----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2002-01-30 Release 1.31 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2002-01-27 Release 1.3b5 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* FTBbox now uses float rather then int
* Fixed some more warnings (size_t)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-12-11 Release 1.3b4 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added MAC OSX project (Project Builder)
* Added a function for extruded glyphs that calculates the winding order of
the glyph contour.
* Added FTGL_DEBUG to include memory debugger.
* Added a couple of typedefs to FTGL.h, mainly to aid debugging
* Cleaned up the includes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-11-13 Release 1.3b3 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Texture fonts now behave the same as the others and can be
loaded on demand. This made FTGLTextureFont MUCH simpler!!!! It
has also improved the grid fitting so less texture mem is
needed.
* Refactored FTVectoriser...
This now builds contours and meshes internally and then passes
the raw point data onto the glyphs. The gluTess data is captured
in an internal non static data structure fixing a memory Leak in
PolyGlyph (glCombine).
This has enabled...
* Extruded fonts. FTGLExtrdFont & FTExtrdGlyph.
* Reversed the winding for polyglyphs, extruded glyphs and texture
glyphs to make them CCW
* Bounding box function
* Fixed the != and == operators in ftPoint
* Un-virtualised some functions in FTFont
* Added a demo app to dist.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-11-09 Release 1.21 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Visual Studio projects updated for .cpp source file extensions.
* A couple of windows 'cast' warnings have been fixed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-11-06 Release 1.2 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Glyphs can now be loaded on the fly instead of being pre-cached. If
FTFont::Open() is called with false, FTGlyphContainer will build a list of
null pointers. Then when ever a glyph needs to be access eg by
FTFont::advance or FTFont::render, it will be built and slotted into the
glyphlist in the correct position.
* Removed glext.h from FTGL.h and replaced it with a test for
GL_EXT_texture_object.
* Added padding to texture size calculations.
* Fixed a NASTY bug in FTGLTextureFont. Only came to light after changes to
the glyph preprocessing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-10-31 Release 1.1 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Renamed the source to .cpp
* Removed the static activeTextureID from FTTextureGlyph and replaced it
with a call to
glGetIntegerv( GL_TEXTURE_2D_BINDING_EXT, &activeTextureID);
* Added an include for glext.h in FTGL.h
* Tidied up the glbegin/glEnd pairs in FTTextureGlyph & FTGLTextureFont
* Fixed the problem with doc filenames.
* Tidied up some implicit type conversions.
* Fixed FTCharMap to ensure that a valid default charmap is always created
by the c_stor.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-10-26 Release 1.01 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Removed the glEnable( GL_TEXTURE_2D) from FTGLTextureFont
* Removed the redundant tempGlyph members in the FTGLXXXXFont classes
* Made a change in FTGL.h to include correct headers for MAC OSX
* FTGL.h now includes glu.h
* Minor fixes to get rid of Project Builder warnings (MAC OSX)
* Fixed some of the docs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-10-24 Release 1.0 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Version 1.0 release
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-09-29 Release 1.0b7 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Tesselation winding rules
* Fixed bug in FTContour Add point function
* Cleaned up disposal of FTCharmap in FTFace
* renamed FTVectorGlyph to FTOutlineGlyph
* New distribution structure

----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-09-20 Release 1.0b6 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* 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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-08-29 Release 1.0b5 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* 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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-08-21 Release 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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-08-08 Release 1.0b3 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* 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 than
the alternatives.
* Tidied up the error handling.
* Minor code clean ups.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-08-06 BETA Release 1.0b2 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Minor tidy ups for first public release.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-08-03 First BETA Release 1.0b1 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* All font types are now working, Bitmaps, Pixmaps, Texture,
Outline and Polygons. Quality of output and performance varies
wildly. :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2001-07-22 First ALPHA Release 1.0a1 ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* And so it begins.
