[Freetype] FreeType 2.0.7 released

Hello,

  FreeType 2.0.7 has been released. This is mostly a bug-fix
  release. It doesn't have new features, except maybe a
  Unix-friendly "configure" script.


Enjoy,

- David Turner




=============================================================================
LATEST CHANGES BETWEEN 2.0.7 and 2.0.6

  I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES

    - Fixed two bugs in the Type 1 font driver.  The first one resulted in a
      memory leak in subtle cases.  The other one caused FreeType to crash
      when trying to load ".gsf" files (Ghostscript so-called Postscript
      fonts).

      (This made _many_ KDE applications crash on certain systems.  FreeType
       _is_ becoming a critical system component on Linux :-)

    - Fixed a memory leak in the CFF font driver.

    - Fixed a memory leak in the PCF font driver.

    - Fixed the Visual C++ project file "builds/win32/visualc/freetype.dsp"
      since it didn't include the Postscript hinter component, causing
      errors at build time.

    - Fixed a small rendering bug in the anti-aliased renderer that only
      occurred when trying to draw thin (less than 1 pixel) strokes.

    - Fixed "builds/unix/freetype2.a4" which is used to generate a valid
      "freetype2.m4" for use with autoconf.

    - Fixed the OpenVMS Makefiles.


  II. MISCELLANEOUS

    - Added "configure" and "install" scripts to the top-level directory.
      A GNU-style installation is thus now easily possible with

          ./configure  <options>
          make
          make install
