GSoC Report

[Sarthak Bhardwaj]

Hello Everyone,

 Here's a status update on the Regression Testing GSoC project:


What I have done so far:

1. Modified ftlint to output glyph md5 hashes for fast testing

2. Created a script for regression testing, that can be run locally or in CI

 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/regressiontest/-/merge_requests/1

Almost finalized only a few things need to be improved.

What I am working on:

1. Finalizing the CI script

2. Integrating the script in Freetype's CI

3. Adding CI for macOS and iOS (Migrating azure to GitLab)

This stuff should be in MRs by the weekend. Since FreeType, now has CI for windows and Linux, I believe I don't need to port their azure config


What I will be working on soon:

1. Beautifying the generated web pages and adding functionality (image comparison, etc.)

2. Making the script more robust against unexpected inputs (font failing to render, etc.)

This will be completed by the end of July.

Thanks
Sarthak Bhardwaj
