src/autohint/ahhint.c: fixed blue-scale problem
* src/cache/ftccache.c: fixed small bug that could crash the cache
in rare circumstances (mostly with broken fonts)
* include/freetype/config/ftoption.h, src/autohint/ahglobal.h,
src/autohint/ahglobal.c, src/autohint/ahglyph.c,
src/autohint/ahtypes.h:
included David Chester's patches to the auto-hinter in order to
slightly improve the output. Note that everything is controlled
through the new FT_CONFIG_OPTION_CHESTER_HINTS defined at the
end of "ftoption.h", there are also individual FT_CONFIG_CHESTER_XXX
macros to control individual "features".
Note that all improvements are enabled by default, but can be
tweaked for optimization and testing purpose. The configuration
macros will most likely disappear in the short future.

* include/freetype/internal/fnttypes.h: fixed a structure field
definition to avoid memory overwrites
* docs/VERSION.DLL: updating document to better explain the differences between
the three version numbers being used on Unix, as well as provide the AutoConf
fragment provided by Lars Clausen
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (gray_render_conic): fixed small bug that
prevented bezier arcs with negative vertical coordinates to be rendered
appropriately

* builds/unix/unix-def.in, builds/unix/freetype-config.in,
builds/unix/configure.ac, src/gzip/rules.mk, src/gzip/ftgzip.c:
adding support for system zlib installations when available on the
target platform (Unix only)
* include/freetype/config/ftoption.h, src/gzip/ftgzip.c: added
support for the FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SYSTEM_ZLIB option, used to specify
the use of system-wide zlib.
Note that this macro, as well as FT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER,
is not #undef-ed anymore. This allows the build system to define them
depending on the configuration (typically by adding -D flags at
compile time).
* src/sfnt/ttcmap0.c (tt_face_build_cmaps): removed compiler warnings
in optimized mode relative to the "volatile" local variables. This was
not a compiler bug after all, but the fact that a pointer to a volatile
variable is not the same than a volatile pointer to a variable :-)
the fix was to change "volatile FT_Byte* p"
into "FT_Byte* volatile p"
* src/pfr/pfrload.c, src/pfr/pfrdrivr.c, src/gzip/inftrees.c: removed
compiler warnings in optimized modes
* src/gzip/*.[hc]: modified our ZLib copy in order to prevent exporting
any zlib function names outside of the component. This prevents linking
problems on some platforms, when applications want to link FreeType
_and_ ZLib together.
2002-11-05 Juliusz <jch@pps.jussieu.fr>
* src/psaux/psobjs.c (ps_table_add): modified increment loop in
order to implement exponential behaviour
* src/autohint/ahtypes.h: disabling metrics hinting in the auto-hinter.
this produces much better anti-aliased text
2002-09-25 Anthony Fok <anthony@thizlinux.com>
* src/sfnt/ttcmap0.c: added support for opens___.ttf (it contains
a charmap that uses offset=0xFFFFU instead of 0x0000 to indicate a
missing glyph)
* src/autohint/ahglobal.c (sort_values): Use FT_Pos for `swap'.
(ah_hinter_compute_widths): Use FT_Pos for `dist'.
Use AH_MAX_WIDTHS.
* src/autohint/ahglyph.c (ah_outline_scale_blue_edges): Use FT_Pos
for `delta'.
(ah_outline_compute_edges): Replace some ints with FT_Int and
FT_Pos.
(ah_test_extrema): Clean up code.
(ah_get_orientation): Use 4 FT_Int variables instead of FT_BBox to
hold indices.
* src/autohint/ahtypes.h (AH_SegmentRec): Change type of `score'
to FT_Pos.
include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h: updated to correctly support
sub-pixel rendering
* include/freetype/cache/ftcimage.h, include/freetype/cache/ftcsbits.h,
src/cache/ftcimage.c, src/cache/ftcsbit.c: updated to support sub-pixel
rendering correctly. Definition of FTC_ImageTypeRec that replaces the
obsolete FTC_ImageDesc, and has slightly different fields. The
image type is now determined directly by "load_flags" values.
* src/autohint/ahtypes.h, src/autohint/ahhint.c,
src/pshinter/pshalgo3.c, src/pshinter/pshalgo3.h: various enhancements
to the automatic and Postscript hinters !! and sub-pixel hinting now
works correctly (see demo programs)
want to list them all here. The operations performed were all logical
transformations of the sources:
- trying to convert all enums and constants to CAPITALIZED_STYLE, with
#define definitions like
#define my_old_constants MY_NEW_CONSTANT
- big, big update of the documentation comments
* include/freetype/freetype.h, src/base/ftobjs.c, src/smooth/ftsmooth.c,
include/freetype/ftimage.h: adding support for LCD-optimized rendering
though the new constants/enums:
FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD, FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD_V
FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD, FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD_V
this is still work in progress, don't expect everything to work correctly
though most of the features have been implemented.
* adding new FT_LOAD_XXX flags, used to specify both hinting and rendering
targets:
FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL :: anti-aliased hinting & rendering
FT_LOAD_TARGET_MONO :: monochrome bitmaps
FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD :: horizontal RGB/BGR decimated hinting & rendering
FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD_V :: vertical RGB/BGR decimated hinting & rendering
note that FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL is 0, which means that the default
behaviour of the font engine is _unchanged_.
src/autohint/ahangles.h, src/autohint/ahglyph.c, src/autohint/ahhint.c,
src/autohint/ahtypes.h: the automatic and Postscript hinter now
automatically detect inflection points in glyph outlines and treats
them specially. This is very useful to prevent nasty effect like the
disappearing diagonals of "S" and "s" in many, many fonts..
incorrect advances when the outline resolution was different from the
metrics resolution
* src/autohint/ahhint.c: removing compiler warnings
* src/autohint/ahglyph.c: slight improvements to the serif detection
code. More work is needed though..
* src/autohint/ahglobal.c, src/autohint/ahtypes.h, src/autohint/ahhint.c:
small improvements to the automatic hinter. un-even stem-widths have now
disappeared and everything looks much better, even if there are still
issues with serifed fonts.
src/base/ftobjs.c, src/objs/fttype1.c, src/sfnt/ttcmap0.c,
src/smooth/ftgrays.c: changed uses of "setjmp" and "longjmp"
to "ft_setjmp" and "ft_lonjmp". Removed direct references to
<stdio.h> and <setjmp.h> when appropriate, to eventually replace
them with a FT_CONFIG_STANDARD_LIBRARY_H. Useful for the XFree86
Font Server backend based on FT2.
warn about the GNU Make requirement at compile time..

