The announcement [1][2] lists all the changes. > ### FreeType 2.8 ### > 2017-05-13 > > FreeType 2.8 has been released. CFF2 support and OpenType variation font > handling is now complete; the auto-hinter now understands 25 more > scripts, for example N'Ko and Tifinagh. > > See here for a list of changes; noteworthy bug fixes are the handling of > TrueType fonts: unhinted loading didn't work as expected, and the light > auto-hinter used incorrect metrics. > > ### FreeType 2.8.1 ### > 2017-09-16 > > FreeType 2.8.1 has been released. This is mainly a maintenance release > with one important change: By default, FreeType now offers high quality > LCD-optimized output without resorting to ClearType techniques of > resolution tripling and filtering. In this method, called Harmony, each > color channel is generated separately after shifting the glyph outline, > capitalizing on the fact that the color grids on LCD panels are shifted > by a third of a pixel. This output is indistinguishable from ClearType > with a light 3-tap filter. > > See here for a extensive list of changes; noteworthy bug fixes are > correct handling of B/W TrueType hinting and some OpenType variation > font handling issues.
