- Update to version 2.5.5
* IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- Handling of uncompressed PCF files works again (bug
introduced in version 2.5.4).
- Drop freetype2-2.5.3-fix-pcf.patch, merged upstream
Mon Dec 8 13:00:00 2014 hrvoje.senjanAATTgmail.com
- Update to version 2.5.4
* IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- A variant of vulnerability CVE-2014-2240 was identified
(cf. http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?43661) and fixed
in the new CFF driver. All users should upgrade.
- The new auto-hinter code using HarfBuzz crashed for some
invalid fonts.
- Many fixes to better protect against malformed input.
* IMPORTANT CHANGES
- Full auto-hinter support of the Devanagari script.
- Experimental auto-hinter support of the Telugu script.
- CFF stem darkening behaviour can now be controlled at
build time using the eight macros
CFF_CONFIG_OPTION_DARKENING_PARAMETER_{X,Y}{1,2,3,4} .
- Some fields in the `FT_Bitmap\' structure have been changed
from signed to unsigned type, which better reflects
the actual usage. It is also an additional means to
protect against malformed input. This change doesn\'t break
the ABI; however, it might cause compiler warnings.
* MISCELLANEOUS
- Improvements to the auto-hinter\'s algorithm to recognize
stems and local extrema.
- Function `FT_Get_SubGlyph_Info\' always returned an error
even in case of success.
- Version 2.5.1 introduced major bugs in the cjk part of
the auto-hinter, which are now fixed.
- The `FT_Sfnt_Tag\' enumeration values have been changed to
uppercase, e.g. `FT_SFNT_HEAD\'. The lowercase variants
are deprecated. This is for orthogonality with all other
enumeration (and enumeration-like) values in FreeType.
- `cmake\' now supports builds of FreeType as an OS X framework
and for iOS.
- Improved project files for vc2010,
introducing a property file
- The documentation generator for the API reference has been
updated to produce better HTML code (with proper CSS).
At the same time, the documentation got a better structure.
- The FT_LOAD_BITMAP_CROP flag is obsolete; it is not used
by any driver.
- The TrueType DELTAP[123] bytecode instructions now work in
subpixel hinting mode as described in the ClearType
whitepaper (i.e., for touched points in the
non-subpixel direction).
- Many small improvements to the internal arithmetic routines.
- Rebase don-t-mark-libpng-as-required-library.patch,
bugzilla-308961-cmex-workaround.patch, freetype2-subpixel.patch,
freetype2-bitmap-foundry.patch and overflow.patch
- Add freetype2-2.5.3-fix-pcf.patch from upstream to resolve
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?43774, \"Freetype 2.5.4 does not
load ungzipped PCF fonts\"
Wed May 7 14:00:00 2014 roAATTsuse.de
- mark bnc628213_test.otf as NoSource to avoid triggering
clamav check
Thu Mar 13 13:00:00 2014 hrvoje.senjanAATTgmail.com
- Improve don-t-mark-libpng-as-required-library.patch: also handle
Requires.private case (freetype does not include png headers)
Sun Mar 9 13:00:00 2014 hrvoje.senjanAATTgmail.com
- Update to version 2.5.3
* IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- A vulnerability was identified and fixed in the new CFF
driver (cf. http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?41697; it
doesn\'t have a CVE number yet). All users should upgrade.
- More bug fixes related to correct positioning of
composite glyphs.
- Many fixes to better protect against malformed input.
* IMPORTANT CHANGES
- FreeType can now use the HarfBuzz library to greatly improve
the auto-hinting of fonts that use OpenType features:
Many glyphs that are part of such features but don\'t have
cmap entries are now handled properly, for example small
caps or superscripts. Define the configuration macro
FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_HARFBUZZ to activate HarfBuzz support.
You need HarfBuzz version 0.9.19 or newer. Note that HarfBuzz
depends on FreeType; this currently causes a chicken-and-egg
problem that can be solved as follows in case HarfBuzz
is not yet installed on your system.
1. Compile and install FreeType without the configuration
macro FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_HARFBUZZ.
2. Compile and install HarfBuzz.
3. Define macro FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_HARFBUZZ, then
compile and install FreeType again.
With FreeType\'s `configure\' script the procedure boils
down to configure, build, and install Freetype, then
configure, compile, and install HarfBuzz, then configure,
compile, and install FreeType again (after executing
`make distclean\').
- All libraries FreeType depends on are now checked
using the `pkg-config\' configuration files first,
