- Function `FT_Get_Var_Axis_Flags' returned random data for Type 1
MM fonts.
+ - Type 1 fonts with non-integer metrics are now supported by the new
+ (CFF) engine introduced in FreeType 2.9.
+
- Drop support for Python 2 in Freetype's API reference generator
`docwriter' (Python >= 3.5 is required for targets `make refdoc'
and `make refdoc-venv').
+ - Auto-hinter support for Hanifi Rohingya.
+
+ - Document the `FT2_KEEP_ALIVE' debugging environment variable.
+
+ - The Visual C++ (and Visual C) project files for Windows builds no
+ longer generate libraries that contain the FreeType version in its
+ filenames. Instead, a resource file gets used to make the
+ libraries contain the corresponding information.
+
- The next release will remove Jam build support.
+ - The `ftbench' demo program has a new test for testing the
+ `FT_Glyph_Stroke' functionality.
