CHANGES BETWEEN 2.3.7 and 2.3.6
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- If the library was compiled on an i386 platform using gcc, and
compiler option -O3 was given, `FT_MulFix' sometimes returned
incorrect results which could have caused problems with
`FT_Request_Metrics' and `FT_Select_Metrics', returning an
incorrect descender size.
- Pure CFFs without subfonts were scaled incorrectly if the font
matrix was non-standard. This bug has been introduced in
version 2.3.6.
- The `style_name' field in the `FT_FaceRec' structure often
contained a wrong value for Type 1 fonts. This misbehaviour
has been introduced in version 2.3.6 while trying to fix
another problem. [Note, however, that this value is
informative only since the used algorithm to extract it is
very simplistic.]
II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
- Two new macros, FT_OUTLINE_SMART_DROPOUTS and
FT_OUTLINE_EXCLUDE_STUBS, have been introduced. Together with
FT_OUTLINE_IGNORE_DROPOUTS (which was ignored previously) it is
now possible to control the dropout mode of the `raster' module
(for B&W rasterization), using the `flags' field in the
`FT_Outline' structure.
- The TrueType bytecode interpreter now passes the dropout mode to
the B&W rasterizer. This greatly increases the output for small
ppem values of many fonts like `pala.ttf'.

builds/win32/visualc/freetype.dsp,
builds/win32/visualc/freetype.vcproj,
builds/win32/visualce/index.html,
builds/win32/visualce/freetype.dsp,
builds/win32/visualce/freetype.vcproj: s/2.3.6/2.3.7/, s/236/237/.

* builds/unix/configure.raw (version_info): Set to 9:18:3.
* docs/release: Updated.
2008-06-28 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
* src/ftglyph.c (FT_Matrix_Multiply, FT_Matrix_Invert): Move to...
* src/ftcalc.c: Here. This fixes Savannah bug #23729.
2008-06-27 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
* src/raster/ftraster.c (Vertical_Sweep_Drop, Horizontal_Sweep_Drop,
Horizontal_Gray_Sweep_Drop): Test for intersections which
degenerate to a single point can be ignored; this has been confirmed
by Greg Hitchcock from Microsoft. (This was commented out code.)
2008-06-26 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
Improve navigation in API reference.
* src/tools/docmaker/tohtml.py (html_header_3): Renamed to...
(html_header_6): This.
(html_header_3, html_header_3i, html_header_4, html_header_5,
html_header_5t): New strings.
(toc_footer_start, toc_footer_end): New strings.
(HtmlFormatter::html_header): Updated.
(HtmlFormatter::html_index_header, HtmlFormatter::html_toc_header):
New strings.
(HtmlFormatter::index_enter): Use `html_index_header'.
(HtmlFormatter::index_exit): Print `html_footer'.
(HtmlFormatter::toc_enter): Use `html_toc_header'.
(HtmlFormatter::toc_exit): Print proper footer.
Convert ~ to non-breakable space.
* src/tools/docmaker/tohtml.py (make_html_para): Implement it.
Update header files accordingly.
2008-06-24 suzuki toshiya <mpsuzuki@hiroshima-u.ac.jp>
* builds/unix/configure.raw: Check type `ResourceIndex' explicitly
and define HAVE_TYPE_RESOURCE_INDEX if it is defined. Mac OS X 10.5
bundles 10.4u SDK with MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5 macro but without
ResourceIndex type definition. The macro does not inform the type
availability.
* src/base/ftmac.c: More parentheses are inserted to clarify the
conditionals to disable legacy APIs in `10.5 and later' cases. If
HAVE_TYPE_RESOURCE_INDEX is not defined, ResourceIndex is defined.
2008-06-24 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
* src/truetype/ttinterp. (Ins_SCANTYPE): Don't check rendering mode.
* src/raster/ftraster.c (Render_Glyph, Render_Gray_Glyph,
Draw_Sweep): No-dropout mode is value 2, not value 0.
(Draw_Sweep): Really skip dropout handling for no-dropout mode.
2008-06-24 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
* src/psaux/psobjs.c (t1_builder_close_contour): Don't add contour
if it consists of one point only. Based on a patch from Savannah
bug #23683 (from John Tytgat).
2008-06-22 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
* src/truetype/ttgload.c (TT_Load_Glyph): Protect bytecode stuff
with IS_HINTED.
* docs/CHANGES: Updated.
2008-06-22 suzuki toshiya <mpsuzuki@hiroshima-u.ac.jp>
* builds/unix/configure.raw: If CFLAGS has `-isysroot XXX' option
but LDFLAGS does not, import it to LDFLAGS. The option is used to
specify non-default SDK on Mac OS X (e.g., universal binary SDK for
Mac OS X 10.4 on PowerPC platform). Although Apple TechNote 2137
recommends to add the option only to CFLAGS, LDFLAGS should include
it because libfreetype.la is built with -no-undefined. This fixes a
bug reported by Ryan Schmidt in MacPorts,
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15331.
2008-06-21 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
Enable access to the various dropout rules of the B&W rasterizer.
Pass dropout rules from the TT bytecode interpreter to the
rasterizer.
* include/freetype/ftimage.h (FT_OUTLINE_SMART_DROPOUTS,
FT_OUTLINE_EXCLUDE_STUBS): New flags for for FT_Outline.
* src/raster/ftraster.c (Vertical_Sweep_Drop, Horizontal_Sweep_Drop,
Horizontal_Gray_Sweep_Drop): Use same mode numbers as given in the
OpenType specification.
Fix mode 4 computation.
(Render_Glyph, Render_Gray_Glyph): Handle new outline flags.
* src/truetype/ttgload.c (TT_Load_Glyph) Convert scan conversion
mode to FT_OUTLINE_XXX flags.
* src/truetype/ttinterp.c (Ins_SCANCTRL): Enable ppem check.
2008-06-19 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
* src/cff/cffobjs.c (cff_face_init): Compute final
`dict->units_per_em' value before assigning it to
`cffface->units_per_EM'. Otherwise, CFFs without subfonts are
scaled incorrectly if the font matrix is non-standard. This fixes
Savannah bug #23630.
* docs/CHANGES: Updated.
2008-06-19 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
* src/type/t1objs.c (T1_Face_Init): Slightly improve algorithm fix
from 2008-06-19.
2008-06-18 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
* src/type/t1objs.c (T1_Face_Init): Fix change from 2008-03-21.
Reported by Peter Weilbacher <mozilla@weilbacher.org>.
* docs/CHANGES: Updated.
2008-06-15 George Williams <gww@silcom.com>
* src/otvalid/otvgpos.c (otv_MarkBasePos_validate): Set
`valid->extra2' to 1. This is undocumented in the OpenType 1.5
specification.
2008-06-15 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
* src/base/ftcalc.c (FT_MulFix) <asm>: Protect registers correctly
from clobbering. Patch from Savannah bug report #23556.
* docs/CHANGES: Document it.
2008-06-10 Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
* autogen.sh: Add option `--install' to libtoolize.