src/type1/t1load.c, src/type1/t1objs.c, src/type1/t1parse.c:
added the new configuration file "ftstdlib.h" used to define
aliases for all ISO C library functions used by the engine
(e.g. strlen, qsort, setjmp, etc...)
this eases the porting of FreeType 2 to exotic environments like
XFree86 modules/extensions..
also removed many #include <string.h>, #include <stdlib.h>, etc...
from the engine's sources where they're not needed..
changed the names of memory macros. Examples:
MEM_Set => FT_MEM_SET
MEM_Copy => FT_MEM_COPY
MEM_Move => FT_MEM_MOVE
ALLOC => FT_ALLOC
FREE => FT_FREE
REALLOC = >FT_REALLOC
FT_NEW was introduced to allocate a new object from a _typed_
pointer..
note that ALLOC_ARRAY and REALLOC_ARRAY have been replaced
by FT_NEW_ARRAY and FT_RENEW_ARRAY which take _typed_ pointer
arguments.
This results in _lots_ of sources being changed, but makes the
code more generic and less error-prone..
src/base/ftapi.c, src/base/ftobjs.c: updating the type definitions for
the auto-hinter module.
(i.e. FT_AutoHinter_Interface => FT_AutoHinter_ServiceRec,
FT_AutoHinter_Interface* => FT_AutoHinter_Service, etc..)
unpleasant overwrites in the case of invalid glyph data (found in
the output of buggy font converters)
the computation of auto-hinted stem widths has been modified to
avoid certain color fringes in LCD-decimation rendering (a.k.a.
"ClearType")
* src/pshinter/pshalgo2.c (psh2_hint_table_init),
src/pshinter/pshalgo1.c (psh1_hint_table_init): removed compiler
warnings
* include/freetype/cache/*, src/cache/*: yet another massive rewrite of
the caching sub-system, in order to both increase performance and allow
simpler cache sub-classing. As an example, the code for the image and
sbit caches is now much simpler
I still need to update the documentation in www/freetype2/docs/cache.html
to reflect the new design though..
produces smoother glyphs at small sizes for very little cost
* src/autohint/ahglyph.c, src/autohint/ahhint.c: various fixes to
the auto-hinter. They merely improve the output of sans-serif fonts.
Note that there are still problems with serifed fonts and composites
(accented characters)
* tests/gview.c: updated the debugging glyph viewer to show the
hints generated by the "autohint" module
(some platforms don't provide this ANSI function !!)
some changes to "ftsystem.c" implementations in order to use
the new memory debugger on Unix, VMS and Amiga too !!
