+Sunday, July 9, 2023
+====================================
+- New, experimental, WebAssembly (WASM) shaper, that provides greater
+ flexibility over OpenType/AAT/Graphite shaping, using WebAssembly embedded
+ inside the font file. Currently WASM shaper is disabled by default and needs
+ to be enabled at build time. For details, see:
+
+ https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/blob/main/docs/wasm-shaper.md
+
+ For example fonts making use of the WASM shaper, see:
+
+ https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz-wasm-examples
+
+- Improvements to Experimental features introduced in earlier releases:

+ - Support for instancing variable fonts with cubic “glyf” table.
+
+- Many big speed optimizations:
+ - Up to 89% speedup loading variable fonts for shaping.
+ - Up to 88% speedup in small subsets of large (eg. CJK) fonts (both TTF and
+ OTF), essential for Incremental Font Transfer (IFT).

+Friday, December 16, 2022
+====================================
+- A new API have been added to pre-process the face and speed up future
+ subsetting operations on that face. Provides up to a 95% reduction in
+ subsetting times when the same face is subset more than once.
+
+ For more details and benchmarks, see:
+ https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/blob/main/docs/subset-preprocessing.md
+
+ (Garret Rieger, Behdad Esfahbod)
+
+- Shaping have been speedup by skipping entire lookups when the buffer contents
+ don't intersect with the lookup. Shows up to a 10% speedup in shaping some
+ fonts. (Behdad Esfahbod)
+
+- A new experimental feature, “Variable Composites” (enabled by passing
+ -Dexperimental_api=true to meson), is also featured in this release.
+ This technology enables drastic compression of fonts in the Chinese,
+ Japanese, Korean, and other writing systems, by reusing the OpenType Font
+ Variations technology for encoding “smart components” into the font.
+
+ The specification for these extensions to the font format can be found in:
+ https://github.com/harfbuzz/boring-expansion-spec/blob/glyf1/glyf1.md
+
+ A test variable-font with ~7160 Hangul syllables derived from the
+ NotoSerifKR-VF font has been built, with existing OpenType technology, as
+ well as with the new Variable Composites (VarComposites) technology. The
+ VarComposites font is over 90% smaller than the OpenType version of the font!
+ Both fonts can be obtained from the “smarties” repository:
+ https://github.com/behdad/smarties/tree/3.0/fonts/hangul/serif
+
+ When building HarfBuzz with experimental features enabled, you can test
+ the “smarties” font with a sample character like this:
+
+ $ hb-view butchered-hangul-serif-smarties-variable.ttf -u AE01 --variations=wght=700
+
+ (Behdad Esfahbod)
+
+- The HarfBuzz subsetter can now drop axes by pinning them to specific values
+ (also referred to as instancing). There are a couple of restrictions
+ currently:
+
+ - Only works with TrueType (“glyf”) based fonts. “CFF2” fonts are not yet
+ supported.
+ - Only supports the case where all axes in a font are pinned.
+
+ (Garret Rieger, Qunxin Liu)
+
+- Miscellaneous fixes and improvements.

+- The hb-view tool will use HarfBuzz draw API to render the glyphs instead of
+ cairo-ft when compiled with Cairo 1.17.5 or newer, setting HB_DRAW
+ environment variable to 1 or 0 will force using or not use the draw API,
+ respectively. (Behdad Esfahbod)
+- The hb-shape and hb-view tools now default to using HarfBuzz’s own font
+ loading functions (ot) instead of FreeType ones (ft). They also have a new
+ option, --font-slant, to apply synthetic slant to the font. (Behdad Esfahbod)
+- HarfBuzz now supports more than 65535 (the OpenType limit) glyph shapes and
+ metrics. See https://github.com/be-fonts/boring-expansion-spec/issues/6 and
+ https://github.com/be-fonts/boring-expansion-spec/issues/7 for details.
+ (Behdad Esfahbod)
+- New API to get the dominant horizontal baseline tag for a given script.
+ (Behdad Esfahbod)
+- New API to get the baseline positions from the font, and synthesize missing
+ ones. As well as new API to get font metrics and synthesize missing ones.
+ (Matthias Clasen)
+- Improvements to finding dependencies on Windows when building with Visual
+ Studio. (Chun-wei Fan)
+- New buffer flag, HB_BUFFER_FLAG_PRODUCE_UNSAFE_TO_CONCAT, that must be set
+ during shaping for HB_GLYPH_FLAG_UNSAFE_TO_CONCAT flag to be reliably
+ produced. This is to limit the performance hit of producing this flag to when
+ it is actually needed. (Behdad Esfahbod)
+- Documentation improvements. (Matthias Clasen)
