     - The computation of bearings in the BDF driver has been fixed.

+    - The Postscript hinter did crash when trying to hint certain glyphs

+      (more precisely, when trying to apply hints to an empty glyph outline !)

+    - The TrueType glyph loader now supports composites in "Apple format"

+      (they differ slightly from Microsoft/OpenType ones in the way transform

+      offsets are computed...)

   II. MISCELLANEOUS

     - The automatic and postscript hinters have both been updated.  This

       results in a relatively important increase of rendering quality since

-      many nasty defaults have been supressed.

+    - The DocMaker tool used to generate the on-line API reference has been

+      completely rewritten. If is now located in "src/tools/docmaker/docmaker.py"

+      It now provides:

+

+        - better cross-referenced output

+        - more polished output

+        - uses Python regular expressions (though it didn't speed the program)

+        - much more modular structure, which allows for different "backends"

+          in order to generate HTML, XML or whatever format...

+

+      one can re-generate the API reference by calling:

     - A new, experimental, support for incremental font loading (i.e.,
