I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- Various integer overflows have been fixed.
- PFB fonts with MacOS resource fork weren't handled correctly on
non-MacOS platforms.
- The PCF font loarder has been seriously hardened against malformed
font files.
II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
- the unpatented hinter is now part of the default build of the
library, and we added code to automatically support "tricky"
fonts that need it.
what this means is that FreeType should "just work" with certain
Asian fonts, like MingLiu, which cannot properly load without a
bytecode interpreter, but fortunately do not use any of the
patented bytecode opcodes.
Note that the API didn't change, so you can still force
unpatented hinting with a special parameter to FT_Open_Face
as well.
if you're an embedded systems developer, you might want to
*disable* the feature to save code space by undefining
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_UNPATENTED_HINTING in ftoption.h.
- LCD-optimized rendering is now disabled in all default builds
of the library, mainly due to patent reasons. For more information
see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freetype/2006-09/msg00064.html
a new configuration macro FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING has
been introduced in ftoption.h; manually define it in this file
if you want to re-enable the feature.
the change only affects the implementation, not the FreeType API.
This means that clients don't need to be modified, because the
library still generates LCD decimated bitmaps, but with the added
constraint that R=G=B on each triplet.
- Some computation bugs in the TrueType bytecode interpreter were found,
which allow us to get rid of very subtle and rare differences we had
with the Windows renderer.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
- TrueType glyph loading is now about 25% faster.
- the anti-aliased rasterizer has been optimized and is now 15% to 25%
percent faster than the previous one, depending on content
- the Type 1 loader has been improved; as an example, it now skips
over top-level dictionaries properly
======================================================================
src/cache/ftcsbits.h, src/cache/ftcmanag.h, src/cache/ftccmap.h,
src/cache/ftcmru.h: copying the cache's internal header files which
were located in 'include/freetype/cache' to the 'src/cache' directory
instead.
Note that these files are not used by FreeType clients, all cache
public APIs have been already moved to include/freetype/ftcache.h,
and the FT_CACHE_INTERNAL_XXXX_H macros all resolve to it.
the move is to allow us to modify the internals without intereference
from rogue clients. Note that there are no known client that accesses
the cache internals at the moment.
to enable autofit CJK script support. (#define'd by default)
* src/autofit/aflatin.h (AF_LATIN_CONSTANT): New macro.
* src/autofit/aflatin.c (af_latin_metrics_init_widths): Make sure that
`edge_distance_threshold' is always set.
(af_latin_hints_link_segments): Potential divide by 0 bug.
Use latin constant in the scoring formula.
* src/autofit/afcjk.c: Minor updates due to the above three changes.
* docs/TODO, docs/CHANGES: Updated.
sufficient to modify a single file, `modules.cfg', to control the
inclusion of modules and base extension files.
This change also fixes the creation of ftmodule.h; it now depends on
`modules.cfg' and thus is rebuilt only if necessary.
Finally, a version of `ftoption.h' in OBJ_DIR is preferred over the
default location.
* modules.cfg: New file.
* builds/freetype.mk: Don't include `modules.mk'.
Include all `rules.mk' files as specified in `modules.cfg'.
(FTOPTION_FLAG, FTOPTION_H): New variables.
(FT_CFLAGS): Add macro definition for FT_CONFIG_MODULES_H.
Add FTOPTION_FLAG.
($(FT_INIT_OBJ)): Don't use FT_MODULE_LIST.
(CONFIG_H): Add FTMODULE_H and FTOPTION_H.
