|     I've packaged 2.1.3 rc3 this morning, you should be able to grab
|     it from the FTP site (and mirrors pretty soon I imagine).
|
|     I have also commited a few changes before that:
|
|       - a fix to the synthetic emboldener (stupid computation
|         bug gave truly bad results :-( )
|
|       - a new PFR-specific API (see FT_PFR_H or <freetype/ftpfr.h>),
|         this is required because PFR faces do not use the same
|         "unit size" for outline coordinates and metrics.
|
|         the new API allows you to retrieve advances and kerning in
|         original metrics units, this is important to implement text
|         layout according to the Digital TV MHP 1.0.2 specification,
|         for example :-)
|
|       - well, FT_Get_Kerning didn't work correctly for PFR faces
|         where "outline_resolution" and "metrics_resolution" differed,
|         so this has been fixed...
|
|     I'm also currently working on Juliusz's patch to support GZip
|     compression. Since the zlib doesn't allow you to open .gz files
|     with arbitrary streams, a small re-implementation of "gzio.c"
|     is needed, i.e. one that handles FT_Stream objects.
|
|     By the way, I don't know how to tweak Autoconf to support an
|     optional dependency on zlib. Does anyone in here knows how to
|     do that simply. I'd like a configure flags, like "--with-zlib"
|     or "--with-gzip" but don't know how to implement that.
|
|     The Jamfiles will be modified to embed the relevant portions
|     of zlib directly into the "src/base/ftgzip" components otherwise.
|
|     Apart from that, there may be a few improvements to the hinters
|     this week-end, and we'll be done for 2.1.3 :-)