followed by alternative methods.
- The new value `auto\' for the various `--with-XXX\'
library options (for example `--with-harfbuzz=auto\')
makes the `configure\' script automatically link to the
libraries it finds. This is now the default.
- In case FreeType\'s `configure\' script can\'t find a
library, you can pass environment variables to circumvent
pkg-config, and those variables have been harmonized as
a consequence of the changes mentioned above:
LIBZ -> removed; use LIBZ_CFLAGS and LIBZ_LIBS
LIBBZ2 -> removed; use BZIP2_CFLAGS and BZIP2_LIBS
LIBPNG_LDFLAGS -> LIBPNG_LIBS
`./configure --help\' shows all available environment variables.
- The `freetype-config\' script now understands
option `--static\' to emit static linking information.
- Due to buildsystem changes, rename and rebase
don-t-mark-libpng-as-required-library-in-freetype-co.patch to
don-t-mark-libpng-as-required-library.patch
Thu Dec 12 13:00:00 2013 hrvoje.senjanAATTgmail.com
- Added patches:
* don-t-mark-libpng-as-required-library-in-freetype-co.patch: it\'s
private in pkgconfig file, and causes issues in downstream
packages
- As per patch, remove libpng-devel Requires from devel package
Wed Dec 11 13:00:00 2013 arvidjaarAATTgmail.com
- freetype2 pkgconfig now includes -lpng16; make sure freetype2-devel
Requires libpng-devel
Tue Dec 10 13:00:00 2013 hrvoje.senjanAATTgmail.com
- Update to version 2.5.2
* Fixed bug that made FreeType crash on some popular (but not
fully conformant) fonts like `ahronbd.ttf\'
* Another round of improvements to correct positioning and hinting
of composite glyphs in TrueType fonts
* Fixed bug introduced in version 2.5.1: handling embedded
bitmap strikes of TrueType fonts, caused garbage display
under some circumstances
* Fixed `ftgrid\' demo program compilation in non-development
builds
- Droped fix-compile-in-non-debug.patch, included in this release
Wed Nov 27 13:00:00 2013 hrvoje.senjanAATTgmail.com
- Update to version 2.5.1
* For some WinFNT files, the last glyph wasn\'t displayed but
incorrectly marked as invalid.
* The vertical size of glyphs was incorrectly set after a call to
`FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden\', resulting in clipped glyphs.
* Many fields of the `PCLT\' table in SFNT based fonts (if accessed
with `FT_Get_Sfnt_Table\') were computed incorrectly.
* In TrueType fonts, hinting of composite glyphs could sometimes
deliver incorrect positions of components or even distorted
shapes.
* WOFF font format support has been added.
* The auto-hinter now supports Hebrew. Greek and Cyrillic support
has been improved.
* Support for the forthcoming `OS/2\' SFNT table version 5, as can
be found e.g. in the `Sitka\' font family for Windows 8.1.
* The header file layout has been changed. After installation,
all files are now located in `
/include/freetype2\'.
Applications that use (a) `freetype-config\' or FreeType\'s
`pkg-config\' file to get the include directory for the compiler,
and (b) the documented way for header inclusion like
[#]include or #include FT_FREETYPE_H
don\'t need any change to the source code.
* The stem darkening feature of the new CFF engine can now be
fine-tuned with the new `darkening-parameters\' property.
* `ftgrid\' has been updated to toggle various engines with the `H\'
key, similar to `ftview\' and `ftdiff\'.
* The functionality of `ttdebug\' has been greatly enhanced.
. It now displays twilight, storage, and control value data; key
* Better support of ARMv7 and x86_64 processors.
* Apple\'s `sbix\' color bitmap format is now supported.
* Improved auto-hinter rendering for many TrueType fonts,
especially in the range 20-40ppem.
* A new face flag `FT_FACE_FLAG_COLOR\' has been added (to be
accessed with the macro `FT_HAS_COLOR\').
* `FT_Gzip_Uncompress\' (modeled after zlib\'s `uncompress\'
function) has been added; this is a by-product of the newly
added WOFF support.
* Support for a build with `cmake\' has been contributed by John
Cary .
* Support for x64 builds with Visual C++ has been contributed by
Kenneth Miller
* Manual pages for most demo programs have been added.
* The GETINFO bytecode instruction for TrueType fonts was buggy if
used to retrieve subpixel hinting information. It was necessary
to set selector bit 6 to get results for selector bits 7-10,
which is wrong.
* Improved computation of emulated vertical metrics for TrueType
fonts.
* Fixed horizontal start-up position of vertical phantom points in
TrueType bytecode.
- Rebase freetype2-subpixel.patch to current release
- Added fix-compile-in-non-debug.patch, fixes release build of ftdemos
- Added overflow.patch for resolving post-build-check detected error:

