    Simple ChangeLog update: 2004-06-23 David Turner <david@freetype.org> * include/freetype/internal/ftmemory.h, src/base/ftutil.c, src/base/ftmemdbg.c: introducing the new FT_QAlloc and FT_QRealloc functions that do perform allocation without zero-ing out the corresponding blocks. Corresponding macros like FT_QALLOC, FT_QNEW, etc.. have been defined too * include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h: changed the order of modules in order to _dramatically_ improve the performance of face open/close operations. For example, putting the TrueType driver first in the list results in a 5X speedup when opening Vera.ttf !! The problem is really that the PCF and/or BDF drivers are broken and do a lot more than necessary simply to detect that they cannot handle the font file. * src/sfnt/ttload.c: small optimization in the kerning table verifier, speeds up TrueType face opening by about 7%. Also changed code to use the new FT_QNEW_ARRAY call when appropriate to slightly improve performance.

      ===========================
    
      Please  read  the file  "docs/UPGRADE.UNX".   It contains  important
      information regarding the installation  of FreeType on Unix systems,
      especially GNU based operating systems like GNU/Linux.
    
      FreeType 2's  library is called `libfreetype',  FreeType 1's library
      is called `libttf'.  They are *not* compatible!

      ====
    
      Please report bugs by  e-mail to `devel@freetype.org'.  Don't forget
      to send  a detailed explanation of  the problem --  there is nothing
      worse  than receiving  a terse  message that  only says  "it doesn't
      work".
