2.1 Release
* I've gathered up current CVS (as of 2002-11-21) and put together fcpackage 2.1. This fixes various issues:
* Export some more Xft symbols (Cygwin) that are needed for qt 3.x (#5285, Ralf Habacker)
* Add a bunch more consts to Xft and fontconfig apis
* Update Xft manual (it's still pretty lame)
* Make handling of RGBA constants more consistent and less error prone
* Remove prototype Xft configuration file; its not used anymore
* Destroy images when drawing glyphs with the core protocol
* Remove unnecessary link between FC RGBA values and Render subpixel order constants
* Add image transformation and sub-pixel ordering to Render
* Fix file/face locking to make it more sensible
* Render uses int for 32 bits, Xlib uses long. This matters on alpha
* Miscomputing request length for String16 and String32
* Obey max request length even with BIG-REQUESTS for Trapezoids
* Skip unexpected data in <span class="createlink"><a href="https://secure.freedesktop.org/write/www/ikiwiki.cgi?page=QueryFormats&from=Software%2Ffontconfig%2FOld&do=create" rel="nofollow">?</a>QueryFormats</span>. Deal with broken X servers a bit better
* XRenderQueryPictIndexValues support (from Olivier Chapuis). Bump Render version to 0.7
* Fix fontconfig to obey <span class="createlink"><a href="https://secure.freedesktop.org/write/www/ikiwiki.cgi?page=NothingOutsideProjectRoot&from=Software%2Ffontconfig%2FOld&do=create" rel="nofollow">?</a>NothingOutsideProjectRoot</span>, so that the directory /usr/share/fonts is ignored in this case (#A.1325, Joe Moss).
* Change comments a bit in fonts.conf.in
* Add a bunch more blank glyphs, plus label existing blanks with official unicode names
* Elide historic cyrillic letters from several orthographies as they are unnecessary for modern documents and ill supported by fonts
* English orthography included 0xd. instead of 0xe. for several codepoints. Oops
* Add FC_RGBA_UNKNOWN
* Add fontversion field
* Was losing local cached dirs in global cache list
* In debugging output, mark weakly bound values with (w)
* Pacify gcc 3.2
* Fix alignment issue on sparc
* Fix structure alignment and array wlk bugs Get release 2.1 <a href="http://pdx.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/releases/fcpackage.2_1.tar.gz">here</a>.
2.0 Release
* The first release of Fontconfig is 2.0. Yes, this should by all rights be named 1.0, but there was an earlier library used by XFree86 called 'Xft' which had a 1.0 release and as fontconfig now ships version 2 of Xft, it made some (small) amount of sense to just label the whole mess 2.0.
