o Allow user controlling AAT features, for whole buffer only currently.
o Several 'morx' fixes.
o Implement tuple-kerns in 'kerx'; Fixes kerning with Apple default
San Francisco fonts.
- Support for color fonts:
o COLR/CPAL API to fetch color layers.
o SVG table to fetch SVG documents.
o CBDT/sbix API to fetch PNG images.
- New 'name' table API.

with previous release.
- Fix extrapolation in 'trak' table.
- Fix hb-font infinite-recursion issue with some font funcs and
subclassed fonts.
- Implement variation-kerning format in kerx table, although without

Overview of changes leading to 2.0.0
Thursday, October 18, 2018
====================================
- Added AAT shaping support (morx/kerx/trak).
Automatically used if GSUB/GPOS are not available respectively.
Set HB_OPTIONS=aat env var to have morx/kerx preferred over
GSUB/GPOS.
- Apply TrueType kern table internally, instead of relying on
hb_font_t callbacks.
- Khmer shaper significantly rewritten to better match Uniscribe.
- Indic3 tags ('dev3', etc) are passed to USE shaper.
- .dfont Mac font containers implemented.
- Script- and language-mapping revamped to better use BCP 47.
- Misc USE and Indic fixes.
- Misc everything fixes.
- Too many things to list. Biggest release since 0.9.1, with
over 500 commits in just over 5 weeks! Didn't intend it to
be a big release. Just happened to become.
- hb-ft now locks underlying FT_Face during use.
API changes:
- Newly-created hb_font_t's now have our internal "hb-ot-font"
callbacks set on them, so they should work out of the box
without any callbacks set. If callbacks are set, everything
is back to what it was before, the fallback callbacks are
null. If you to get the internal implementation modified,
sub_font it.
- New hb_font_funcs_set_nominal_glyphs_func() allows speeding
up character to glyph mapping.
New API:
+HB_FEATURE_GLOBAL_START
+HB_FEATURE_GLOBAL_END
+hb_buffer_set_invisible_glyph()
+hb_buffer_get_invisible_glyph()
+hb_font_funcs_set_nominal_glyphs_func()

+HB_NAME_ID_INVALID
+HB_OT_MAX_TAGS_PER_SCRIPT
+hb_ot_tags_from_script_and_language()
+hb_ot_tags_to_script_and_language()
Deprecated API:
-hb_font_funcs_set_glyph_func()
-hb_unicode_eastasian_width_func_t
-hb_unicode_funcs_set_eastasian_width_func()
-hb_unicode_eastasian_width()
-hb_unicode_decompose_compatibility_func_t

Overview of changes leading to 1.9.0
Monday, September 10, 2018
====================================
- Added 'cmap' API to hb_face_t.
- Face-builder API.
- hb-ot-font re-creation should be much leaner now, as the
font tables it uses are cached on hb_face_t now.
- Internal source header file name changes:
hb-*-private.hh is renamed to hb-*.hh.
New API:
+HB_UNICODE_MAX
+hb_face_collect_unicodes()
+hb_face_collect_variation_selectors()
+hb_face_collect_variation_unicodes()
+hb_face_builder_create()
+hb_face_builder_add_table()
Overview of changes leading to 1.8.8
Tuesday, August 14, 2018
====================================
- Fix hb-icu crash on architectures where compare_exchange_weak() can
fail falsely. This bug was introduced in 1.8.4.
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=873568
- More internal refactoring of atomic operations and singletons.
- API changes:
The following functions do NOT reference their return value before
returning:
* hb_unicode_funcs_get_default()
* hb_glib_get_unicode_funcs()
* hb_icu_get_unicode_funcs()
This is consistent with their naming ("get", instead of "reference")
as well as how they are used in the wild (ie. no one calls destroy()
on their return value.)

Overview of changes leading to 1.6.0
Friday, October the 13th, 2017
====================================
- Update to Unicode 10.
- Various Indic and Universal Shaping Engine fixes as a result of
HarfBuzz Hackfest with Jonathan Kew at Web Engines Hackfest at
the Igalia offices in A Coruña, Spain. Thanks Igalia for having
us!
- Implement Unicode Arabic Mark Ordering Algorithm UTR#53.

