+CHANGES BETWEEN 2.8.1 and 2.8.2
+
+ I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
+
+ - Advance width values of variation fonts were often wrong.
+
+ - More fixes for variation font support; you should update to this
+ version if you want to support them.
+
+
+ II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
+
+ - As a GSoC project, Ewald Hew extended the new (Adobe) CFF engine
+ to handle Type 1 fonts also, thus greatly improving the
+ rendering of this format. This is the new default. The old
+ engine is still available if the configuration macro
+ `T1_CONFIG_OPTION_OLD_ENGINE' gets defined; using the
+ `hinting-engine' property of the `type1' driver module you can
+ then switch between the two engines.
+
+ - A new function, `FT_Set_Named_Instance', can be used to set or
+ change the current named instance.
+
+ - Starting with this FreeType version, resetting variation
+ coordinates will return to the currently selected named
+ instance. Previously, FreeType returned to the base font (i.e.,
+ no instance set).
+
+
+ III. MISCELLANEOUS
+
+ - The `face_flags' field of the `FT_Face' structure has a new bit,
+ `FT_FACE_FLAG_VARIATION', which is set if a variation font has
+ been altered with `FT_Set_MM_Design_Coordinates',
+ `FT_Set_Var_Design_Coordinates', or
+ `FT_Set_Var_Blend_Coordinates'.
+
+ - If the current face is a named instance, the new macro
+ `FT_IS_NAMED_INSTANCE' returns true.
+
+ - `FT_IS_VARIATION' is a new macro that returns true whenever a
+ face object has been altered by `FT_Set_MM_Design_Coordinates',
+ `FT_Set_Var_Design_Coordinates', or
+ `FT_Set_Var_Blend_Coordinates'.
+
+ - Changing the design coordinates of a variation font with
+ `FT_Set_Var_Design_Coordinates' or
+ `FT_Set_Var_Blend_Coordinates' does not influence the named
+ instance index value (only `FT_Set_Named_Instance' does that).
+
+ - Special PostScript names for named instances are only returned
+ if the named instance is set with `FT_Set_Named_Instance' (and
+ the font has corresponding entries in its `fvar' table). If
+ `FT_IS_VARIATION' returns true, the algorithmically derived
+ PostScript name is provided, not looking up special entries for
+ named instances.
+
+ - On platforms using the `configure' script, the installed
+ `ftoption.h' file now correctly reflects configuration options
+ like `--with-harfbuzz'.
+
+ - Better support to build FreeType as a DLL on Windows using
+ Visual C.
+
+ - All data specific to driver modules is now collected in a single
+ file, `FT_DRIVER_H'. Consequently, the macros
+ `FT_AUTOHINTER_H', `FT_CFF_DRIVER_H', `FT_TRUETYPE_DRIVER_H',
+ and `FT_PCF_DRIVER_H' still work but are deprecated.
+
+ - Some fuzzer fixes to better reject malformed fonts.
