- Update to version 1.4.99.901
* This is a release candidate of libXfont 1.5.0 - please test and
report any issues found, so we can have a final/stable release
soon to go with the xorg-server 1.16 release.
* *IMPORTANT* This release works with fontsproto 2.1.3 or later
and is for use with the upcoming release of xorg-server 1.16
and later. It will *not* work with older versions of
fontsproto or xorg-server (prior to 1.15.99.901).
* This release includes all the security & bug fixes from
libXfont 1.4.8, plus these additional significant changes:
- Support for SNF font format (deprecated since X11R5 in 1991)
is now disabled by default at build time. For now, adding
--enable-snfformat to configure flags may re-enable it, but
support may be fully removed in future libXfont releases.
- Many compiler warnings cleaned up, including some which
required API changes around type declarations (const char *,
Pointer, etc.).
- README file expanded to explain all the different formats/
options.
