+FTGL 1.0b7
+September 29 2001
+ 1.0b7 (FTGL_1_0_BETA_7)
+ - Tesselation winding rules
+ - Fixed bug in FTContour Add point function
+ - Cleaned up disposal of FTCharmap in FTFace
+ - renamed FTVectorGlyph to FTOutlineGlyph
+ - New distribution structure
+ - Minor changes for windows (VC 6)
+ - Windows and Linux ports.
+
+
+September 20 2001
+ 1.0b6 (FTGL_1_0_BETA_6)
+ - Implemented the new FTCharmap class. The performance improvement
+ is dramatic.
+ - Tidied up the way the freetype FT_Face object is disposed of by
+ FTFont and FTFace. This was a potential crash.
+ - FTVectorGlyph and FTPolyGlyph now disposes of the freetype glyph
+ correctly after initialsation. This was a potential crash.
+ - Preliminary support for unicode...wchar_t Tested with non european
+ fonts.
+ - Added function to calc the advance width of a string.
+ - Minor tidy ups.
+
+August 29 2001
+ 1.0b5 (FTGL_1_0_BETA_5)
+ - Settled on integers for FTSize stuff. NOTE the FTGlyph stuff is still
+ up in the air.
+ - Fixed the positional stuff.
+ - Added Java Doc comments. NOT COMPLETE
+ - Fixes for linux, mainly to clear warnings.
+ - changed the return type for FTFace::Glyph() from a reference to a
+ pointer so it can return NULL on failure.
+ - Related to above...better error handling and reporting in
+ FTGLXXXFont::MakeGlyphList()
+ - Fixed a bug in FTVectoriser that was ignoring non printing characters.
+ This meant that the pen wasn't advanced for spaces etc. It affected
+ polygon and outline font rendering.
+ - Minor tidy ups.
+
+August 21 2001
+ 1.0b4
+ - Changed the mode for FT_Load_Glyph to FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING | FT_LOAD_NO_BITMAP
+ for outline and polygon fonts & FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING for texture fonts.
+ Seems to produce better looking glyphs.
+ - FTGLTextureFont can now use multiple textures to render glyphs if
+ they don't fit within one GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE texture.
+ - Changed FTSize to use bbox for global width and height. Needs more
+ work (eg float or int?) and need to check inconsistancies in freetype.
+ - Being more strict with types eg integer indices and sizes are now unsigned.
+
+August 8 2001
+ 1.0b3 (FTGL_1_0_BETA_3)
+ - I've made fundamental change to the way the glyphlist is built. This
+ is to get round the problems I was having with charmaps. At this stage
+ it is a temporary solution. Previously the glyphList was indexed by
+ char code. Now it's indexed by glyph index and the conversion is done
+ by the freetype function FT_Get_Char_Index(). If this proves to be too
+ slow I'll make my own charmap and use it to index into the glyphlist.
+ This has fixed all the charmap related problems/bugs.
+ - Enabled alpha blend in Pixmap font.
+ - Enabled LINE_SMOOTH in Outline font
+ - Fixed bug that prevented the display of chars >127
+ - Moved pixel store stuff out of BitmapGlyph into BitmapFont.
+ - Minor changes for IRIX (compiles but isn't tested)
+ - Pixmap fonts can now be in colour. It uses the current colour when the
+ font is CREATED. This isn't ideal but is better then the alternatives.
+ - Tidied up the error handling.
+ - Minor code clean ups.
+
+August 6 2001
+ BETA release 1.0b2 (FTGL_1_0_BETA_2)
+ - Minor tidy ups for first public release.
+
+August 3 2001
+ First BETA release 1.0b1 (FTGL_1_0_BETA_1)
+ - All font types are now working, Bitmaps, Pixmaps, Texture, Outline
+ and Polygons. Quality of output and performance varies wildly:)
+
+July 22 2001
+ First ALPHA Release 1.0a1
