Regarding the public API, I think that the last one was when we added some fields to the FT_Bitmap_Size structure. This was _really_ bad. I think it was around 2.1.5 or 2.1.7 Some public APIs we consider experimental or in beta have changed though: the Cache subsystem and the style synthetizer I believe. Apart from that, I don't remember anything from a long time, though I may be wrong. Regarding the internals, a _lot_ have changed, and this has broken many third-party libraries which took the liberty of including the FreeType internal headers to peek at useful data instead of asking for a specific API or providing a patch. And this has repeatedly broken fontconfig, libXft, Pango and a few others.
