 389 MinGW).  Fix intel compiler warnings.  Fix multiarch support (don't
 390 destroy multiarch files!)  Require pkg-config.  (Thanks Behdad; better
 391 solution wanted for libxml2 detection!)  Fix typos in orth files and
 392 add orth for Lingala (reported by Denis Jacquerye).  Remove debian/
 393 directory.  Add a configuration file that disables hinting for the
 394 Lohit Gujarati font (since the hinting distorts some glyphs quite
 395 badly).  Sort directory entries while scanning them from disk;
 396 prevents Heisenbugs due to file ordering in a directory (due to Egmont
 397 Koblinger).  Fix Wine's problem with finding fonts.  (Reported by
 398 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer.)  Fix the issues with GNU libiconv vs. libc
 399 iconv (which especially appear on Solarii); patch by Behdad Esfahbod,
 400 approach suggested by Tim Mooney.
 401
 402 2.3.94
 403
 404 fc-cat can take directories as input and creates old-style fonts.cache
 405 listings.
 406 fc-cache takes -r --really-force which blows away all old caches and
 407 regenerates.
 408 Robustness fixes, integer overflow fixes (notably to cache handling
 409 code), toast broken global cache files.
 410 Change binary format to make it compatible with static langset
 411 information (thanks to Takashi Iwai).
 412 Open hashed caches before fonts.cache-2 (Takashi Iwai).
 413 Fix FcFontSetMatch's algorithm, which used to unjustly kill fonts for
 414 not declaring certain elements (Takashi Iwai).
 415 Fix matching bug when multiple elements match; don't use
 416 the sum of all scores, but the best score (James Su).
 417 Make fc-lang more friendly to Windows systems.
 418 Remove archaic chars from Georgian charset; add Euro character to
 419 charsets for European languages.
 420 Fix treatment of broken PCF fonts that don't declare family names.
 421 Pass O_BINARY to open if appropriate (reported by Doodle).
 422 Normalize font directories to the form in which they appear in
 423 config files.
 424 Add a record of the cached directory to the cache file.
 425 Perf optimizations (Dirk Mueller; some reported by Michael Meeks.)
 426 Don't loop infinitely on recursive symlinks.
 427 Make 'make distcheck' work with automake 1.6.3.
 428 Replace 'stamp' target with mkinstalldirs.
 429 Don't stop scanning if a directory in fonts.conf doesn't exist,
 430 because subsequent directories might exist.
 431 Put directory names into global cache (reported by Ronny V. Vindenes).
 432 Treat zh-hk fonts differently from zh-tw fonts.  This patch may cause
 433 fontconfig to treat A-X fonts differently from A-Y fonts; please mail
 434 the fontconfig list if this causes any problems.
 435 Fix for unaligned memory accesses (Andreas Schwab).
 436 Fix treatment of cache directory as read from cache file; don't use
 437 string equality to determine if we have the right file, use inode
 438 equality.
 439 Properly skip past dir caches that contain zero fonts, as occurs
 440 in global caches (reported by Mike Fabian).
 441 Print out full pathname in fc-match -v (reported by Frederic Crozat).
 442 Fix bug where fc-match crashes when given __DUMMY__ property to
 443 match on.
 444
 445 2.3.93
 446
 447 Create cache files in /var/cache/fontconfig with hashed filenames, if
 448 possible, for added FHS compliance.
 449 Make fc-cat read both per-directory and global cache files.
 450 Add config file for Persian fonts from Sharif FarsiWeb, Inc.
 451 Major performance improvements by Dirk Mueller, Stephen Kulow, and Michael Matz at SuSE: in particular, speed up FcFontSetMatch, and inline many functions.
 452 Fix treatment of globs in config files, broken since 2.3.2 and discovered by Mathias Clasen.
 453 Don't use freetype internal headers (patch by Matthias Clasen).
 454 Further space improvements: create langsets statically, so that they can live in .rodata.
 455 Properly align mmapped data structures to make e.g. ia64 happy.
 456 Bug fixes.
 457
 458 2.3.92
 459
 460 Fix corrupted caches bugs from 2.3.91 (reported by Mike Fabian).
 461 Store only basename in the cache, reconstitute on demand
 462 (reported by James Cloos).
 463 Change the rule for artificial emboldening in fonts.conf.in.  This
 464 enables the support for artificial emboldening included in cairo
 465 (patch by Zhe Su).
 466 Add FC_EMBEDDED_BITMAP object type to tell Xft/Cairo whether
 467 to load embedded bitmaps or not (patch by Jinghua Luo).
 468 Fix GCC4 warnings (some by Behdad Esfahbod).
 469 Support localized font family and style names; this has been reported
 470 to break old apps like xfd, but modern (gtk+/qt/mozilla) apps work
 471 fine (patch by Zhe Su).
 472 Prevent fc-list from escaping strings when printing them (reported by
 473 Matthias Clasen).
 474 Add valist sentinel markup for FcObjectSetBuild and
 475 FcPatternBuild (patch by Marcus Meissner).
 476 Add consts to variables so as to move arrays into .rodata (patch by
 477 Ross Burton).
 478 Modify config file to use Greek fonts before Asian fonts with
 479 Greek glyphs. (patch by Simos Xenitellis).
 480 Use libtool -no-undefined flag on all platforms (patch by Christian
 481 Biesinger).
 482
 483 2.3.91
 484
 485 Use libxml2 if requested or if expat not available. (Mathias Hasselmann)
 486 Fix multi-arch cache files: compute the position for the
 487 block to be added using info from OrigFile, not NewFile. (plam)
 488 Cast results of sizeof() to unsigned int to get rid of
 489 warnings on x86_64 (reported by Matthias Clasen).
 490 Use FcAtomic to rewrite cache files; don't unlink the fonts.cache-2
 491 file even if there's no data to write; just write an empty cache file.
 492 (Reported by Lubos Lunak)
 493 Allocate room for the subdirectory names in each directory cache.
 494 (Reported by James Cloos)
 495
 496 2.3.90

