When building for ARMv7 with thumb2 instructions, the optimized
`FT_MulFix_arm' assembly routine was not being used.
The reason for this is in the `ftconfig.h' header, namely:
- The assembly routine uses the `smull' instruction which is not
available when generating Thumb-1 machine code. It is available
in Thumb-2 mode, though.
- The header was written a long time ago before Thumb-2 became
widely popular (e.g. with Android). So it simply doesn't use the
assembly routine if the `__thumb__' built-in macro is defined.
- When compiling in Thumb-2 mode, the compiler will define both
`__thumb__' and `__thumb2__'.
By checking for `(__thumb2__ || !__thumb__)', we ensure that the
assembly routine is only avoided when generating Thumb-1 code.
Given that this is performance-sensitive function, this improves
`ftbench' as follows on a Galaxy Nexus:

This work, written by Dave Arnold <darnold@adobe.com> and fully
integrated into FreeType by me, is a donation by Adobe in

This is the large, famous `Infinality' patch to support ClearType
bytecode which has been available from
http://www.infinality.net/blog/ for some time, and which has been
refined over the last years. While still experimental, it is now
mature enough to be included directly into FreeType.
Most of the code is based on the ClearType whitepaper written by
Greg Hitchcock
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx
which gives a detailed overview of the necessary changes to the
Microsoft rasterizer so that older fonts are supported. However, a
lot of details are still missing, and this patches provides a
framework to easily handle rendering issues down to the glyph level
of certain fonts.
Note that ClearType support is not completely implemented! In
particular, full support for the options `compatible_widths',
`symmetrical_smoothing, and `bgr' (via the GETINFO bytecode
instruction) is missing.
* src/truetype/ttsubpix.c: New file, providing code to handle
`tweaks', this is, rules for certain glyphs in certain fonts
(including wildcards) which need a special treatment.

Originally FT_MACINTOSH was a pure auto macro and DARWIN_NO_CARBON
was a configurable macro to disable Carbon-dependent code. Because
now configure script sets DARWIN_NO_CARBON by default and disables
Darwin & Carbon-dependent codes, these macros can be unified.
FT_MACINTOSH (undefined by default) is kept and DARWIN_NO_CARBON
(defined by default) is removed, because DARWIN_NO_CARBON violates
FT_XXX naming convention of public macros, and a macro configured by
default is not portable for the building without configure (e.g.
make devel).
* builds/unix/configure.raw: Define FT_MACINTOSH if Carbon-based
old Mac font support is requested and Carbon is available.

Ghostscript requires the incremental font interface for handling

extern const FT_Module_Class
(or similar for C++). However, the actual types of the variables
being declared are often different, e.g., FT_Driver_ClassRec or
FT_Renderer_Class. (Some are, indeed, FT_Module_Class.)
This works with most C compilers (since those structs begin with an
FT_Module_Class struct), but technically it's undefined behavior.
To quote the ISO/IEC 9899:TC2 final committee draft, section 6.2.7
paragraph 2:
All declarations that refer to the same object or function shall
have compatible type; otherwise, the behavior is undefined.
(And they are not compatible types.)
Most C compilers don't reject (or even detect!) code which has this
issue, but the GCC LTO development branch compiler does. (It
outputs the types of the objects while generating .o files, along
with a bunch of other information, then compares them when doing the
final link-time code generation pass.)

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

include/freetype/internal/ftmemory.h, src/base/ftdbgmem.c,
src/base/ftutil.c: udpating the memory management functions and
macros to safely deal with array size buffer overflows, this
corresponds to attemps to allocate arrays that are too large. For
an example, consider the following code:
count = read_uint32_from_file();
array = malloc( sizeof(Item) * count );
for ( nn = 0; nn < count; nn++ )
array[nn] = read_item_from_file();
if 'count' is larger than FT_UINT_MAX/sizeof(Item), the multiplication
will overflow and the array allocated will be smaller than the data
read from the file. In this case, the heap will be trashed, and this
can be used as a denial-of-service, or make the engine crash later.
the FT_ARRAY_NEW and FT_ARRAY_RENEW macro now check that the new
count is no more than FT_INT_MAX/item_size, otherwise, a new error,
named 'FT_Err_Array_Too_Large' will be returned.
note that the memory debugger now works again when FT_DEBUG_MEMORY
is defined, and FT_STRICT_ALIASING has disappeared, the corresponding
code being now the default.
