Hello everyone, I've just tagged the current CVS sources with VER-2-2-0 in the repository. This means that the official 2.2 release is now in preparation.
For the very impatient, there is a pre-autoconf'ed package at the following address: http://turnerdavid.neuf.fr/freetype/freetype-2.2.tar.bz2 For the record, I've finished my tour of "old" Linux distros, trying to install the current CVS in each one of them to see if it breaks things. I'm glad to say that I couldn't find any problem in the following ones: Sarge 3.1 Redhat 9 (Shrike) Fedora Core 2 CentOS 4 RHEL 4 Mandrake 9.2 Mandrake 10 Ubuntu 5.04 Ubuntu 5.10 Ubuntu Dapper Flight 6 that's largely enough for me, my time being more than limited. Of course, I don't guarantee that all packages were tested, but I tried at least to run Firefox, Open Office, GNUStep Terminal, XPDF and a few others, without problems. I could not reproduce the scaling bug that I describe in a previous post, so I'm wondering what I've been smoking at the time. Anyway, this looks like a very solid release, and I'm glad we're finally completing it. Of course, there still remains things to improve, but that will be for 2.2.1 or later.

I find this very sad, is there an autoconf hacker here that could get rid of this stupid dependency ? _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list Freetype@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
