Hello.

FreeType 2.7

2016-09-08

We start a new ‘minor’ series, which finally allows us to activate a new 
default mode for bytecode hinting (see also the announcements below for 
version 2.6.4 and 2.6.5): Subpixel hinting, also known as ClearType 
hinting.

In case you are already using subpixel hinting (for example, by using 
the ‘Infinality patches’ as provided by some GNU/Linux or BSD 
distributions, or directly from bohoomil.com), be noted that the new 
mode might provide subtle differences; the code was simplified to make 
it much faster. If you are used to the old full-pixel hinting, you will 
see many rendering changes. If you really dislike them, you can disable 
them at compile time or using the new FREETYPE_PROPERTIES environment 
variable.
