Comment (by bdubbs):
Tarballs are now using xz compression.
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.
