FreeType 2.10.3 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 2.10.2 and 2.10.3 I. IMPORTANT CHANGES - New flag `FT_OUTLINE_OVERLAP'. If set, make the smooth rasterizer do 4x4 oversampling to mitigate artifacts in pixels partially covered by overlapping contours. Note that this at least quadruples the rendering time. If a glyph in a TrueType font has the `OVERLAP_SIMPLE' or `OVERLAP_COMPOUND' bit set, FreeType automatically selects this rendering mode. II. MISCELLANEOUS - Using the arcane method of including FreeType header files with macros like `FT_FREETYPE_H' is no longer mandatory (but retained as an optional feature for backward compatibility). - Support for building the library with Meson. Building the demo programs with Meson will follow in a forthcoming release. - Minor improvements to the B/W rasterizer. - Auto-hinter support for Medefaidrin script. - Fix various memory leaks (mainly for CFF) and other issues that might cause crashes in rare circumstances. - Jam support has been removed. - In `ftview', custom LCD filter values are now normalized and balanced. Unorthodox filters are still available through the `-L' command line option. - The GUI demo programs can now be resized. - Demo programs that accept command line option `-k' can now handle function keys, too. The corresponding character codes start with 0xF1. As an example, the POSIX shell syntax (accepted by bash, ksh, and zsh) -k $'\xF3q' emulates the pressing of function key `F3' followed by key `q'. _______________________________________________ Freetype-announce mailing list Freetype-announce@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-announce
