IMPORTANT BUG FIXES + + - A variant of vulnerability CVE-2014-2240 was identified + (cf. http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?43661) and fixed in the + new CFF driver.

MISCELLANEOUS + + - Improvements to the auto-hinter's algorithm to recognize stems + and local extrema. + + - Function `FT_Get_SubGlyph_Info' always returned an error even in + case of success. + + - Version 2.5.1 introduced major bugs in the cjk part of the + auto-hinter, which are now fixed. + + - The `FT_Sfnt_Tag' enumeration values have been changed to + uppercase, e.g. `FT_SFNT_HEAD'.
