You  can use  a  `.sig` file  to verify  that  the corresponding  file
(without the  `.sig` suffix)  is intact.  First,  be sure  to download
both  the `.sig`  file and  the  corresponding archive.   Then, run  a
command like this:

  gpg --verify freetype-2.14.2.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you  don't have the required public key,
execute

  gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys BE6C3AAC63AD8E3F

to import it, then rerun the `gpg --verify` command.

CHANGES BETWEEN 2.14.1 and 2.14.2 (2026-Mar-01)

  I. IMPORTANT CHANGES

  - Several  changes  related  to  LCD  filtering  are implemented  to
    achieve better performance and encourage sound practices.

    . Instead of  blanket LCD filtering over the entire bitmap,  it is
      now applied only to non-zero spans using direct rendering.  This
      speeds up the ClearType-like rendering by more than 40% at sizes
      above 32 ppem.

    . Setting the filter weights with FT_Face_Properties  is no longer
      supported.  The default and light filters  are optimized to work
      with any face.

    . The legacy libXft LCD filter algorithm is no longer provided.


  II. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES

  - A bunch of potential security problems have been found.  All users
    should update.

  - The italic angle in `PS_FontInfo`  is now stored  as a fixed-point
    value  in degrees  for  all  Type 1 fonts  and  their derivatives,
    consistent  with  CFF  fonts  and  common  practices.  The  broken
    underline position and thickness values are fixed for CFF fonts.


  III. MISCELLANEOUS

  - The `x` field in the `FT_Span` structure is now unsigned.

  - Demo  program  `ftgrid` got  an  option  `-m`  to select  a  start
    character to display.

  - Similarly, demo program  `ftmulti` got an option `-m`  to select a
    text string for rendering.

  - Option  `-d` in  the demo  program `ttdebug`  is now  called `-a`,
    expecting  a  comma-separated  list  of  axis  values.   The  user
    interface is also slightly improved.

  - The `ftinspect` demo program can now be compiled with Qt6, too.
