- 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.

* A new rendering module has been added to create 8-bit Signed
Distance Field (SDF) bitmaps for both outline and bitmap glyphs.
* A new, experimental API is now available for surfacing properties
of 'COLR' v1 color fonts.
* A new function `FT_Get_Transform` returns the values set by
FT_Set_Transform.
* The legacy Type 1 and CFF engines are further demoted due to lack
of CFF2 charstring support.
* The experimental 'warp' mode (AF_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_WARPER) for the
auto-hinter has been removed.
* The smooth rasterizer performance has been improved by >10%.
* PCF bitmap fonts compressed with LZW (these are usually files with
the extension .pcf.Z) are now handled correctly.
- Update to version 2.11.0
* A new demo program `ftsdf` is available to display Signed Distance
Fields of glyphs.
* The `ftlint` demo program has been extended to do more testing of
its input.
* The `ttdebug` demo program didn't show changed point coordinates
(bug introduced in version 2.10.3).
* It is now possible to adjust the axis increment for variable fonts
in the `ftmulti` demo program.
* It is now possible to change the hinting engine in the `ftstring`
demo program.
* The graphical demo programs work better now in native color depth
on win32 and x11.

* Contains the fix for CVE-2020-15999
* Minor improvements to the B/W rasterizer.
* Auto-hinter support for Medefaidrin script.
* Fix various memory leaks (mainly for CFF) and other issues that
might cause crashes in rare circumstances.
- Update to version 2.10.4
* In `ftview', custom LCD filter values are now normalized and
balanced. Unorthodox filters are still available through the `-L'
command line option.
* The GUI demo programs can now be resized.
* Demo programs that accept command line option `-k' can now handle
function keys, too. The corresponding character codes start with
0xF1. As an example, the POSIX shell syntax (accepted by bash,
ksh, and zsh) -k $'\xF3q' emulates the pressing of function key `F3'
followed by key `q'.

* 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.
