II. IMPORTANT CHANGES |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- version 2.2 does not expose its internals anymore, i.e. the content |
|
|
|
|
of 'include/freetype/internal' is not copied anymore by the |
|
|
|
|
'make install' command. This means that this will *break* source |
|
|
|
|
compatibility for a number of rogue clients that used to directly |
|
|
|
|
access freetype internal functions and/or structures. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
we provide patches for most rogue clients. See the following page |
|
|
|
|
for more information: |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that, as a convenience to our Unix desktop users, 2.2 is |
|
|
|
|
*binary* compatibly with FreeType 2.1.7, which means that installing |
|
|
|
|
this release on an existing distribution shall not break any working |
|
|
|
|
desktop. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Version 2.2 no longer exposes its internals, this is, the header |
|
|
|
|
files located in the `include/freetype/internal' directory of |
|
|
|
|
the source package are not copied anymore by the `make install' |
|
|
|
|
command. Consequently, a number of rogue clients which directly |
|
|
|
|
access FreeType's internal functions and structures won't |
|
|
|
|
compile without modification. |
|
|
|
|
We provide patches for most of those rogue clients. See the |

In this release, we undo the change. The intent of the change |
