Monday, January 31, 2022
====================================
- Improved documentation. (Matthias Clasen)
- Internal code cleanup, using C++ standard library more. (Behdad Esfahbod)
- The low 16-bits of face index will be used by hb_face_create() to select a
face inside a font collection file format, while the high 16-bits will be
used by hb_font_create() to load the named instance. (Behdad Esfahbod)

hb_font_set_synthetic_slant(), for improved positioning for synthetically
slanted fonts. (Behdad Esfahbod)
- Fixed unintentional locale dependency in hb_variation_to_string() for decimal
point representation. (Matthias Clasen)
- When applying pair positioning (kerning) the positioning value is split
between the two sides of the pair for improved cursor positioning between
such pairs. (Behdad Esfahbod)
- Introduced new HB_GLYPH_FLAG_UNSAFE_TO_CONCAT, to be used in conjunction
with HB_GLYPH_FLAG_UNSAFE_TO_BREAK for optimizing re-shaping during line
breaking. Check the documentation for further details. (Behdad Esfahbod)

Overview of changes leading to 2.9.0
Wednesday, August 18, 2021
History Repeats Itself (Afghanistan)
====================================

3.0.0 release (https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/issues/3078).
- Support multiple variation axes with same tag, aka HOI.
- The “coretext” testing shaper now passes font variations to CoreText.
- hb-shape/hb-view does not break line at new lines unless text is read from
file.
- hb-view and hb-subset has a --batch now, similar to hb-shape.
- The --batch mode now uses ; as argument separator instead of : used previously.
- The --batch in hb-shape does not expect 0th argument anymore. That is, the
lines read are interpreted as argv[1:], instead of argv[0:].
- The --batch option has been undocumented. We are ready to document it; send
feedback if you find it useful.
- hb-subset got arguments revamps. Added much-requested --gids-file, --glyphs,
--glyphs-file, --unicodes-file, supporting ranges in --unicodes.
- Various bug fixes.

- Subsetter improvements: subsets most, if not all, lookup types now. (Garret Rieger,
Qunxin Liu)
- Fuzzer-found fixes and other improvements when memory failures happen. (Behdad)
- Removed most atomic implementations now that we have C++11 atomic impl. (Behdad)
- General codebase upkeep; using more C++11 features: constexpr constructors, etc.

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()

Monday, September 10, 2018
====================================
- Added 'cmap' API to hb_face_t.

- 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 1.8.7
Wednesday, August 8, 2018

HarfBuzz Hackfest with Jonathan Kew at Web Engines Hackfest at
the Igalia offices in A Coruña, Spain. Thanks Igalia for having
us!

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

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()

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.
