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
======================================================================
which report their English names through an Apple Roman
(platform,encoding) pair, with language_id != English
if the font uses another name entry with language_id == English,
it will be selected correctly though.
* src/truetype/ttobjs.c: add unpatent-hinting selection for
"mingli.ttf"
values which have the upper two bytes set to 0xFF instead of 0xFF
(as it happens in at least two CJKV fonts, `HAN NOM A.ttf' and
`HAN NOM B.ttf').
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c [GRAYS_USE_GAMMA]: Really remove all code.
Formatting.
Fix miscellaneous compiler warnings.
* freetype2/include/freetype/internal/ftobjs.h: close
comment with `*/' to avoid `/* in comment' compiler warning.
* freetype2/src/base/ftdbgmem.c (ft_mem_table_get_source): Turn
cast `(FT_UInt32)(void*)' into `(FT_UInt32)(FT_PtrDist)(void*)'
since on 64-bit platforms void* is larger than FT_UInt32.

away volatileness of argument to ft_longjmp. Spotted by
Werner `Putzfrau' Lemberg.
* freetype2/src/bdf/bdflib.c (bdf_load_font): initialize
local variable `lineno'.
* freetype2/src/gxvalid/gxvmod.c (classic_kern_validate):
mark local variable `error' volatile.
Fix for previous commit, which caused many compiler warnings/errors
about addresses of volatile objects passed as function arguments
as non-volatile pointers.

FT_Validator typedef a pointer to a volatile object.

argument `table' a pointer to a volatile object.

variable `_sfnt' as volatile since it must keep its value across
a call to ft_setjmp.
(gxv_validate): Same for local variables `memory' and `valid'.
(classic_kern_validate): Same for local variables `memory',
`ckern', and `valid'.
* freetype2/src/otvalid/otvmod.c (otv_validate): Same for function
parameter `face' and local variables `base', `gdef', `gpos', `gsub',
`jstf', and 'valid'.
* freetype2/src/sfnt/ttcmap.c (tt_face_build_cmaps): Same for
local variable `cmap'.
