Version and Release numbers ------------------------------- - -For each new public release of FreeType 2, there are generally *three* -distinct `version' numbers to consider: - - * The official FreeType 2 release number, like 2.0.9 or 2.1.3. - - * The libtool (and Unix) specific version number, like 9.2.3. This is - what `freetype-config --version' returns. - - * The platform-specific shared object number, used for example when - the library is installed as `/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.2'. - -The platform-specific number is, unsurprisingly, platform-specific and -varies with the operating system you are using (several variants of -Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, etc.). You should thus _never_ use it, even -for simple tests. - -The libtool-specific number does not equal the release number but is -tied to it. - -The release number is available at *compile* time through the following -macros defined in FT_FREETYPE_H: - - - FREETYPE_MAJOR: major release number - - FREETYPE_MINOR: minor release number - - FREETYPE_PATCH: patch release number - -See below for a small autoconf fragment. - -The release number is also available at *runtime* through the -`FT_Library_Version' API.