(INCLUDES): Add DEVEL_DIR.
(INCLUDE_FLAGS, FTSYS_SRC, FTSYS_OBJ, FTDEBUG_SRC, FTDEBUG_OBJ,
OBJ_M, OBJ_S): Use `:=', not `='.
(remove_ftmodule_h): New phony target to delete `ftmodule.h'.
(distclean): Add remove_ftmodule_h.
* builds/modules.mk: (MODULE_LIST): Removed.
(make_module_list, clean_module_list): Replace targets
with...
(FTMODULE_H_INIT, FTMODULE_H_CREATE, FTMODULE_H_DONE): New
variables. Reason for the change is that it is not possible to have
a phony prerequisite which is run only if the target file must be
rebuilt (phony prerequisites act like subroutines and are *always*
executed). We only want to rebuild `ftmodule.h' if `module.cfg' is
changed.
Update all callers.
($FTMODULE_H)): Rule to create `ftmodule.h', depending on
`modules.cfg'.
* builds/toplevel.mk: Rewrite and simplify module handling.
(MODULES_CFG, FTMODULE_H): New variables.
Include MODULES_CFG.
(MODULES): New variable to include all `module.mk' and `rules.mk'
files. We no longer use make's `wildcard' function for this.
* Makefile (USE_MODULES): Remove. Update all users.
(OBJ_DIR): Define it here.
* src/*/module.mk: Change
make_module_list: foo
foo: ...
to
FTMODULE_H_COMMANDS += FOO
define FOO
...
endef
in all files. `FTMODULE_H_COMMANDS' is used in `FTMODULE_H_CREATE'.
* src/base/rules.mk (BASE_EXT_SRC): Use BASE_EXTENSIONS.
* builds/unix/detect.mk (setup): Always execute `configure' script.
(have_mk): Rename to...
(have_Makefile): This.
Don't use `strip' function.
* builds/unix/unix.mk: Include `install.mk' only if BUILD_PROJECT is
defined.
(have_mk): Don't use `strip' function.
Test for unix-def.mk in OBJ_DIR, not BUILD_DIR (and invert the test
accordingly).
* builds/unix/install.mk (install, uninstall): Handle `ftmodule.h'.
* builds/os2/os2-dev.mk, builds/unix/unix-dev.mk,
builds/win32/w32-bccd.mk, builds/win32/w32-dev.mk: Don't define
BUILD_DIR but DEVEL_DIR for development header files.
* builds/ansi/ansi-def.mk (TOP_DIR, OBJ_DIR),
builds/beos/beos-def.mk (TOP_DIR, OBJ_DIR), builds/unix/unix-def.in
(TOP_DIR, OBJ_DIR): Removed. Defined elsewhere.
* builds/dos/dos-def.mk (OBJ_DIR), builds/os2/os2-def.mk (OBJ_DIR),
builds/win32/win32-def.mk (OBJ_DIR): Removed. Defined elsewhere.
* builds/unix/unixddef.mk: Don't define BUILD_DIR but DEVEL_DIR for
development header files.
Don't define PLATFORM.
* configure: Copy `modules.cfg' to builddir if builddir != srcdir.
Update snippet taken from autoconf's m4sh.m4 to current CVS version.
Be more verbose.
* include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h: Add comments -- this file is
no longer used if FreeType is built with GNU make.
* docs/CHANGES, docs/CUSTOMIZE, docs/INSTALL, docs/INSTALL.ANY,
docs/INSTALL.GNU, docs/INSTALL.UNX: Document new build mechanism.
Other minor updates.
* modules.txt: Removed. Contents included in `modules.cfg'.
* include/freetype/internal/ftmemory.h (FT_QAlloc_Debug,
FT_Free_Debug) [FT_STRICT_ALIASING]: Fix typos.
* src/base/ftdbgmem.c (FT_Alloc_Debug, FT_Realloc_Debug,
FT_QAlloc_Debug, FT_QRealloc_Debug, FT_Free_Debug)
[FT_STRICT_ALIASING]: Implement.

src/pcf/pcfdrivr.c, src/type1/t1gload.c, src/winfonts/winfnt.c:
s/ft_fake_vertical_metrics/ft_synthesize_vertical_metrics/.
* docs/CHANGES: Mention that vertical metrics are synthesized for
fonts not having this info.

src/pcf/pcfdrivr.c (PCF_Size_Request, PCF_Size_Select),

* src/winfonts/winfnt.c (FNT_Face_Init): Print trace message when
`pixel_height' is used for nominal height.
* src/base/ftobjs.c (FT_Request_Size): Call `FT_Match_Size' if the
face is bitmap only and driver doesn't provide `request_size'. This
is added merely for completion as no driver satisfies the conditions.
correctly to generate the API reference in 'docs/reference'
* src/tools/docmaker/tohtml.py: update to output nicer fields lists
in the API reference
* src/base/ftobjs.c (FT_Load_Glyph): FT_LOAD_TARGET_LIGHT now
forces auto-hinting

FT_LOAD_TARGET_XXX and FT_Render_Mode values
