- update to 2.12.0:
- FreeType now handles OT-SVG fonts, to be controlled with
`FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SVG` configuration macro. By default, it can
only load the 'SVG ' table of an OpenType font. However, by using
the `svg-hooks` property of the new 'ot-svg' module it is possible
to register an external SVG rendering engine. The FreeType demo
programs have been set up to use 'librsvg' as the rendering
library.
- The handling of fonts with an 'sbix' table has been improved.
- The internal 'zlib' code has been updated to be in sync with the
current 'zlib' version (1.2.11).
- The previously internal load flag `FT_LOAD_SBITS_ONLY` is now
public.
- Some minor improvements of the building systems, in particular
handling of the 'zlib' library (internal vs. external).
- Support for non-desktop Universal Windows Platform.
- Various other minor bug and documentation fixes.
- The `ftdump` demo program shows more information for Type1 fonts
if option `-n` is given.
- `ftgrid` can now display embedded bitmap strikes.

* The bytecode hinting of OpenType variation fonts was flawed, since
the data in the `CVAR' table wasn't correctly applied.
* Auto-hinter support for Mongolian.
* The handling of the default character in PCF fonts as introduced
in version 2.10.0 was partially broken, causing premature abortion
of charmap iteration for many fonts.
* If `FT_Set_Named_Instance' was called with the same arguments
twice in a row, the function returned an incorrect error code the
second time.
* Direct rendering using FT_RASTER_FLAG_DIRECT crashed (bug
introduced in version 2.10.0).
* Increased precision while computing OpenType font variation
instances.
* The flattening algorithm of cubic Bezier curves was slightly
changed to make it faster. This can cause very subtle rendering
changes, which aren't noticeable by the eye, however.
* The auto-hinter now disables hinting if there are blue zones
defined for a `style' (i.e., a certain combination of a script and
its related typographic features) but the font doesn't contain any
characters needed to set up at least one blue zone.
- Add tarball signatures and freetype2.keyring
- Update to version 2.10.1
* The `ftmulti' demo program now supports multiple hidden axes with
the same name tag.
* `ftview', `ftstring', and `ftgrid' got a `-k' command line option
to emulate a sequence of keystrokes at start-up.
* `ftview', `ftstring', and `ftgrid' now support screen dumping to a
PNG file.
