This is a maintenance release; most importantly fixing correct handling of
Type 1 fonts with flex features, which was broken in version 2.9. All users should upgrade.


CHANGES BETWEEN 2.9 and 2.9.1

  I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES

    - Type  1  fonts  containing   flex  features  were  not  rendered
      correctly (bug introduced in version 2.9).

    - CVE-2018-6942: Older  FreeType versions  can crash  with certain
      malformed variation fonts.

        http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-6942


  II. MISCELLANEOUS

    - Bug fix: Multiple calls to `FT_Get_MM_Var' returned garbage.

    - The base  extensions `ftlcdfil' and  `ftfntfmt' are now  part of
      the  base  module  (and  thus no  longer  configurable  in  file
      `modules.cfg').

    - Emboldening of bitmaps didn't work correctly sometimes,  showing
      various artifacts (bug introduced in version 2.8.1).

    - Use  of  the `freetype-config'  script  to  get compilation  and
      linking  options   is  deprecated   since  it   doesn't  support
      cross-compiling, among other  deficiencies.  Instead, you should
      use the `pkg-config' interface.

      The `configure'  script no longer installs  `freetype-config' by
      default.  For  backwards compatibility,  a new  configure option
      `--enable-freetype-config'   is  provided   that  reverts   this
      decision.

    - The auto-hinter script ranges have  been updated for Unicode 11.
      No support  for new scripts  have been added, however,  with the
      exception of Georgian Mtavruli.

    - Support for cmake has been improved.

    - The next  release will  remove support for  Position Independent
      Code  as  needed  by  systems that  prohibit  automatic  address
      fixups, such  as BREW.  [Compilation with  modern compilers that
      use flags like `-fPIC' or `-fPIE' is not affected.]

Hi, I've just pushed the 2.9.1 into rawhide.
