I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- - the 'version_info' returned by "freetype-config" in 2.1.0 returned an
- invalid value. It now returns 9:1:3 (2.0.9 returned 9:0:3)
+ - The `version_info' returned by `freetype-config' in 2.1.0 returned an
+ invalid value. It now returns 9:1:3 (2.0.9 returned 9:0:3).
- - 2.1.0 couldn't be linked against applications on Win32 and Amiga
- systems, due to a new debug function that wasn't properly propagated
- to the system-specific directory in 'builds'.

- - various MacOS and Mac OS X specific fixes
+ - Various MacOS and Mac OS X specific fixes.
- - fixed a bug in the TrueType charmap validation routines that made
- 2.1.0 over-restrictive over the fonts it could accept.
+ - Fixed a bug in the TrueType charmap validation routines that made
+ version 2.1.0 too restrictive -- many popular fonts have been
+ rejected.
- - surprisingly, there was still a very small difference between the
- monochrome glyph bitmaps produced by FT 1.x and FT 2.x with the
- bytecode interpreter enabled. This was caused by an invalid flag
- setting in the TrueType glyph loader that caused the rasterizer to
- change its drop-out control mode. This is now fixed, and results
- should _really_ be 100% identical
+ - There was still a very small difference between the monochrome glyph
+ bitmaps produced by FreeType 1.x and FreeType 2.x with the bytecode
+ interpreter enabled. This was caused by an invalid flag setting in
+ the TrueType glyph loader, making the rasterizer change its drop-out
+ control mode. Now theresults should _really_ be completely identical.
- - the TrueType name table loader has been improved to support many
- popular though buggy Asian fonts. It now ignores empty name entries,
- invalid pointer offsets and a few other sad things. Moreover, name
- strings are now loaded on demand, which reduces the memory load of
- many faces (e.g. the ARIAL.TTF font file contains a 10Kb name table
- containing 70 names)

II. NEW FEATURES
- - Three new font drivers in this release !!
+ - Three new font drivers in this release:
- * a BDF font driver, contributed by Franco Narda Zapelli, and
- heavily modified by Werner Lemberg, it also supports anti-aliased
- bitmaps
+ * A BDF font driver, contributed by Franco Narda Zapelli, heavily
+ modified by Werner Lemberg. It also supports anti-aliased bitmaps
+ (using a slightly extended BDF format).
- * a Type42 font driver, contributed by ..... This one is still
- experimental but seems to work relatively well but lacks some
- charmap support for now
-
- * a PFR font driver, contributed by David Turner himself. It doesn't
- support PFR hinting Beware that BitStream has at least two patents
- on this format !!
+ * A Type42 font driver, contributed by Roberto Alameda. It is
+ still experimental but seems to work relatively well. Currently,
+ charmap support is not fully implemented.
+ * A PFR font driver, contributed by David Turner himself. It doesn't
+ support PFR hinting -- note that BitStream has at least two patents
+ on this format!