+hb_font_set_ptem()
+hb_font_get_ptem()
+hb_ft_font_changed()
Overview of changes leading to 1.5.1
Tuesday, September 5, 2017
====================================
- Fix "unsafe-to-break" in fallback shaping and other corner cases.
All our tests pass with --verify now, meaning unsafe-to-break API
works as expected.
- Add --unicodes to hb-view / hb-shape.
- [indic] Treat Consonant_With_Stacker as consonant. This will need
further tweaking.
- hb_buffer_diff() tweaks.
Overview of changes leading to 1.5.0
Wednesday, August 23, 2017
====================================
- Misc new API, for appending a buffer to another, and for comparing
contents of two buffers for types of differences.
- New "unsafe-to-break" API. Can be used to speed up reshaping
in line-breaking situations. Essentially, after shaping, it returns
positions in the input string (some of the cluster boundaries) that
are "safe to break" in that if the text is segmented at that position
and two sides reshaped and concatenated, the shaping result is
exactly the same as shaping the text in one piece.
hb-view and hb-shape and hb-shape now take --verify, which verifies
the above property.
Some corner cases of the implementation are still not quite working.
Those will be fixed in subsequent releases.
- New API:
hb_buffer_append()
hb_glyph_flags_t
HB_GLYPH_FLAG_UNSAFE_TO_BREAK
HB_GLYPH_FLAG_DEFINED
hb_glyph_info_get_glyph_flags()
HB_BUFFER_SERIALIZE_FLAG_GLYPH_FLAGS
hb_buffer_diff_flags_t
HB_BUFFER_DIFF_FLAG_EQUAL
HB_BUFFER_DIFF_FLAG_CONTENT_TYPE_MISMATCH
HB_BUFFER_DIFF_FLAG_LENGTH_MISMATCH
HB_BUFFER_DIFF_FLAG_NOTDEF_PRESENT
HB_BUFFER_DIFF_FLAG_DOTTED_CIRCLE_PRESENT
HB_BUFFER_DIFF_FLAG_CODEPOINT_MISMATCH
HB_BUFFER_DIFF_FLAG_CLUSTER_MISMATCH
HB_BUFFER_DIFF_FLAG_GLYPH_FLAGS_MISMATCH
HB_BUFFER_DIFF_FLAG_POSITION_MISMATCH
hb_buffer_diff

Overview of changes leading to 1.4.3
Saturday, February 25, 2017
====================================
- Route Adlam script to Arabic shaper.
- Misc fixes.
- New API:
hb_font_set_face()
- Deprecate API:
hb_graphite2_font_get_gr_font()
Overview of changes leading to 1.4.2
Monday, January 23, 2017
====================================
- Implement OpenType Font Variation tables avar/fvar/HVAR/VVAR.
- hb-shape and hb-view now accept --variations.
- New API:
hb_variation_t
hb_variation_from_string()
hb_variation_to_string()
hb_font_set_variations()
hb_font_set_var_coords_design()
hb_font_get_var_coords_normalized()
hb-ot-var.h:
hb_ot_var_axis_t
hb_ot_var_has_data()
hb_ot_var_get_axis_count()
hb_ot_var_get_axes()
hb_ot_var_find_axis()
hb_ot_var_normalize_variations()
hb_ot_var_normalize_coords()
- MVAR to be implemented later. Access to named instances to be
implemented later as well.
- Misc fixes.
Overview of changes leading to 1.4.1
Thursday, January 5, 2017
====================================
- Always build and use UCDN for Unicode data by default.
Reduces dependence on version of Unicode data in glib,
specially in the Windows bundles we are shipping, which
have very old glib.
Overview of changes leading to 1.4.0
Thursday, January 5, 2017
====================================
- Merged "OpenType GX" branch which adds core of support for
OpenType 1.8 Font Variations. To that extent, the relevant
new API is:
New API:
hb_font_set_var_coords_normalized()
with supporting API:
New API:
HB_OT_LAYOUT_NO_VARIATIONS_INDEX
hb_ot_layout_table_find_feature_variations()
hb_ot_layout_feature_with_variations_get_lookups()
hb_shape_plan_create2()
hb_shape_plan_create_cached2()
Currently variations in GSUB/GPOS/GDEF are fully supported,
and no other tables are supported. In particular, fvar/avar
are NOT supported, hence the hb_font_set_var_coords_normalized()
taking normalized coordinates. API to take design coordinates
will be added in the future.
HVAR/VVAR/MVAR support will also be added to hb-ot-font in the
future.
- Fix regression in GDEF glyph class processing.
- Add decompositions for Chakma, Limbu, and Balinese in USE shaper.
- Misc fixes.

