freetype 2.6.1-0.1ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

freetype (2.6.1-0.1ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - Make libfreetype6-dev M-A: same.
    - Error out on the use of the freetype-config --libtool option.
    - Don't add multiarch libdirs for freetype-config --libs.
    - Install the freetype2/freetype/config headers into the multiarch
      include path and provide symlinks in /usr/include.
  * Dropped patches, included upstream:
    - debian/patches-freetype/multi-thread-violations.patch
    - debian/patches-freetype/savannah-bug-41309.patch
    - debian/patches-freetype/savannah-bug-41590.patch
  * debian/patches-freetype/revert_scalable_fonts_metric.patch: dropped,
    can no longer reproduce the issue originally reported in precise, and
    upstream doesn't think this is an appropriate fix.

freetype (2.6.1-0.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * New upstream release (Closes: #804050)

freetype (2.6-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Adjust symbols references for private symbols to sort to a higher (fake)
    version number instead of a lower, so that when linking against
    libfreetype without using its symbols, we don't get a wrong dependency on
    libfreetype6 (>= 1.PRIVATE.1).  Closes: #799445.
  * Pass --without-harfbuzz in debian/rules, to avoid opportunistically
    picking this up as a dependency if libharfbuzz-dev is installed.

freetype (2.6-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release.  Closes: #793751.
    * Includes a fix for a spurious error in FT_Get_SubGlyph_Info.
      Closes: #778493.
    * Includes a fix for an infinite loop in T1 font loading.
      Closes: #798620.
    * Includes a fix for an uninitialized memory bug in font parsers.
      Closes: #798619.
    * Includes fix for an out-of-bounds rate in the Adobe CFF implementation
      (which was not previously enabled in the package build).
      Closes: #773084.
    * Includes a fix for a crasher in xdvi.  Closes: #733894.
    * Fixes support for compressed pcf fonts.  Closes: #780340.
    * Drop various cherrypicked upstream patches from the package.
    * Ship upstream freetype-config manpage in place of our own.
      Closes LP: #1390767.
  * Update symbols file.  Includes dropping various private symbols that
    don't appear to have ever been part of the API.
  * Fix exclusion of redundant license file (txt -> TXT)
  * Re-enable the CFF driver, now that most related fonts have been fixed.
    Closes: #795653.
  * Enable stage1 build without X library dependencies for bootstrapping.
    Closes: #752270, #752271.

  * TrueType files (.ttf) and collections (.ttc)
  * Type 1 font files both in ASCII (.pfa) or binary (.pfb) format
  * Type 1 Multiple Master fonts. The FreeType 2 API also provides
    routines to manage design instances easily
  * Type 1 CID-keyed fonts
  * OpenType/CFF (.otf) fonts
  * CFF/Type 2 fonts
  * Adobe CEF fonts (.cef), used to embed fonts in SVG documents with
    the Adobe SVG viewer plugin.
  * Windows FNT/FON bitmap fonts
