I agree that it appears 2.6.3 would be preferable due to the fuzzing fixes. However, as freetype has a history of introducing behavior regressions on a fairly regular basis, this is not a straightforward change to make during feature freeze because it's not easy to regression-test. I don't believe I am in a position to drive this for 16.04.

There's quite a bit of interesting new features and stability fixes via fuzzing since 2.5.x. Have a look at www.freetype.org -> "More on the 2.6.2 release for users and developers". ------------------------------------------------------------------------- freetype (2.6.3-3) unstable; urgency=medium * Install the now-available-upstream manpages for freetype-demos. Closes: #131137. * Register all of the HTML documentation with doc-base. Closes: #451660. * Suppress lintian warning about symbols file declaring dependency on other package, which is entirely by design. -- Steve Langasek <[email protected]> Tue, 01 Mar 2016 06:43:44 +0000 freetype (2.6.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Adjust symbols file to actually produce invalid dependencies when internal symbols are used, as intended. -- Steve Langasek <[email protected]> Tue, 01 Mar 2016 03:29:18 +0000 freetype (2.6.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release. Closes: #812518, LP: #1521299 - stem darkening now disabled by default. Closes: #801370. * Avoid marking private symbols as supported from 2.6.1 on. Apparently dpkg-gensymbols doesn't do what I expected for this kind of declaration anyway, but we should at least avoid marking them wrong in the source. * Update to Standards-Version 3.9.7. -- Steve Langasek <[email protected]> Tue, 01 Mar 2016 00:04:14 +0000 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freetype/+bug/1521299/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
