FreeType 2.4.5 has been released.
It is available from
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/freetype/
or
http://sourceforge.net/project/freetype/files/
The latter site also holds older versions of the FreeType library.
See below for the relevant snippet from the CHANGES file;
Thanks again for your invaluable help in testing ttfautohint!
My pleasure. Very keen to see a working autohinter available to font
designers :)
The feedback i'm getting from my screenshots is that the ttfautohint
output is overall superior under DirectWrite to the original hinted
I am curious - as i understand it(?) ttfautohint uses freetype to
find snap zones etc from which it bases it's TT instructions output.
I've copied a large part of the autofit module into ttfautohint;
additionally, I'm calling some FreeType routines for generic reading
and parsing of the input
