- The FreeType sources are under heavy internal re-factoring. As a |
|
|
|
|
consequence, we have created a branch named "STABLE" on the CVS to |
|
|
|
|
hold all future releases/fixes in the 2.0.x family. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The HEAD branch now contains the re-factored sources and shouldn't be |
|
|
|
|
used for testing or packaging new releases. In the cases where you |
|
|
|
|
would like to access the 2.0.9 sources from our CVS repository, you |
|

|
|
should use the tag VER-2-0-9. |
