FreeType 2.5.0.1 has been released.
It is available from
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/freetype/
or
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/
The latter site also holds older versions of the FreeType library.
See below for the relevant snippet from the CHANGES file; all users
should upgrade.
Enjoy!

FreeType 2 is a software font engine that is designed to be small,
efficient, highly customizable, and portable while capable of
producing high-quality output (glyph images) of most vector and bitmap
font formats.
Note that FreeType 2 is a font service and doesn't provide APIs to
perform higher-level features, like text layout or graphics processing
(e.g., colored text rendering, `hollowing', etc.). However, it
greatly simplifies these tasks by providing a simple, easy to use, and
uniform interface to access the content of font files.
FreeType 2 is released under two open-source licenses: our own
BSD-like FreeType License and the GPL. It can thus be used by any
kind of projects, be they proprietary or not.

CHANGES BETWEEN 2.5.0 and 2.5.0.1
No code changes. However, CFF_CONFIG_OPTION_OLD_ENGINE was
accidentally enabled.
