In particular, local extrema without horizontal or vertical segments
are better recognized:
+ A + D
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ + C
\ /
B +/
If the distances AB and CD are large, point B wasn't previously
detected as an extremum since the `ft_corner_is_flat' function
`swallowed' BC regardless of its direction, tagging point B as weak.
The next iteration started at B and made `ft_corner_is_flat' swallow
point C, tagging it as weak also, et voilà.
To improve that, another pass gets now performed before calling
`ft_corner_is_flat' to improve the `topology' of an outline: A
sequence of non-horizontal or non-vertical vectors that point into
the same quadrant are handled as a single, large vector.
Additionally, distances of near points are now accumulated, which
makes the auto-hinter handle them as if they were prepended to the
next non-near vector.
This generally improves the auto-hinter's rendering results.
* src/autofit/afhints.c (af_glyph_hints_reload): Implement it.
* src/autofit/afhints.h (AF_FLAGS): Remove no longer used flag
`AF_FLAG_NEAR'.
Problem reported by Karsten Lücke <karsten.luecke@kltf.de>.
The new algorithm takes care of the width of stems: If the distance
between two segments is larger than the largest stem width, the
demerits quickly increase for larger distances. This improves
hinting of slanted fonts (especially if the inner parts of serifs
have non-horizontal `shoulders'), avoiding false stem links.
* src/autofit/aflatin.c (af_latin_hints_link_segments): Use largest
stem width (if available) to compute better demerits for distances
between stems.
(af_latin_hints_detect_features): Pass stem width array and array
size.
(af_latin_metrics_init_widths): Updated to use original algorithm.
(af_latin_hints_apply): Updated to use new algorithm.
* src/autofit/aflatin.h: Updated.
* src/autofit/afcjk.c: Updated.
Work around a bug in pkg-config version 0.28 and earlier: If a
variable value gets surrounded by doublequotes (in particular values
for the `prefix' variable), the prefix override mechanism fails.
* builds/unix/freetype2.in: Don't use doublequotes.
* builds/unix/unix-def.in (freetype.pc): Escape spaces in directory
names with backslashes.
Based on a patch from Marek Kašík <mkasik@redhat.com>.
* builds/unix/configure.raw (LIBS_CONFIG): Remove.
* builds/unix/freetype-config.in (libs): Hard-code value.
* builds/unix/unix-def.in: Updated.
This works around a problem with HarfBuzz (<= 0.9.26), which doesn't
validate glyph indices returned by
`hb_ot_layout_lookup_collect_glyphs'.
* src/autofit/hbshim.c (af_get_coverage): Guard `idx'.
* docs/CHANGES: Updated.
=========================
Tag sources with `VER-2-5-3'.
* docs/VERSION.DLL: Update documentation and bump version number to
2.5.3.

* include/freetype/freetype.h (FREETYPE_PATCH): Set to 3.
* builds/unix/configure.raw (version_info): Set to 17:2:11.
* CMakeLists.txt (VERSION_PATCH): Set to 3.
* docs/CHANGES: Updated.
* builds/freetype.mk (INCLUDE_FLAGS) [DEVEL_DIR]: Don't use
pkg-config for bzip2 since not all GNU/Linux distributions have
`bzip2.pc' (and the header file `bzlib.h' is located in /usr/include
normally).
o Introduce `auto' value for `--with-XXX' library options; this is
now the default.
o First use `pkg-config' for library detection, then fall back to
other tests.
* builds/unix/configure.raw (--with-zlib, --with-bzip2, --with-png,
--with-harfbuzz): Rewrite.
Use new `xxx_reqpriv', `xxx_libpriv', and `xxx_libstaticconf'
variables to collect data for `freetype2.pc' and `freetype-config'.
(FT2_EXTRA_LIBS): Renamed to ...
(ft2_extra_libs): This since it gets no longer substituted.
(REQUIRES_PRIVATE, LIBS_PRIVATE, LIBS_CONFIG, LIBSSTATIC_CONFIG):
New output variables, replacing `XXX_PKG' and `LIBXXX'.
Add notice at the end of `configure' showing the library
configuration.
* builds/unix/freetype-config.in (--static): New command line
option.
(libs): Updated.
(staticlibs): New variable, to be used if `--static' is given.
* builds/doc/freetype-config.1: Document `--static'.
* builds/unix/freetype2.in, builds/unix/unix-def.in: Updated.
Problem reported by Hin-Tak Leung <htl10@users.sourceforge.net>.
* builds/unix/configure.raw: Don't use gcc's `-pedantic' flag for
versions < 4.6. This is especially needed for Max OS X since this
OS runs a gcc variant (or emulation) based on version 4.2.1.
* src/cff/cf2ft.c (cf2_initLocalRegionBuffer,
cf2_initGlobalRegionBuffer): It is possible for a charstring to call
a subroutine if no subroutines exist. This is an error but should
not trigger an assert. Split the assert to account for this.
* src/cff/cf2hints.c (cf2_hintmap_build): Return when `hintMask' is
invalid. In this case, it is not safe to use the length of
`hStemHintArray'; the exception has already been recorded in
`hintMask'.
bdflib puts data from the input stream into a buffer in chunks of
1024 bytes. The data itself gets then parsed line by line, simply
increasing the current pointer into the buffer; if the search for
the final newline character exceeds the buffer size, more data gets
read.
However, in case the current line's end is very near to the buffer
end, and the keyword to compare with is longer than the current
line's length, an out-of-bounds read might happen since `memcmp'
doesn't stop properly at the string end.
* src/bdf/bdflib.c: s/ft_memcmp/ft_strncmp/ to make comparisons
stop at string ends.
The build target is now `windows' instead of `win32'.
Problem reported by Nickolas George <darknova.clan@gmail.com>.
* builds/modules.mk: Don't use `win32' and `win16' (!) but
`windows'.
* builds/windows/detect.mk, builds/windows/win32-def.mk:
s/win32/windows/.
