Hello,
FreeType 2.0.7 has been released. This is mostly a bug-fix
release. It doesn't have new features, except maybe a
Unix-friendly "configure" script.
Enjoy,
- David Turner
=============================================================================
LATEST CHANGES BETWEEN 2.0.7 and 2.0.6
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- Fixed two bugs in the Type 1 font driver. The first one resulted in a
memory leak in subtle cases. The other one caused FreeType to crash
when trying to load ".gsf" files (Ghostscript so-called Postscript
fonts).
(This made _many_ KDE applications crash on certain systems. FreeType
_is_ becoming a critical system component on Linux :-)
- Fixed a memory leak in the CFF font driver.
- Fixed a memory leak in the PCF font driver.
- Fixed the Visual C++ project file "builds/win32/visualc/freetype.dsp"
since it didn't include the Postscript hinter component, causing
errors at build time.
- Fixed a small rendering bug in the anti-aliased renderer that only
occurred when trying to draw thin (less than 1 pixel) strokes.
- Fixed "builds/unix/freetype2.a4" which is used to generate a valid
"freetype2.m4" for use with autoconf.
- Fixed the OpenVMS Makefiles.
II. MISCELLANEOUS
- Added "configure" and "install" scripts to the top-level directory.
A GNU-style installation is thus now easily possible with
./configure <options>
make
make install
