During development that followed the 2.1.4 release, some
|
|
unfortunate changes to the source code did break *binary*
|
|
compatibility of the library with previous releases. This had the
|
|
potential to severely break any system where a version of FreeType
|
|
was installed from recent CVS sources.
|
|
|
|
We did undo the changes, and everything should be completely
|
|
compatible now. However, due to other subtleties too long to be
|
|
explained here, there may still be a tiny risk that the current
|
|
sources break some rare applications.
|
|
|
|
This package is thus FreeType 2.1.5 release candidate 1 and has
|
|
been released for testing. If you install it on your system, please
|
|
be certain to be able to install a previous version in the case
|
|
where something would go wrong.
|
|
|
|
We will make the official 2.1.5 release as soon as we're convinced
|
|
that it will not break anything.

Special notes to Unix users
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Please read the file "docs/UPGRADE.UNX". It contains important
|
|
information regarding the installation of FreeType on Unix systems,
|
|
especially GNU based operating systems like GNU/Linux.
|
|
|
|
FreeType 2's library is called `libfreetype', FreeType 1's library
|
|
is called `libttf'. They are *not* compatible!

Note that the FreeType 2 documentation is now available as a

Bugs
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
Please report bugs by e-mail to `devel@freetype.org'. Don't forget
|
|
to send a detailed explanation of the problem -- there is nothing
|
|
worse than receiving a terse message that only says "it doesn't
|
|
work".

|
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
