This had the + potential to severely break any system where a version of FreeType + was installed from recent CVS sources. + + We did undo the changes, and everything should be completely + compatible now. However, due to other subtleties too long to be + explained here, there may still be a tiny risk that the current + sources break some rare applications. + + This package is thus FreeType 2.1.5 release candidate 1 and has + been released for testing. If you install it on your system, please + be certain to be able to install a previous version in the case + where something would go wrong. + + We will make the official 2.1.5 release as soon as we're convinced + that it will not break anything. + + +IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT +===================================================================== + + + Special notes to Unix users =========================== |
