CHANGES BETWEEN 2.6.2 and 2.6.3

  I. IMPORTANT CHANGES

    - Khmer,  Myanmar, Bengali,  and Kannada  script support  has been
      added to the auto-hinter.


  II. MISCELLANEOUS

    - Better  support of  Indic  scripts like  Devanagari  by using  a
      top-to-bottom hinting flow.
    - All  FreeType macros  starting  with two  underscores have  been
      renamed to  avoid a violation of  both the C and  C++ standards.
      Example: Header  macros of the  form `__FOO_H__' are  now called
      `FOO_H_'.  In most cases,  this should be completely transparent
      to the user.   The exception to this  is `__FTERRORS_H__', which
      must be  sometimes undefined by  the user to get  FreeType error
      strings:  Both this  form and  the new  `FTERRORS_H_' macro  are
      accepted for backwards compatibility.
    - Minor improvements mainly to the Type 1 driver.
    - The  new CFF  engine now  supports all  Type 2  operators except
      `random'.
    - The macro `_STANDALONE_', used for  compiling the B/W and smooth
      rasterizers  as   stand-alone  modules,  has  been   renamed  to
      `STANDALONE_', since macro names starting with an underscore and
      followed by an uppercase letter are reserved in both C and C++.
    - Function  `FT_Library_SetLcdFilterWeights'  now  also  activates
      custom LCD filter weights (instead of just adjusting them).
    - Support for  `unpatented hinting'  has been  completely removed:
      Consequently,  the two  functions `FT_Face_CheckTrueTypePatents'
      and  `FT_Face_SetUnpatentedHinting'  now  return  always  false,
      doing nothing.
    - The `ftgamma' demo  program has been modernized;  the gamma grid
      display has been moved from `ftview' to this program.
    - It is now possible to  cycle through the available LCD fitlering
      modes.