Wed Jul 3 14:00:00 2013 idonmezAATTsuse.com
- Update to version 2.5.0
* ftview has been updated to support color embedded bitmaps.
* The \'ttdebug\' program has been further improved. In particular,
it accepts a new command line option `-H\' to select the hinting
engine.

Fri May 10 14:00:00 2013 idonmezAATTsuse.com
- Update to version 2.4.12
* Using the `H\' key, it is now possible to select the CFF engine
in both ftview and ftdiff.
* The new command line option \'-H\' for `ftbench\' selects the Adobe
CFF engine.
* It is now possible to directly select the LCD rendering mode
with the keys \'A\'-\'F\' in \'ftview\'. The key mapping for cycling
through LCD modes has been changed from \'K\' and \'L\' to \'k\' and
\'l\', and toggling custom LCD filtering is no longer mapped to
key \'F\' but to key \'L\'.
* In `ftdiff\', key \'x\' toggles between layout modes: Either use
the advance width (this is new and now the default) or the
bounding box information to determine line breaks.
* For all demo tools, the new command line option `-v\' shows the
version.
* For the demo tools with a GUI, the new command line options \'-w\'
and \'-h\' select the width and the height of the output window,
respectively.

of FT_Get_TrueType_Engine_Type (and make it work as documented).
Thanks to Werner Lemberg for fixing and Krzysztof Kotlenga for
reporting the issue.
Mon Aug 18 14:00:00 2008 mfabianAATTsuse.de
- fix uninitialized pointer \"FT_STREAM stream\" in function
FT_Open_Face() which made fontforge crash while trying to apply
a workaround to the sazanami-fonts because fontforge called
FT_Open_Face() with 0 for the FT_Library argument and
then freetype crashed in FT_Stream_Free().
Wed Jul 23 14:00:00 2008 mfabianAATTsuse.de
- update to 2.3.7. Extract from the docs/CHANGES file:
• If the library was compiled on an i386 platform using gcc, and
compiler option -O3 was given, `FT_MulFix\' sometimes returned
incorrect results which could have caused problems with
`FT_Request_Metrics\' and `FT_Select_Metrics\', returning an
incorrect descender size.
• Pure CFFs without subfonts were scaled incorrectly if the font
matrix was non-standard. This bug has been introduced in
version 2.3.6.
• The `style_name\' field in the `FT_FaceRec\' structure often
contained a wrong value for Type 1 fonts. This misbehaviour
has been introduced in version 2.3.6 while trying to fix
another problem. [Note, however, that this value is
informative only since the used algorithm to extract it is
very simplistic.]
• Two new macros, FT_OUTLINE_SMART_DROPOUTS and
FT_OUTLINE_EXCLUDE_STUBS, have been introduced. Together with
FT_OUTLINE_IGNORE_DROPOUTS (which was ignored previously) it is
now possible to control the dropout mode of the `raster\' module
(for B&W rasterization), using the `flags\' field in the
`FT_Outline\' structure.
• The TrueType bytecode interpreter now passes the dropout mode to
the B&W rasterizer. This greatly increases the output for small
ppem values of many fonts like `pala.ttf\'.
• A bunch of potential security problems have been found. All
users should update.
• Microsoft Unicode cmaps in TrueType fonts are now always
preferred over Apple cmaps. This is not a bug per se, but there
exist some buggy fonts created for MS which have broken Apple
cmaps. This affects only the automatic selection of FreeType;
it\'s always possible to manually select an Apple Unicode cmap if
desired.
• Many bug fixes to the TrueType bytecode interpreter.
• Improved Mac support.
• Subsetted CID-keyed CFFs are now supported correctly.
• CID-keyed CFFs with subfonts which are scaled in a non-standard
way are now handled correctly.
• A call to FT_Open_Face with `face_index\' < 0 crashed FreeType if
the font was a Windows (bitmap) FNT/FON.
• The new function `FT_Get_CID_Registry_Ordering_Supplement\' gives
access to those fields in a CID-keyed font. The code has been
contributed by Derek Clegg.
• George Williams contributed code to validate the new `MATH\'
OpenType table (within the `otvalid\' module). The `ftvalid\'
demo program has been extended accordingly.
• An API for cmap 14 support (for Unicode Variant Selectors, UVS)
has been contributed by George Williams.
• A new face flag FT_FACE_FLAG_CID_KEYED has been added, together
with a macro FT_IS_CID_KEYED which evaluates to 1 if the font is
CID-keyed.
• Build support for symbian has been contributed.
• Better WGL4 glyph name support, contributed by Sergey Tolstov.
• Debugging output of the various FT_TRACEX macros is now sent to
stderr.
• The `ftview\' demo program now provides artificial slanting too.
• The `ftvalid\' demo program has a new option `-f\' to select the
font index.

