ch]: Changed source files to adhere to the new
* src/cff/cff.c, src/cff/rules.mk: Updated.
* */*.[ch]: Now using <ft2build.h> as the default build and setup
as the build directory. This is used to specify a specific
"ftoption.h" that toggles all traces and logging on.
Hence, the default build doesn't need the traces
- disabled the TrueType interpreter by default
- disabled the "type1" driver, "type1z" is now used
by default (the internal driver name is "type1" now !!)
to access individual glyph names. Changed some
drivers to support it through a new interface named
"glyph_name".
- introduced FT_Get_Sfnt_Name (see ftnames.h)
to access the SFNT name table in a TrueType/OpenType
file..
Moving some internal structures and constants from freetype.h to ftobjs.h.
Finally removing FT_LOAD_ANTI_ALIAS.
Cleaning up all error codes. Only the used ones have survived :-)
Removed unused FT_MAX_GLYPH_FORMATS constant.
T2 error codes are now in the range 0x500-0x5FF (instead of `TrueDoc').
Some minor improvements of error return values.
Finally fixing error code values in ftraster and ftgrays to be compliant
with all other FT error codes.
A lot of internal modifications have been performed lately on the
source in order to provide the following enhancements:
- more generic module support:
The FT_Module type is now defined to represent a handle to a given
module. The file <freetype/ftmodule.h> contains the FT_Module_Class
definition, as well as the module-loading public API
The FT_Driver type is still defined, and still represents a pointer
to a font driver. Note that FT_Add_Driver is replaced by FT_Add_Module,
FT_Get_Driver by FT_Get_Module, etc..
- support for generic glyph image types:
The FT_Renderer type is a pointer to a module used to perform various
operations on glyph image.
Each renderer is capable of handling images in a single format
(e.g. ft_glyph_format_outline). Its functions are used to:
- transform an glyph image
- render a glyph image into a bitmap
- return the control box (dimensions) of a given glyph image
The scan converters "ftraster.c" and "ftgrays.c" have been moved
to the new directory "src/renderer", and are used to provide two
default renderer modules.
One corresponds to the "standard" scan-converter, the other to the
"smooth" one.
The current renderer can be set through the new function
FT_Set_Renderer.
The old raster-related function FT_Set_Raster, FT_Get_Raster and
FT_Set_Raster_Mode have now disappeared, in favor of the new:
FT_Get_Renderer
FT_Set_Renderer
see the file <freetype/ftrender.h> for more details..
These changes were necessary to properly support different scalable
formats in the future, like bi-color glyphs, etc..
- glyph loader object:
A new internal object, called a 'glyph loader' has been introduced
in the base layer. It is used by all scalable format font drivers
to load glyphs and composites.
This object has been created to reduce the code size of each driver,
as each one of them basically re-implemented its functionality.
See <freetype/internal/ftobjs.h> and the FT_GlyphLoader type for
more information..
- FT_GlyphSlot had new fields:
In order to support extended features (see below), the FT_GlyphSlot
structure has a few new fields:
linearHoriAdvance: this field gives the linearly scaled (i.e.
scaled but unhinted) advance width for the glyph,
expressed as a 16.16 fixed pixel value. This
is useful to perform WYSIWYG text.
linearVertAdvance: this field gives the linearly scaled advance
height for the glyph (relevant in vertical glyph
layouts only). This is useful to perform
WYSIWYG text.
Note that the two above field replace the removed "metrics2" field
in the glyph slot.
advance: this field is a vector that gives the transformed
advance for the glyph. By default, it corresponds
to the advance width, unless FT_LOAD_VERTICAL_LAYOUT
was specified when calling FT_Load_Glyph or FT_Load_Char
bitmap_left: this field gives the distance in integer pixels from
the current pen position to the left-most pixel of
a glyph image WHEN IT IS A BITMAP. It is only valid
when the "format" field is set to
"ft_glyph_format_bitmap", for example, after calling
the new function FT_Render_Glyph.
bitmap_top: this field gives the distance in integer pixels from
the current pen position (located on the baseline) to
the top-most pixel of the glyph image WHEN IT IS A
BITMAP. Positive values correspond to upwards Y.
loader: this is a new private field for the glyph slot. Client
applications should not touch it..
- support for transforms and direct rendering in FT_Load_Glyph:
Most of the functionality found in <freetype/ftglyph.h> has been
moved to the core library. Hence, the following:
- a transform can be specified for a face through FT_Set_Transform.
this transform is applied by FT_Load_Glyph to scalable glyph images
(i.e. NOT TO BITMAPS) before the function returns, unless the
bit flag FT_LOAD_IGNORE_TRANSFORM was set in the load flags..
- once a glyph image has been loaded, it can be directly converted to
a bitmap by using the new FT_Render_Glyph function. Note that this
function takes the glyph image from the glyph slot, and converts
it to a bitmap whose properties are returned in "face.glyph.bitmap",
"face.glyph.bitmap_left" and "face.glyph.bitmap_top". The original
native image might be lost after the conversion.
- when using the new bit flag FT_LOAD_RENDER, the FT_Load_Glyph
and FT_Load_Char functions will call FT_Render_Glyph automatically
when needed.
Tons of unnecessary stuff have been removed; only the essential rules
have been retained.
The source files now depend on all header files in include/freetype,
include/freetype/config, and include/freetype/internal. This is not
optimal, I know, and I'll try to improve this, but it is better than
before (namely no dependencies on `internal').
FTDEBUG_SRC has been added (similar to FTSYS_SRC) -- I don't know
exactly whether this is really useful, but it doesn't harm.
There is now more documentation in the makefiles itself.
io-frames.html: Use of <th>, <code>, and <var> for better tagging.
Reactivating of FT_DEBUG_LEVEL_xxx macros.
Added a lot of #include directives to make `multi' builds possible -- note
that currently the modules cid, t1, and t1z have clashing structures and
functions which means that you can only use one of these three modules for a
multi build.
Added some missing function declarations to (local) header files.
Renamed some T1_Open_Face() to CID_Open_Face() in the cid module -- a lot
of other functions should be renamed also...
Replaced many FT_xxx stuff with T1_xxx in t1z driver -- this isn't finished
yet...
Fixed FT_Free() to allow a NULL pointer without an assertion (this has
always been a valid assumption in FreeType, at least in FT 1.x).
A lot of other, minor fixes (mostly documentation).
limit on the number of subglyphs in a TrueType font..
changed the default number of gray levels used by the
smooth renderer to 256 (instead of 128). Of course, the

compiler warnings with GCC + "-ansi -pedantic -Wall -W"
and LCC.
Also fixed the compilation of "type1z" with Win32-LCC
(its pre-processor is broken !!)
Updated the BUILD document too
