STABLE version -- 4.2.10.171

[futureken1]

How many people are actually using MacType, i would guess it's a tiny amount?? 

The Advanced Chrome patches seem to work for some users that require Direct Write (AnakhaSilver being one), so if it's a small minotiry who require it for MacType, you have to decide whether all this trouble it's causing is worth it.r.

Including myself, I believe there are still tons of users, especially in the Chinese environment treat MacType as a must-have, and "Disabling DirectWrite" can be the only reason they are still sticking with Cent. I also tried with Advanced Chrome, there is still a day and night difference with the text rendering of Chinese characters compare with Cent with DirectWrite disabled + Mactype.

And there are 10x more replies in the Chinese forum who are telling the devs how eagerly they are waiting for the update every day. Have a LITE branch can be helpful for some users, but could also delay the main update, it all depends on how much resources our dear developers have.