Thursday, July 21, 2016
====================================
- Update to Unicode 9.0.0
- Move Javanese from Indic shaper to Universal Shaping Engine.
- Allow MultipleSubst to delete a glyph (matching Windows engine).
- Update Universal Shaping Engine to latest draft from Microsoft.
- DirectWrite backend improvements. Note: this backend is for testing ONLY.
- CoreText backend improvements with unreachable fonts.
- Implement symbol fonts (cmap 3.0.0) in hb-ft and hb-ot-font.
- Blacklist bad GDEF of more fonts (Tahoma & others).
- Misc fixes.
Overview of changes leading to 1.2.7
Monday, May 2, 2016
====================================
- Blacklist another version of Times New Roman (Bold) Italic from Windows 7.

- Fix Tibetan shorthand contractions shaping.
- Improved list of language tag mappings.
- Unbreak build on Windows CE.

Overview of changes leading to 1.2.6
Friday, April 8, 2016
====================================
- Blacklist GDEF table of another set of Times New Roman (Bold) Italic.
- DirectWrite backend improvements. Note: DirectWrite backend is
exclusively for our internal testing and should NOT be used in any
production system whatsoever.
Overview of changes leading to 1.2.5
Monday, April 4, 2016
====================================
- Fix GDEF mark-filtering-set, which was broken in 1.2.3.
Overview of changes leading to 1.2.4
Thursday, March 17, 2016
====================================
- Synthesize GDEF glyph class for any glyph that does not have one in GDEF.
I really hope we don't discover broken fonts that shape badly with this
change.
- Misc build and other minor fixes.
- API changes:
- Added HB_NDEBUG. It's fine for production systems to define this to
disable high-overhead debugging checks. However, I also reduced the
overhead of those checks, so it's a non-issue right now. You can
forget it. Just not defining anything at all is fine.
Overview of changes leading to 1.2.3
Thursday, February 25, 2016
====================================
- Blacklist GDEF table of certain versions of Times New Roman (Bold) Italic,
due to bug in glyph class of ASCII double-quote character. This should
address "regression" introduced in 1.2.0 when we switched mark zeroing
in most shapers from BY_UNICODE_LATE to BY_GDEF_LATE.
This fourth release in a week should finally stablize things...
- hb-ot-font's get_glyph() implementation saw some optimizations. Though,
might be really hard to measure in real-world situations.
- Also, two rather small API changes:
We now disable some time-consuming internal bookkeeping if built with NDEBUG
defined. This is a first time that we use NDEBUG to disable debug code. If
there exist production systems that do NOT want to enable NDEBUG, please let
me know and I'll add HB_NDEBUG.
Added get_nominal_glyph() and get_variation_glyph() instead of get_glyph()
New API:
- hb_font_get_nominal_glyph_func_t
- hb_font_get_variation_glyph_func_t
- hb_font_funcs_set_nominal_glyph_func()
- hb_font_funcs_set_variation_glyph_func()
- hb_font_get_nominal_glyph()
- hb_font_get_variation_glyph()
Deprecated API:
- hb_font_get_glyph_func_t
- hb_font_funcs_set_glyph_func()
Clients that implement their own font-funcs are encouraged to replace
their get_glyph() implementation with a get_nominal_glyph() and
get_variation_glyph() pair. The variation version can assume that
variation_selector argument is not zero. Old (deprecated) functions
will continue working indefinitely using internal gymnastics; it is
just more efficient to use the new functions.
Overview of changes leading to 1.2.2
Wednesday, February 24, 2016
====================================
- Fix regression with mark positioning with fonts that have
non-zero mark advances. This was introduced in 1.2.0 while
trying to make mark and cursive attachments to work together.
I have partially reverted that, so this version is much more
like what we had before. All clients who updated to 1.2.0
should update to this version.
Overview of changes leading to 1.2.1
