Log Message:
security update, upstream short changelog ('here' being releasenotes):

FreeType 2.5.3
2014-03-08

FreeType 2.5.3 has been released. All users should upgrade due to fixed
vulnerability in the CFF driver (CVE-2014-2240).

Its main new feature is much enhanced support of auto-hinting SFNT fonts
(i.e., TrueType and CFF fonts) due to the use of the HarfBuzz library.
A more detailed description of this and other changes can be found here.

FreeType 2.5.2
2013-12-08

FreeType 2.5.2 has been released. It fixes a serious bug introduced
in version 2.5.1; all users should upgrade.

A listing of the changes can be found here.

FreeType 2.5.1
2013-11-25

FreeType 2.5.1 has been released, providing three major new features.

   - Support for the WOFF font format, contributed by Behdad Esfahbod.
   - The auto-hinter now supports Hebrew, together with improved support
     for Cyrillic and Greek.
   - The directory layout of the (installed) FreeType header files has
     been simplified.

Among other changes I want to mention that FreeType's TrueType debugger
(ttdebug) has been made more versatile. An exhaustive list of changes
can be found here.

FreeType 2.5
2013-06-19

FreeType 2.5 has been released. A major new feature is support for
color embedded bitmaps (eg. color emoji), contributed by Behdad Esfahbod
on behalf of Google. Additionally, Adobe's CFF engine is now the default,
which makes a good reason to change from the 2.4.x to the 2.5.x series.

On the technical side, the property API to access FreeType module
parameters (FT_Property_Set and FT_Property_Get) is now declared as
stable.

As usual, see this file for the complete release notes, which give
more details. And we have again blog entries from Adobe and Google.

FreeType 2.4.12
2013-05-08

FreeType 2.4.12 has been released. A major new feature is a new parsing
and hinting engine for CFF fonts, contributed by Adobe in collaboration
with Google. It was my job the last few months to fully adapt the code
to FreeType, and we are very pleased with the results. You might also
read the blog entries from Adobe and Google.

In connection with the new CFF engine, the demo programs, especially
ftview and ftdiff, have been improved a lot; as usual, more details
on the changes can be found in the release notes.
