CHANGES BETWEEN 2.3.12 and 2.4.0
I. IMPORTANT CHANGES
- Since May 2010, all patents regarding the TrueType bytecode
interpreter have expired worldwide. Consequently, we now define
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER by default (and undefine
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_UNPATENTED_HINTING).
- A new function `FT_Library_SetLcdFilterWeights' is available to
adjust the filter weights set by `FT_Library_SetLcdFilter'.
II. MISCELLANEOUS
- Thanks to many reports from Robert Święcki, FreeType's stability
in handling broken or damaged fonts could be much improved.

FreeType Patents Disclaimer
August 1999
WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT APPLE OWNS SEVERAL PATENTS RELATED TO THE
RENDERING OF TRUETYPE FONTS. THIS COULD MEAN THAT THE FREE USE OF
FREETYPE MIGHT BE ILLEGAL IN THE USA, JAPAN, AND POSSIBLY OTHER
COUNTRIES, BE IT IN PROPRIETARY OR FREE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS.
FOR MORE DETAILS, WE STRONGLY ADVISE YOU TO GO TO THE FREETYPE
PATENTS PAGE AT THE FOLLOWING WEB ADDRESS:
http://www.freetype.org/patents.html
WE WILL NOT PLACE INFORMATION IN THIS FILE AS THE SITUATION IS STILL
UNDETERMINED FOR NOW. AT THE TIME THESE LINES ARE WRITTEN, WE HAVE
CONTACTED APPLE'S LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND ARE STILL WAITING FOR THEIR
ANSWER ON THE SUBJECT.
PLEASE READ THE `INSTALL' FILE TO SEE HOW TO DISABLE THE ENGINE'S
BYTECODE INTERPRETER IN ORDER TO BUILD A PATENT-FREE ENGINE, AT THE
COST OF RENDERING QUALITY.

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:
/* #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER */
- change it to:
#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
These steps must be done _before_ compiling the library.
