* A bunch of new functions has been added to access and process
COLR/CPAL data of OpenType fonts with color-layered glyphs.
* As a GSoC 2018 project, Nikhil Ramakrishnan completely
overhauled and modernized the API reference.
* The logic for computing the global ascender, descender, and
height of OpenType fonts has been slightly adjusted for
consistency.
* `TT_Set_MM_Blend' could fail if called repeatedly with the same
arguments.
* The precision of handling deltas in Variation Fonts has been
increased.The problem did only show up with multidimensional
designspaces.
* New function `FT_Library_SetLcdGeometry' to set up the geometry
of LCD subpixels.
* FreeType now uses the `defaultChar' property of PCF fonts to set
the glyph for the undefined character at glyph index 0 (as
FreeType already does for all other supported font formats). As
a consequence, the order of glyphs of a PCF font if accessed
with FreeType can be different now compared to previous
versions.
This change doesn't affect PCF font access with cmaps.
* `FT_Select_Charmap' has been changed to allow parameter value
`FT_ENCODING_NONE', which is valid for BDF, PCF, and Windows FNT
formats to access built-in cmaps that don't have a predefined
`FT_Encoding' value.
* A previously reserved field in the `FT_GlyphSlotRec' structure
now holds the glyph index.
* The usual round of fuzzer bug fixes to better reject malformed
fonts.

- Update to version 2.6
* Thread safety improvements
* Thai script support has been added to the auto-hinter.
* Arabic script support has been added to the auto-hinter.
* Following OpenType version 1.7, advance widths and side bearing
values in CFFs (wrapped in an SFNT structure) are now always
taken from the `hmtx' table.
* Following OpenType version 1.7, the PostScript font name of a
CFF font (wrapped in an SFNT structure) is now always taken from
the `name' table. This is also true for OpenType Collections
(i.e., TTCs using CFFs subfonts instead of TTFs), where it may
have a significant difference.
* Fonts natively hinted for ClearType are now supported, properly
handling selector index 3 of the INSTCTRL bytecode instruction.
* Major improvements to the GX TrueType variation font handling.
- Update to version 2.6
* ftgrid can now display GX and MM fonts.
* Anti-aliasing rendering modes can now be selected (with keys
F5 and F6).
* The display of point numbers can be toggled with key `D'.
* ftdump now display information on MM and GX variation axes.
* ftmulti can now handle up to six MM or GX axes.
- Refresh overflow.patch
