CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.5 and 2.4.6

  I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES

    - For TrueType based fonts, the ascender and descender values were
      incorrect sometimes  (off by a pixel if the ppem value was not a
      multiple of 5).   Depending on the use you might now  experience
      a different  layout; the  change should  result in  better, more
      consistent line spacing.

    - Fix CVE-2011-0226  which causes a  vulnerability while  handling
      Type 1 fonts.

    - BDF fonts  containing  glyphs with negative values  for ENCODING
      were  incorrectly  rejected.  This  bug has  been introduced  in
      FreeType version 2.2.0.

    - David Bevan contributed a major revision of the FreeType stroker
      code:

      . The behaviour of FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_BEVEL has been corrected.

      . A new  line join style,  FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_FIXED,  has
        been introduced to support PostScript and PDF miter joins.

      . FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_VARIABLE  has been introduced  as an
        alias for FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER.

      . Various stroking glitches has been fixed.


  II. MISCELLANEOUS

      - SFNT bitmap fonts which contain an outline glyph for `.notdef'
        only no longer set the FT_FACE_FLAG_SCALABLE flag.
