II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
+ - version 2.2 does not expose its internals anymore, i.e. the content
+ of 'include/freetype/internal' is not copied anymore by the
+ 'make install' command. This means that this will *break* source
+ compatibility for a number of rogue clients that used to directly
+ access freetype internal functions and/or structures.
+
+ we provide patches for most rogue clients. See the following page
+ for more information:
+
+ http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/patches/rogue-patches.html
+
+ Note that, as a convenience to our Unix desktop users, 2.2 is
+ *binary* compatibly with FreeType 2.1.7, which means that installing
+ this release on an existing distribution shall not break any working
+ desktop.
