CHANGES BETWEEN 2.11.1 and 2.12.0
I. IMPORTANT CHANGES
- FreeType now handles OT-SVG fonts, to be controlled with
`FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SVG` configuration macro. By default, it can
only load the 'SVG ' table of an OpenType font. However, by using
the `svg-hooks` property of the new 'ot-svg' module it is possible
to register an external SVG rendering engine. The FreeType demo
programs have been set up to use 'librsvg' as the rendering
library.
This work was Moazin Kathri's GSoC 2019 project.
