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/*: s/scale/scaling value/ where appropriate.
Many other minor documentation improvements.
* src/tools/docmaker/sources.py (re_italic, re_bold): Handle
trailing punctuation.
* src/tools/docmaker/tohtml.py (HtmlFormatter::make_html_word): Add
warning message for undefined cross references.
Update handling of re_italic and re_bold.

src/psaux/afmparse.c, src/sfnt/ttbdf.c, src/tools/apinames.c,
src/truetype/ttdriver.c:
solved compiler warnings as well as C++ compilation problems
include/internal/services/svtteng.h, src/base/ftobjs.c,
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.
to enable autofit CJK script support. (#define'd by default)
* src/autofit/aflatin.h (AF_LATIN_CONSTANT): New macro.
* src/autofit/aflatin.c (af_latin_metrics_init_widths): Make sure that
`edge_distance_threshold' is always set.
(af_latin_hints_link_segments): Potential divide by 0 bug.
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.
Use FT_LOCAL.
