+LATEST CHANGES BETWEEN 2.0.4 and 2.0.3
+
+ - fixed a rather annoying bug that was introduced in 2.0.3.
+ Namely, the font transform set through FT_Set_Transform was applied
+ twiced to auto-hinted glyphs, resulting in incorrect rotated text
+ output
+
+ - fixed _many_ compiler warnings. FT2 should now compile cleanly with
+ Visual C++'s most pedantic warning level (/W4). It already compiled
+ fine with GCC and a few other compilers..
+
+ - fixed the Visual C++ project files located in "builds/win32/visualc"
+ (previous versions used older names of the library)
+
+ - many 32-bit constants have an "L" appended to their value, in order
+ to improve the 16-bitness of the code. Someone is actually trying to
+ use FT2 on an Atari ST machine !!
+
+ - updated the "builds/detect.mk" file in order to automatically build
+ FT2 on AIX systems. AIX does define "/usr/sbin/init" instead of
+ "/sbin/init" and wasn't previously detected as a Unix platform. by
+ the FreeType build system.
+
+ - updated the Unix-specific portions of the build system (new libtool
+ version, etc..)

+FREETYPE MIGHT BE ILLEGAL IN THE USA, JAPAN, AND POSSIBLY OTHER
+COUNTRIES, BE IT IN COMMERCIAL OR OPEN SOURCE PRODUCTS.

+WE WILL NOT PLACE INFORMATION IN THIS FILE AS THE SITUATION IS STILL
+UNDETERMINED FOR NOW. AT THE TIME THESE LINES ARE WRITTEN, WE HAVE
+CONTACTED APPLE'S LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND ARE STILL WAITING FOR THEIR
+ANSWER ON THE SUBJECT.
