[ft-devel] Third Release candidate for FT 2.2 available

[david turner]

Hello

I finally fixed the last problems that prevented GNUstep applications
from working properly in Sarge. Everything now works perfectly on
this distribution. There are still two ways to get the package:

 - a pre-autoconf-ed version, ready to be built, is available at

 http://turnerdavid.neuf.fr/free/freetype-2.2rc3.tar.bz2

 - otherwise, use the CVS server:

  cvs -z3 -d 
:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/freetype co -r 
VER-2-2-0-RC3 freetype2
  cd freetype2
  sh autogen.sh

This version works perfectly in Debian Sarge, and couldn't find any 
problem it introduced.
The "light" hinting mode works extremely well too and will please any 
Mac OS X fan with
"better-shapes-though-blurrier" text :-)

I'll try to install it on other "old" distributions, but again, I'd 
appreciate if some volunteers
would be ready to give a hand.

After that, we'll polish the release and get 2.2 out as soon as possible.

Regards,