- Commented out NoSource to provide comfortable rebuild.
Tue Jul 3 14:00:00 2007 mfabianAATTsuse.de
- update to 2.3.5. Extract from the doc/CHANGES file:
• Some subglyphs in TrueType fonts were handled incorrectly due
to a missing graphics state reinitialization.
• Large .Z files (as distributed with some X11 packages)
weren\'t handled correctly, making FreeType increase the heap
stack in an endless loop.
• A large number of bugs have been fixed to avoid crashes and
endless loops with invalid fonts.
• The two new cache functions `FTC_ImageCache_LookupScaler\' and
`FTC_SBit_Cache_LookupScaler\' have been added to allow lookup of
glyphs using an `FTC_Scaler\' object; this makes it possible to
use fractional pixel sizes in the cache. The demo programs have
been updated accordingly to use this feature.
• A new API `FT_Get_CMap_Format\' has been added to get the
cmap format of a TrueType font. This is useful in handling
PDF files. The code has been contributed by Derek Clegg.
• The auto-hinter now produces better output by default for
non-Latin scripts like Indic. This was done by using the CJK
hinting module as the default instead of the Latin one. Thanks
to Rahul Bhalerao for this suggestion.
• A new API `FT_Face_CheckTrueTypePatents\' has been added to find
out whether a given TrueType font uses patented bytecode
instructions. The `ft2demos\' bundle contains a new program
called `ftpatchk\' which demonstrates its usage.
• A new API `FT_Face_SetUnpatentedHinting\' has been added to
enable or disable the unpatented hinter.
• Support for Windows FON files in PE format has been contributed
by Dmitry Timoshkov.

