+LATEST CHANGES BETWEEN 2.0.7 and 2.0.6
+
+ I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
+
+ - Fixed two bugs in the Type 1 font driver. The first one resulted in a
+ memory leak in subtle cases. The other one caused FreeType to crash when
+ trying to load ".gsf" files (Ghostscript so-called Postscript fonts)
+
+ (this made _many_ KDE application crash on certain systems. FreeType
+ _is_ becoming a critical system component on Linux :-)
+
+
+ - Fixed a memory leak in the CFF font driver
+
+ - Fixed a memory leak in the PCF font driver
+
+ - Fixed the Visual C++ project file "builds/win32/visualc/freetype.dsp"
+ since it didn't include the Postscript hinter component, causing
+ errors at build time..
+
+ - Fixed a small rendering bug in the anti-aliased renderer that only
+ occured when tryong to draw thin (less than 1 pixel) strokes..
+
+ - Fixed "builds/unix/freetype2.a4" which is used to generate
+ a valid "freetype2.m4" for Autoconf use
+
+ - Fixed the OpenVMS Makefiles
+
+
+ II. MISCELLANEOUS
+
+ - added "configure" and "install" scripts to the top-level directory.
+ a GNU-style installation is thus now easily possible with
+
+ ./configure <options>
+ make
+ make install
+
