media-libs/freetype-2.3.7-r2.ebuild with correct version

[Comment 3 Andrey Vihrov 2009-02-07 13:26:30 UTC]

This needs more investigation, since it may no longer be useful at all for the new version or may be significant only to upgrades from a version with lower minor version and not a patchlevel.

Ryan, do you remember why this warning was added? Nothing in ChangeLog explains that but luckily you are around :)

just a warning for people updating from pre-2.3.5 to something later.  there was a libXfont bug open that a lot of people were hitting at the time IIRC, so the X11 herd asked me to add a note.  it should have been removed when 2.3.6 went stable, but i must have forgot about it.

Thank you Ryan. I dropped obsolete warning in 2.3.8.
