I'd go with 2.6.0 released in Jun 2015. From the FT 2.6.0 CHANGELOG entry:
- Function `FT_Bitmap_New' has been renamed to `FT_Bitmap_Init',
since this name better reflects its function. For backward
compatibility, the old function name is still available.
- Function `FT_Get_X11_Font_Format' has been renamed to
`FT_Get_Font_Format', since this name better reflects its
function. For backward compatibility, the old function name is
still available.
Additionally, the header file macro for this function has been
renamed to `FT_FONT_FORMATS_H' (the old name `FT_XFREE86_H' is
retained for backward compatibility).
Then you can update all of these as well as dropping the old #ifdefs.
