LATEST CHANGES BETWEEN 2.0.5 and 2.0.4
NOTE THAT 2.0.5 DOES NOT CONTAIN THE POSTSCRIPT HINTER. THIS MODULE WILL
BE PART OF THE NEXT RELEASE (EITHER 2.0.6 or 2.1)
- fixed a bug that made certain glyphs, like "Cacute", "cacute" and "lslash"
unavailable from Unicode charmaps of Postscript fonts. This prevented the
correct display of Polish text, for example.
- the kerning table of Type 1 fonts was loaded by FreeType, when its AFM
file was attached to its face, but the FT_FACE_FLAG_HAS_KERNING bit flags
was not set correctly, preventing FT_Get_Kerning to return meaningful
values..
- improved SFNT (TrueType & OpenType) charmap support. Slightly better
performance, as well as support for the new formats defined by the
OpenType 1.3 specification (8, 10 and 12)
- fixed a serious typo in "src/base/ftcalc.c" which caused invalid
computations in certain rare cases, producing ugly artefacts..
- the size of the EM square is computed with a more accurate algorithm
for Postscript fonts. The old one caused slight errors with embedded
fonts found in PDF documents..
- fixed a bug in the cache manager that prevented normal LRU behaviour
within the cache manager, causing unecessary reloads (for FT_Face and
FT_Size objects only)
- added a new function named "FT_Get_Name_Index" to retrieve the glyph
index of a given glyph name, when found in a face.
- fixed a reallocation bug that generated a dangling pointer (and possibly
memory leaks) with Postscript fonts (in src/psaux/psobjs.c)
- many 16-bit correctness fixes
- removed many pedantic compiler warnings from the sources
- added an Amiga build directory in "builds/amiga"
============================================================================
LATEST CHANGES BETWEEN 2.0.4 and 2.0.3
- Fixed a rather annoying bug that was introduced in 2.0.3. Namely, the
