Summary

This maintenance release for FreeType 2.13.1 includes minor changes to improve user experience. A primary driver behind the update is the principle of least surprise; developers have decided that unexpected changes to the entire font family, such as a sudden shift in appearance, are too risky. This ensures that new versions do not introduce unexpected behaviors for all fonts simultaneously. Instead, the release focuses on fixing issues where glyphs were being incorrectly loaded, introducing new functions like the default named instance retrieval, and adding load flags.
