David Turner 4e56c0d8e3 Simple ChangeLog update:
2004-06-23  David Turner   <david@freetype.org>

        * include/freetype/internal/ftmemory.h, src/base/ftutil.c,
        src/base/ftmemdbg.c: introducing the new FT_QAlloc and FT_QRealloc
        functions that do perform allocation without zero-ing out the
        corresponding blocks. Corresponding macros like FT_QALLOC, FT_QNEW,
        etc.. have been defined too

        * include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h: changed the order of modules
        in order to _dramatically_ improve the performance of face open/close
        operations. For example, putting the TrueType driver first in the
        list results in a 5X speedup when opening Vera.ttf !!

        The problem is really that the PCF and/or BDF drivers are broken
        and do a lot more than necessary simply to detect that they
        cannot handle the font file.

        * src/sfnt/ttload.c: small optimization in the kerning table
        verifier, speeds up TrueType face opening by about 7%.

        Also changed code to use the new FT_QNEW_ARRAY call when
        appropriate to slightly improve performance.

README

  Special notes to Unix users
  ===========================

  Please  read  the file  "docs/UPGRADE.UNX".   It contains  important
  information regarding the installation  of FreeType on Unix systems,
  especially GNU based operating systems like GNU/Linux.

  FreeType 2's  library is called `libfreetype',  FreeType 1's library
  is called `libttf'.  They are *not* compatible!


  FreeType 2.1.9
  ==============

  Please read the docs/CHANGES file, it contains IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

  Read the files "docs/INSTALL" for installation instructions.

  Note  that  the FreeType  2  documentation  is  now available  as  a
  separate package from our sites.  See:

    ftp://ftp.freetype.org/freetype/freetype2/ftdocs-2.1.9.tar.bz2
    ftp://ftp.freetype.org/freetype/freetype2/ftdocs-2.1.9.tar.gz
    ftp://ftp.freetype.org/freetype/freetype2/ftdoc219.zip


  Bugs
  ====

  Please report bugs by  e-mail to `devel@freetype.org'.  Don't forget
  to send  a detailed explanation of  the problem --  there is nothing
  worse  than receiving  a terse  message that  only says  "it doesn't
  work".


  Enjoy!


    The FreeType Team