reported by Victor Stinner .
Tue May 22 14:00:00 2007 mfabianAATTsuse.de
- fix last patch to avoid crashes when loader->exec == NULL.
(caused crashes in xpdf, kpdf, acroread for me for many
.pdf files).
Tue Apr 10 14:00:00 2007 mfabianAATTsuse.de
- update to 2.3.4. Extract from the doc/CHANGES file:
• A serious bug in the handling of bitmap fonts (and bitmap
strikes of outline fonts) has been introduced in 2.3.3.
• Remove a serious regression in the TrueType bytecode
interpreter that was introduced in version 2.3.2. Note that
this does not disable the improvements introduced to the
interpreter in version 2.3.2, only some ill cases that occurred
with certain fonts (though a few popular ones).
• The auto-hinter now ignores single-point contours for
computing blue zones. This bug created `wavy\' baselines when
rendering text with various fonts that use these contours to
model mark-attach points (these are points that are never
rasterized and are placed outside of the glyph\'s real
outline).
• The `rsb_delta\' and `lsb_delta\' glyph slot fields are now set
to 0 for mono-spaced fonts. Otherwise code that uses them
would essentially ruin the fixed-advance property.
• Fix CVE-2007-1351 which can cause an integer overflow while
parsing BDF fonts, leading to a potentially exploitable heap
overflow condition.
• FreeType returned incorrect kerning information from TrueType
fonts when the bytecode interpreter was enabled. This
happened due to a typo introduced in version 2.3.0.
• Negative kerning values from PFM files are now reported
correctly (they were read as 16-bit unsigned values from the
file).
• Fixed a small memory leak when `FT_Init_FreeType\' failed for
some reason.
• The Postscript hinter placed and sized very thin and ghost
stems incorrectly.
• The TrueType bytecode interpreter has been fixed to get rid
of most of the rare differences seen in comparison to the
Windows font loader.
• A new demo program `ftdiff\' has been added to compare
TrueType hinting, FreeType\'s auto hinting, and rendering
without hinting in three columns.
• The auto-hinter now better deals with serifs and corner cases
(e.g., glyph \'9\' in Arial at 9pt, 96dpi). It also improves
spacing adjustments and doesn\'t change widths for non-spacing
glyphs.

Mon Feb 5 13:00:00 2007 mfabianAATTsuse.de
- update to 2.3.1.
• The TrueType interpreter sometimes returned incorrect
horizontal metrics due to a bug in the handling of the SHZ
instruction.
• A typo in a security check introduced after
version 2.2.1 prevented FreeType to render some glyphs in CFF
fonts.

+ amount of heap memory used is drastically reduced
For more details see /usr/share/doc/packages/freetype2/CHANGES.
- disable freetype-autohint-cjkfonts.patch for the moment, the
auto-hinter has been replaced with a new module called the
\'auto-fitter\' which is \"prepared better to support non-latin1
scripts in next releases\". Currently the rendering quality of
CJK fonts seems to have suffered though compared to 2.1.9
with the freetype-autohint-cjkfonts.patch.

Wed Mar 24 13:00:00 2004 mfabianAATTsuse.de
- Add ft2-stream-compat.diff for binary compatibility when
upgrading from SLES8 to SLES9.
The FT_Stream functions have been renamed and although these
functions were declared for internal use only by the freetype
developers, they have been used in Qt (and possibly elsewhere).
Therefore, 3rd party which linked statically against Qt might
not work after upgrading from SLES8 to SLES9.
Fix this problem with a patch by Kurt Garloff
which defines appropriate weak symbols.

Fri Mar 7 13:00:00 2003 mfabianAATTsuse.de
- Bug #24755: further improvement: add \" Wide\" to the family name
for fonts which have an average width >= point size, i.e. fonts
which have glyphs which are at least square (or maybe even
wider). This makes fonts which contain only double width
characters (for example the \"misc-fixed\" 18x18ja.bdf) clearly
distinct from single width fonts of the same family and
avoids that they get accidentally selected via freetype2/Xft2.
Fri Mar 7 13:00:00 2003 mfabianAATTsuse.de
- Bug #24775: partly fixed by a patch to freetype which returns
\"FOUNDRY FAMILY_NAME\" as the family_name for bitmap fonts.
Without that change, all bitmap fonts which have \"Fixed\"
in FAMILY_NAME also had the same family_name \"Fixed\" via
freetype/Xft2 and it was not possible to distinguish between
them, therefore the selection of \"Fixed\" bitmap fonts produced
quite surprising results. After this change, the fonts show
up for example as \"Misc Fixed\", \"Etl Fixed\", etc. via
freetype2/Xft2, which makes it easy to select the right one.
Wed Jan 29 13:00:00 2003 mfabianAATTsuse.de
