[Devel] Re: are we ready for a new release

  Hello,

> Opinions ?

  Would you apply the patch A or B before release?

  Patch A:
   http://x-tt.sourceforge.jp/arch/xtt2-sbit-improvement2_freetype2.patch

  Patch B:
   http://x-tt.sourceforge.jp/arch/xtt2-sbit-improvement2c2_freetype2.patch

  I've maintained the "FreeType" backend of XFree86 server to
support CJK environment mainly.  As you know, the implementation 
of X's Core Font is somewhat old, so we need to devise improvements
and program it.  One of results is using non-public API of freetype2
library.  Using non-public API brought about an important optimization
for loading-speed of CJK fonts.  But this is a problem when using 
dynamic linking.  I want to solve this problem.

  Here is full patchs for XFree86-4.4.0:

  A:
   http://x-tt.sourceforge.jp/arch/xtt2-sbit-improvement2.patch

  B:
   http://x-tt.sourceforge.jp/arch/xtt2-sbit-improvement2c2.patch

  These patch adds minor changes of sbit functionalities(sfnt.h,
ttsbit.c and ttsbit.h) and add a public function to ftxf86.c.

  At least FT_Get_SBit_Strike_Index() of patch B is indispensable
for us.  Please consider the patches....