 518
 519 Fix memory leak of patterns rejected by configuration (#2518)
 520
 521 Create prototype /etc/fonts/conf.d directory and populate it with a few
 522 sample files.  These samples are unused as the file names don't start with
 523 numbers.
 524
 525 Update documentation.

 556
 557 2.2.97
 558
 559 Fc-cache sleeps before exiting to ensure filesystem timestamps are well
 560 ordered.
 561
 562 Added Punjai orthography.
 563
 564 The timestamp in fonts.conf is gone now.  Too many problems.
 565
 566 The default font path includes all of the X fonts; use selectfont/rejectfont
 567 to eliminate bitmaps, as shown in the sample local.conf file.
 568
 569 <include> configuration elements may now reference a directory.  Files
 570 in that directory matching [0-9]* are loaded in UTF-8 collating sequence order.
 571
 572 <selectfont> configuration added to control which fonts are used.
 573
 574 fontformat font pattern elements built from the FT_Get_X11_Font_Format
 575 function in newer versions of FreeType.
 576
 577 'capability' list constructed from gsub/gpos and silf values in TrueType
 578 files.

 581 parallel <foo>lang properties marking language.
 582
 583 2.2.96
 584
 585 Fix FcConfigUpToDate to actually check all font directories and eliminate
 586 a typo which completely prevented it from working (Lubos Lunak
 587 <l.lunak@suse.cz>)
 588
 589 Remove comma at end of FcResult enum definition for picky compilers.
 590
 591 2.2.95
 592
 593 Add FcResultOutOfMemory so FcFontSetMatch can return accurate error.
 594
 595 Replace MIN/MAX/ABS macros which happened to be in old FreeType releases
 596 with FC_MIN/FC_MAX/FC_ABS macros owned by fontconfig.
 597
 598 2.2.94
 599
 600 The 2.2.93 release was prepared with a broken libtool which created
 601 the shared library without the '.so' in the file names.
 602
 603 2.2.93
 604
 605 This is the third prerelease of fontconfig 2.3.  Significant changes from
 606 2.2.92 are:
 607
 608  o      Use new FreeType #include syntax
 609  o      use y_ppem field instead of 'height' in bitmap sizes rec -
 610         FreeType changed the semantics.  Still uses height for
 611         older versions of FreeType
 612  o      Don't construct program manuals unless docbook is available
 613
 614 2.2.92
 615
 616  o      make distcheck work
 617
 618 2.2.91
 619
 620  o      Switch to SGML manuals
 621  o      Add FC_DUAL width spacing value
 622  o      Add FcFini to close out fontconfig and release all memory
 623
 624 2.2
 625
 626 This is the third public release of fontconfig, a font configuration and
 627 customization library.  Fontconfig is designed to locate fonts within the
 628 system and select them according to requirements specified by applications.
 629
 630 Fontconfig is not a rasterization library, nor does it impose a particular
 631 rasterization library on the application.  The X-specific library
 632 'Xft' uses fontconfig along with freetype to specify and rasterize fonts.
