(they didn't updated the stream position in the case of
disk-based streams. This went un-noticed under Linux
which uses memory-mapped files by default)
- the graphics drivers were moved from "demos/config/*" to
"demos/graph/*"
- a Win32 graphics driver was added. (note that keyboard
management is a bit buggy, but it's really usable).
- the "demos/Makefile" and "demos/graph/rules.mk" were
seriously modified
- the demo programs now compile AND run with gcc,
Visual C++ and LCC-Win32 !! The other ones should be
really easy to add now, as LCC was the really smart ass
in this list...
- compile the demonstration programs in any directory, by
using the "TOP" and "CONFIG_MK" environment variables
- the graphics drivers have moved from "demos/config/*" to
"demos/graph/*"
- brain-dead compilers like LCC-Win32 required some
changes in the way executables are linked
introduced to use a constant precision and dynamic bezier decomposition
thresholding, leading some performance improvements.
Note that by now, the "high_precision" field of a FT_Outline
is ignored by the raster..
basic i/o access are performed with FreeType 2.
Note that unlike FT 1.x, you don't need to recompile the library if
you want to provide your own memory manager or your own i/o streams.
also, changed all image references to the new PNGs
Note that this document is really out-of-date
(there are no more resources, the stream manager has disappeared,
the build systel was seriously modified, etc..)
Updated all image references to the new PNGs
Note that this document is slightly out-of-date though..
(FT_Raster_Map was changed for FT_Bitmap, and the anti-alias renderer
now supports 128 levels by default).
is now managed through the file `config/<platform>/ftmodule.h', which is
automatically generated through the rules file `config/modules.mk'
Some changes to include this new rules file. Also, the target "modules"
will force the re-generation of the drivers list (this is handy when
adding or removing a font driver from the source tree).
reflect the new modules/drivers list management performed through the
file `freetype2/config/modules.mk'
Changed the driver header files to reflect the new modules/drivers
list management. We get rid, at last, of the infamous pre-processor
tricks used to build the list at compile time.
`src/base/ftinit.c' is also modified to reflect the changes..
`config/<platform>/ftmodule.h' which contains the list of available
font drivers.
The list can be re-generated with "make modules" from the top directory
large glyph images are generated (e.g. ` fttimer -g' runs 20% faster).
For small pixel sizes (i.e. typically less than 64 pixels), rendering
speed is unaffected.
