The release of FreeType 2.11.0 is presented, a modular font engine that provides a single API for unifying the processing and output of font data in various vector and raster formats.
Among the changes:
- Development has been moved to the GitLab server of the Freedesktop project. Old repositories on Savannah are mirrored.
- An additional renderer is included with the implementation of the FT_RENDER_MODE_SDF mode for creating 8-bit SDF (Signed Distance Fields) bitmaps for glyphs.
- An experimental API has been proposed for accessing COLR v1 color fonts implemented using OpenType's extended color information tables.
- Correct processing of PCF bitmap fonts compressed using the LZW algorithm is provided.
- Added macro FT_DEBUG_LOGGING for debug logging.
