Severity: wishlist

Hi,

2.8.1 has been released and according to the website it provides:

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.
