I have modified the documentation of the current head to reflect a new
release, and tagged all sources in HEAD with "VER-2-0-7" (I'm still using
the "old" scheme for now)..

I'll make the release tomorrow morning. Hopefully, Werner will have a look
at the new text in docs/CHANGES and reformat it as usual tonight :o)
 

Releasing 2.0.7 now is a good idea. I understand that Keith's code is going
to be handy, but I'm not that enthusiastic about including a new API before
having taken the time to experiment with it..

To answer Antoine's question, there is no limit in our numbering scheme.
The recent 2.1.0 branch was created specifically to be able to experiment
heavily with the sources while releasing bug fixes often for the stable
sources of FreeType.. so the more bug-fix releases, the better :-)

Tomorrow, I'll talk about my plans for FreeType 2.1 and 3.x

Cheers,
