+CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.8 and 2.4.9
+
+ I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
+
+ - Another round of fixes to better handle invalid fonts. Many of
+ them are vulnerabilities (see CVE-2012-1126 up to CVE-2012-1144
+ and SA48320) so all users should upgrade.
+
+
+ II. MISCELLANEOUS
+
+ - The `ENCODING -1 <n>' format of BDF fonts is now supported.
+
+ - For BDF fonts, support for the whole Unicode encoding range has
+ been added.
+
+ - Better TTF support for x_ppem != y_ppem.
+
+ - `FT_Get_Advances' sometimes returned bogus values.
+
+ - The demo programs no longer recognize and handle default
+ suffixes; you now have to always specify the complete font name.
+
+ - Better rendering and LCD mode cycling added to ftview.
+
+
+======================================================================
+
+CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.7 and 2.4.8
+
+ I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
+
+ - Some vulnerabilities in handling CID-keyed PostScript fonts have
+ been fixed; see CVE-2011-3439.
+
+
+ II. MISCELLANEOUS
+
+ - Chris Liddell contributed a new API, `FT_Get_PS_Font_Value', to
+ retrieve most of the dictionary keys in Type 1 fonts.
+
+
+======================================================================
+
+CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.6 and 2.4.7
+
+ I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
+
+ - Some vulnerabilities in handling Type 1 fonts have been fixed;
+ see CVE-2011-3256.
+
+
+ II. MISCELLANEOUS
+
+ - FreeType now properly handles ZapfDingbats glyph names while
+ constructing a Unicode character map (for fonts which don't have
+ one).
+
+
+======================================================================
+
+CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.5 and 2.4.6
+
+ I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
+
+ - For TrueType based fonts, the ascender and descender values were
+ incorrect sometimes (off by a pixel if the ppem value was not a
+ multiple of 5). Depending on the use you might now experience
+ a different layout; the change should result in better, more
+ consistent line spacing.
+
+ - Fix CVE-2011-0226 which causes a vulnerability while handling
+ Type 1 fonts.
+
+ - BDF fonts containing glyphs with negative values for ENCODING
+ were incorrectly rejected. This bug has been introduced in
+ FreeType version 2.2.0.
+
+ - David Bevan contributed a major revision of the FreeType stroker
+ code:
+
+ . The behaviour of FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_BEVEL has been corrected.
+
+ . A new line join style, FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_FIXED, has
+ been introduced to support PostScript and PDF miter joins.
+
+ . FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_VARIABLE has been introduced as an
+ alias for FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER.
+
+ . Various stroking glitches has been fixed.
+
+
+ II. MISCELLANEOUS
+
+ - SFNT bitmap fonts which contain an outline glyph for `.notdef'
+ only no longer set the FT_FACE_FLAG_SCALABLE flag.
+
+
+======================================================================
+
+CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.4 and 2.4.5
+
+ I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
+
+ - A rendering regression for second-order Bézier curves has been
+ fixed, introduced in 2.4.3.
+
+
+ II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
+
+ - If autohinting is not explicitly disabled, FreeType now uses
+ the autohinter if a TrueType based font doesn't contain native
+ hints.
+
+ - The load flag FT_LOAD_IGNORE_GLOBAL_ADVANCE_WIDTH has been made
+ redundant and is simply ignored; this means that FreeType now
+ ignores the global advance width value in TrueType fonts.
+
+
+ III. MISCELLANEOUS
+
+ - `FT_Sfnt_Table_Info' can now return the number of SFNT tables of
+ a font.
+
+ - Support for PCF files compressed with bzip2 has been contributed
+ by Joel Klinghed. To make this work, the OS must provide a
+ bzip2 library.
+
+ - Bradley Grainger contributed project and solution files in
+ Visual Studio 2010 format.
+
+ - Again some fixes to better handle broken fonts.
+
+ - Some improvements to the B/W rasterizer.
+
+ - Fixes to the cache module to improve robustness.
+
+ - Just Fill Bugs contributed (experimental) code to compute blue
+ zones for CJK Ideographs, improving the alignment of horizontal
+ stems at the top or bottom edges.
+
+ - The `ftgrid' demo program can now display autohinter segments,
+ to be toggled on and off with key `s'.
+
+
+======================================================================
+
+CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.3 and 2.4.4
+
+ I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
+
+ - UVS support (TrueType/OpenType cmap format 14) support is fixed.
+ This regression has been introduced in version 2.4.0.
+
+
+ II. MISCELLANEOUS
+
+ - Detect tricky fonts (e.g. MingLiU) by the lengths and checksums
+ of Type42-persistent subtables (`cvt ', `fpgm', and `prep') when
+ a TrueType font without family name is given. The previous fix,
+ introduced in 2.4.3, was too rigorous, causing many subsetted
+ fonts (mainly from PDF files) displayed badly because FreeType
+ forced rendering with the TrueType bytecode engine instead of
+ the autohinter.
+
+ - Better support for 64bit platforms.
+
+ - More fixes to improve handling of broken fonts.
+
