FreeType 2.3.2 has been released. It is available from
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/freetype/ or http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3157 The latter site also holds older versions of the FreeType library. See below for the relevant snippet from the CHANGES file; users of version 2.3.1 should upgrade. 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 2.3.2 and 2.3.1 I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES - FreeType returned incorrect kerning information from TrueType fonts when the bytecode interpreter was enabled. This happened due to a typo introduced in version 2.3.0. - Negative kerning values from PFM files are now reported correctly (they were read as 16-bit unsigned values from the file). - Fixed a small memory leak when `FT_Init_FreeType' failed for some reason. - The Postscript hinter placed and sized very thin and ghost stems incorrectly. - The TrueType bytecode interpreter has been fixed to get rid of most of the rare differences seen in comparison to the Windows font loader. II. IMPORTANT CHANGES - The auto-hinter now better deals with serifs and corner cases (e.g., glyph '9' in Arial at 9pt, 96dpi). It also improves spacing adjustments and doesn't change widths for non-spacing glyphs. - Many Mac-specific functions are deprecated (but still available); modern replacements have been provided for them. See the documentation in file `ftmac.h'. _______________________________________________ Freetype-announce mailing list Freetype-announce@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-announce
