FreeType 1.4 release?

[Kendall Bennett]

Hi Guys,

I am in the process of updating the FT 1.2 sources in our MGL 
graphics library with the latest FT 1.3.1 stuff. However someone 
mentioned to me that FT 1.4 is right around the corner. Can someone 
give me details on when this will be ready? 

Also on a related note, I am wondering whether FT 2 beta 6 is stable 
enough to start developing with for our MGL library. It would be 
interesting if I could build both FT 1.4 and FT 2 beta support into 
our library (the FreeType stuff ends up in binary portable DLL's, so 
this should be doable). However since this will end up being used for 
production products in the short term, I am wary of spending time 
with FT2 if it is not really stable yet. Comments?

Regards,
