      * docs/*: serious rewriting of the documentation
  
      * include/freetype/internal/ftobjs.h, src/base/ftobjs.c, src/bdf/bdfdrivr.c,
      src/pcf/pcfdriver.c, src/pfr/pfrsbit.c, src/sfnt/ttsbit.c,
      src/type42/t42objs.c, src/winfonts/winfnt.c: introduced three new functions
      to deal with glyph bitmaps within FT_GlyphSlot objects. these are:
  
        ft_glyphslot_free_bitmap
        ft_glyphslot_alloc_bitmap
        ft_glyphslot_set_bitmap
  
      these are much more convenient to use than managing the FT_GLYPH_OWN_BITMAP
      flag manually. the font drivers have been modified to use them as well.
  
      * src/cache/ftlru.c: fixed an invalid assertion check

• How to enable the TrueType native hinter if you need it
  --------------------------------------------------------
  
    The  TrueType  bytecode  interpreter  is disabled  in  all  public
    releases  of  the  FreeType  packages  for  patents  reasons  (see
    http://www.freetype.org/patents.html for more details).
  
    However, many Linux distributions do enable the interpreter in the
    FreeType packages (DEB/RPM/etc.) they produce for their platforms.
    If you are using TrueType  fonts on your system, you most probably
    want to enable it manually by doing the following:
  
      - open the file "include/freetype/config/ftoption.h"
  
      - locate a line that says:
  
            #undef TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
  
      - change it to:
  
            #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
  
      of course, this must be done _before_ compiling the library
