Initial support was introduced in PRs #111, #112, #136, #190, and #223. The final PR has been merged.
Thanks to the author @rexfleischer and co-authors @Tom-Ski and @zly2006, whose PRs contributed to these changes. 🙏

In a subsequent PR #239, I refined the solution into its final version, which is included in this release.

As a result, the dylib built for the release is universal and can be used on both x86_64 and arm64 architectures. No additional actions or changes to dependencies are required from the user.

For more information, see the article on FreeType.

Initially, the binding provided two versions of the native part for the three main OSes. One was built with FreeType included, and the other without. The latter was primarily recommended, as the FreeType version required the library to be installed on the user's system (relevant only for Unix users). Starting with this release, FreeType is statically compiled into the native part of the library. Thus, there is no longer a need to install the library on the user's system.

In terms of impact, you will notice an overall improvement in font quality across all platforms. Additionally, you can start using the ImGuiFreeTypeBuilderFlags for your purposes. (And colorful glyphs, yep 🍰). l No additional actions are required, as FreeType will be included by default.

Since there is no longer a need to maintain separate libraries without FreeType, the corresponding files have been removed from the bin folder and excluded from release artifacts.
