CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.4 and 2.4.5
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- A rendering regression for second-order Bézier curves has been
fixed, introduced in 2.4.3.
II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
- If autohinting is not explicitly disabled, FreeType now uses
the autohinter if a TrueType based font doesn't contain native
hints.
- The load flag FT_LOAD_IGNORE_GLOBAL_ADVANCE_WIDTH has been made
redundant and is simply ignored; this means that FreeType now
ignores the global advance width value in TrueType fonts.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
- `FT_Sfnt_Table_Info' can now return the number of SFNT tables of
a font.
- Support for PCF files compressed with bzip2 has been contributed
by Joel Klinghed. To make this work, the OS must provide a
bzip2 library.
- Bradley Grainger contributed project and solution files in
Visual Studio 2010 format.
- Again some fixes to better handle broken fonts.
- Some improvements to the B/W rasterizer.
- Fixes to the cache module to improve robustness.
- Just Fill Bugs contributed (experimental) code to compute blue
zones for CJK Ideographs, improving the alignment of horizontal
stems at the top or bottom edges.
- The `ftgrid' demo program can now display autohinter segments,
to be toggled on and off with key `s'.
