* include/freetype/ftlcdfil.h, src/freetype/ftlcdfil.c:
added a new API to support color filtering of subpixel glyph
bitmaps. In default build, the function FT_Library_SetLcdFilter
returns FT_Err_Unimplemented_Feature; you need to #define
FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING in ftoption.h to compile
the real implementation
* src/smooth/ftsmooth.c: adding support for sub-pixel color
filtering; simplifying a few function calls
* include/freetype/config/ftheader.h: adding FT_LCD_FILTER_H
macro that points to <freetype/ftlcdfil.h>
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.

sufficient to modify a single file, `modules.cfg', to control the
inclusion of modules and base extension files.
This change also fixes the creation of ftmodule.h; it now depends on
`modules.cfg' and thus is rebuilt only if necessary.
Finally, a version of `ftoption.h' in OBJ_DIR is preferred over the
default location.
* modules.cfg: New file.
* builds/freetype.mk: Don't include `modules.mk'.
Include all `rules.mk' files as specified in `modules.cfg'.
(FTOPTION_FLAG, FTOPTION_H): New variables.
(FT_CFLAGS): Add macro definition for FT_CONFIG_MODULES_H.

(make_module_list, clean_module_list): Replace targets
with...
(FTMODULE_H_INIT, FTMODULE_H_CREATE, FTMODULE_H_DONE): New
variables. Reason for the change is that it is not possible to have
a phony prerequisite which is run only if the target file must be
rebuilt (phony prerequisites act like subroutines and are *always*
executed). We only want to rebuild `ftmodule.h' if `module.cfg' is
changed.
Update all callers.
($FTMODULE_H)): Rule to create `ftmodule.h', depending on
`modules.cfg'.
* builds/toplevel.mk: Rewrite and simplify module handling.
(MODULES_CFG, FTMODULE_H): New variables.
Include MODULES_CFG.
(MODULES): New variable to include all `module.mk' and `rules.mk'
files. We no longer use make's `wildcard' function for this.
* Makefile (USE_MODULES): Remove. Update all users.

defined.

Test for unix-def.mk in OBJ_DIR, not BUILD_DIR (and invert the test
accordingly).

FT_QAlloc_Debug, FT_QRealloc_Debug, FT_Free_Debug)
[FT_STRICT_ALIASING]: Implement.
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 !!

* include/freetype/config/ftheader.h: remove inclusions of
internal headers, except if the macro FT2_BUILD_LIBRARY is defined.

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.
