* include/freetype/internal/ftmemory.h, src/base/ftutil.c,
src/base/ftmemdbg.c: introducing the new FT_QAlloc and FT_QRealloc
functions that do perform allocation without zero-ing out the
corresponding blocks. Corresponding macros like FT_QALLOC, FT_QNEW,
etc.. have been defined too
* include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h: changed the order of modules
in order to _dramatically_ improve the performance of face open/close
operations. For example, putting the TrueType driver first in the
list results in a 5X speedup when opening Vera.ttf !!
The problem is really that the PCF and/or BDF drivers are broken
and do a lot more than necessary simply to detect that they
cannot handle the font file.
* src/sfnt/ttload.c: small optimization in the kerning table
verifier, speeds up TrueType face opening by about 7%.
Also changed code to use the new FT_QNEW_ARRAY call when
appropriate to slightly improve performance.

Special notes to Unix users
===========================
Please read the file "docs/UPGRADE.UNX". It contains important
information regarding the installation of FreeType on Unix systems,
especially GNU based operating systems like GNU/Linux.
FreeType 2's library is called `libfreetype', FreeType 1's library
is called `libttf'. They are *not* compatible!
FreeType 2.1.9
==============
Please read the docs/CHANGES file, it contains IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
Read the files "docs/INSTALL" for installation instructions.
Note that the FreeType 2 documentation is now available as a
separate package from our sites. See:
ftp://ftp.freetype.org/freetype/freetype2/ftdocs-2.1.9.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.freetype.org/freetype/freetype2/ftdocs-2.1.9.tar.gz

Bugs
====
Please report bugs by e-mail to `devel@freetype.org'. Don't forget
to send a detailed explanation of the problem -- there is nothing
worse than receiving a terse message that only says "it doesn't
work".
Enjoy!
The FreeType Team
