[Fontconfig] 2.3.96: Another 2.4 release candidate

[Keith Packard]

I've tagged today's bits as 2.3.96 in an attempt to get slightly wider
test coverage as we clean the few remaining bugs before 2.4.

e57d7a3eda577712809f83d416a24540  fontconfig-2.3.96.tar.gz

Theres a 2.3.96 tag in the git repository as well.

Please give this a try; aside from config cleanups and a few more minor
bug fixes, this seems like a fairly good preview of 2.4.

Changes since 2.3.95:

Keith Packard:
      Make path names in cache files absolute (NB, cache format change) Stop
      Eliminate pattern freezing
      Add .gitignore
      Construct short architecture name from architecture signature.
      Write caches to first directory with permission. Valid cache in FcDirCacheOpen.
      Eliminate NormalizeDir. Eliminate gratuitous stat/access calls per dir.
      Add architecture to cache filename.
      Eliminate global cache. Eliminate multi-arch cache code.
      Fix up fc-cache and fc-cat for no global cache changes.
      Eliminate ./ and ../ elements from font directory names when scanning.
      Regenerate x86 line in fcarch.tmpl.h to match change in cache data.
      Add x86-64 architecture and signature.
      During test run, remove cache directory to avoid stale cache usage.
      Add ppc architecture
      Revert to original FcFontSetMatch algorithm to avoid losing fonts.
      Rework cache files to use offsets for all data structures.
      Fix build problems caused by cache rework.
      FcCharSetSerialize was using wrong offset for leaves. Make fc-cat work.
      Rework Object name database to unify typechecking and object lookup.
      Skip broken caches. Cache files are auto-written, don't rewrite in fc-cache.
      Fix fc-cat again. Sigh.
      Use intptr_t instead of off_t inside FcCache structure.
      Serialized value lists were only including one value.
      Automatically remove invalid cache files.
      With no args, fc-cat now dumps all directories.
      Revert ABI changes from version 2.3
      Change $(pkgcachedir) to $(fc_cachedir) in fc-cat and fc-cache Makefile.am
      Allow FcTypeLangSet to match either FcTypeLangSet or FcTypeString.
      Remove stale architecture signatures.
      Pass directory information around in FcCache structure. Freeze charsets.
      Fix fc-lang to use new charset freezer API.
      Fontset pattern references are relative to fontset, not array.
      Add some ignores
      Only rebuild caches for system fonts at make install time.
      Fix memory leaks in fc-cache directory cleaning code.
      Add @EXPAT_LIBS@ to Libs.private in fontconfig.pc (bug 7683)
      Avoid #warning directives on non-GCC compilers. (bug 7683)
      Chinese/Macau needs the Hong Kong orthography instead of Taiwan (bug 7884)
      Add Assamese orthography (as.orth). Bug #8050
      Really only rebuild caches for system fonts at make install time.
      Fonts matching lang not territory should satisfy sort pattern lang.
      Prefer Bitstream Vera to DejaVu families.
      Guess that mac roman names with lots of high bits are actually SJIS.
      Document FC_DEBUG values (bug 6393). Document name \ escape syntax.
      Move Free family names to bottom of respective aliases. (bug 7429)
      Unify directory canonicalization into FcStrAddFilename.
      Allow font caches to contain newer version numbers
      Add FcMatchScan to resolve Delicious font matching issues (bug #6769)
      Fix missing initialization/destruction of new 'scan' target subst list.
      Don't segfault when string values can't be parsed as charsets or langsets.
      Using uninitialized (and wrong) variable in FcStrCopyFilename.
      Oops; missed the 60-delicious.conf file.
      Change version to 2.3.96
      Remove ChangeLog
      Update instructions for doing a release. Autogen ChangeLog from git-log.
      Finish INSTALL changes. .gitignore ChangeLog
