I am happy to announce release of Qt 4.8.7 today bringing over 150
improvements and bug fixes. Qt 4.8.7 provides important security
updates, better support for Mac OS X 10.10 and many requested error
corrections. As a patch release, it does not add new functionality
and maintains full compatibility with previous Qt 4.8.x releases.
Highlights of Qt 4.8.7 are:
Security fix for DoS vulnerability in the BMP image handler
(CVE-2015-0295) as well as security fixes for vulnerabilities
in image handling of BMP (CVE-2015-1858), ICO (CVE-2015-1859)
and GIF (CVE-2015-1860)
Update 3rd party libpng to version 1.6.17 to address known
vulnerabilities in previous version
Update 3rd party libtiff to version 4.0.3 to address known
vulnerabilities in previous version
Better support for running Qt 4.8 applications on Mac OS X
10.10 Yosemite
Many customer requested bug fixes
to symlinks by adding '-L'. (The default is undefined per POSIX.)
This way, SunOS and other opsys have the same PLIST and we don't have
to care that buildlink3 doesn't symlink symlinks.

new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
