CHANGES BETWEEN 2.6.5 and 2.7
- I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
+ I. IMPORTANT CHANGES
+ - As announced earlier, the 2.7.x series now uses the new subpixel
+ hinting mode as the default, emulating a modern version of
+ ClearType.
+
+ This change inevitably leads to different rendering results, and
+ you might change the `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING'
+ configuration option to adapt it to your taste (or use the new
+ `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES' environment variable). See the
+ corresponding entry below for version 2.6.4, which gives more
+ information.
+
+ - A new option `FT_CONFIG_OPTION_ENVIRONMENT_PROPERTIES' has been
+ introduced. If set (which is the default), an environment
+ variable `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES' can be used to control driver
+ properties. Example:
+
+ FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=truetype:interpreter-version=35 \
+ cff:no-stem-darkening=1 \
+ autofitter:warping=1
+
+ This allows to select, say, the subpixel hinting mode at runtime
+ for a given application. See file `ftoption.h' for more.
+
+
+ II. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
+
- After loading a named instance of a GX variation font, the
`face_index' value in the returned `FT_Face' structure now
correctly holds the named instance index in the upper 16bits as

documented.
- II. MISCELLANEOUS
+ III. MISCELLANEOUS
- - A new macro `FT_IS_NAMED_INSTANCE' to test whether a given face
+ - A new macro `FT_IS_NAMED_INSTANCE' to test whether a given face
is a named instance.
+
+ - More fixes to GX font handling.
+
+ - Apple's `GETVARIATION' bytecode operator (needed for GX
+ variation font support) has been implemented.
+
+ - Another round of fuzzer fixes, mainly to reject invalid fonts
+ faster.
+
+ - Handling of raw CID fonts was broken (bug introduced in version
+ 2.6.4).
+
+ - The smooth rasterizer has been streamlined to make it faster.
