- - `ttdebug` didn't show changed point coordinates (bug introduced in

+ - A new demo program `ftsdf` is available to display Signed Distance
+ Fields of glyphs.
- - The graphical demos now work better in native color depth on win32
- and x11.
+ - The `ftlint` demo program has been extended to do more testing of
+ its input. In particular, it can display horizontal and vertical
+ acutances for quality assessment, together with computing MD5
+ checksums of rendered glyphs.
+
+ [The acutance measures how sharply the pixel coverage changes at
+ glyph edges. For monochrome bitmaps, it is always 2.0 in either
+ X or Y direction. For anti-aliased bitmaps, it depends on the
+ hinting and the shape of a glyph and might approach or even reach
+ value 2.0 for glyphs like 'I', 'L', '+', '-', or '=', while it
+ might be lower for glyphs like 'O', 'S', or 'W'.]

+
+ - It is now possible to adjust the axis increment for variable fonts
+ in the `ftmulti` demo program.
+
+ - It is now possible to change the hinting engine in the `ftstring`
+ demo program.

+ - The graphical demo programs work better now in native color depth
+ on win32 and x11.
