FreeType 2.4.3 has been released. All users should upgrade.
It is available from http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/freetype/ or https://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/ The latter site also holds older versions of the FreeType library. See below for the relevant snippet from the CHANGES file. Enjoy! Werner ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeType 2 is a software font engine that is designed to be small, efficient, highly customizable, and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images) of most vector and bitmap font formats. Note that FreeType 2 is a font service and doesn't provide APIs to perform higher-level features, like text layout or graphics processing (e.g., colored text rendering, `hollowing', etc.). However, it greatly simplifies these tasks by providing a simple, easy to use, and uniform interface to access the content of font files. FreeType 2 is released under two open-source licenses: our own BSD-like FreeType License and the GPL. It can thus be used by any kind of projects, be they proprietary or not. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES - Fix rendering of certain cubic, S-shaped arcs. This regression has been introduced in version 2.4.0. II. MISCELLANEOUS - To fix the above mentioned rendering issue, a new spline flattening algorithm has been introduced which speeds up both conic and cubic arcs. - Handling of broken fonts has been further improved. _______________________________________________ Freetype-announce mailing list Freetype-announce@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-announce
