FreeType 2.10.1 has been released. It is available from
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/freetype/ or http://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 PS: Downloads from savannah.nongnu.org will redirect to your nearest mirror site.

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 2.10.0 and 2.10.1 I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES - The bytecode hinting of OpenType variation fonts was flawed, since the data in the `CVAR' table wasn't correctly applied. II. MISCELLANEOUS - Auto-hinter support for Mongolian. - For distribution, `.tar.bz2' packages are replaced with `.tar.xz' bundles. - The handling of the default character in PCF fonts as introduced in version 2.10.0 was partially broken, causing premature abortion of charmap iteration for many fonts. - If `FT_Set_Named_Instance' was called with the same arguments twice in a row, the function returned an incorrect error code the second time. - Direct rendering using FT_RASTER_FLAG_DIRECT crashed (bug introduced in version 2.10.0). - Increased precision while computing OpenType font variation instances. - The flattening algorithm of cubic Bezier curves was slightly changed to make it faster. This can cause very subtle rendering changes, which aren't noticeable by the eye, however. - The auto-hinter now disables hinting if there are blue zones defined for a `style' (i.e., a certain combination of a script and its related typographic features) but the font doesn't contain any characters needed to set up at least one blue zone. - The `ftmulti' demo program now supports multiple hidden axes with the same name tag. - `ftview', `ftstring', and `ftgrid' got a `-k' command line option to emulate a sequence of keystrokes at start-up. - `ftview', `ftstring', and `ftgrid' now support screen dumping to a PNG file. - The bytecode debugger, `ttdebug', now supports variation TrueType fonts; a variation font instance can be selected with the new `-d' command line option. _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
