+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 Mongolian Free Variation Selectors shaping with certain fonts.
+- Fix Tibetan shorthand contractions shaping.
+- Improved list of language tag mappings.
+- Unbreak build on Windows CE.
+- Make 'glyf' table loading lazy in hb-ot-font.
+
+
+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
+Tuesday, February 23, 2016
+====================================
+
+- CoreText: Fix bug with wrong scale if font scale was changed later.

+- Add test/shaping/README.md about how to add tests to the suite.
+
+
+Overview of changes leading to 1.2.0
+Friday, February 19, 2016
+====================================
+
+- Fix various issues (hangs mostly) in case of memory allocation failure.
+- Change mark zeroing types of most shapers from BY_UNICODE_LATE to
+ BY_GDEF_LATE. This seems to be what Uniscribe does.
+- Change mark zeroing of USE shaper from NONE to BY_GDEF_EARLY. That's
+ what Windows does.
+- Allow GPOS cursive connection on marks, and fix the interaction with
+ mark attachment. This work resulted in some changes to how mark
+ attachments work. See:
+ https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/211
+ https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/commit/86c68c7a2c971efe8e35b1f1bd99401dc8b688d2

+
+
+Overview of changes leading to 1.1.3
+Monday, January 11, 2016
+====================================
+
+- Ported Indic shaper to Unicode 8.0 data.
+- Universal Shaping Engine fixes.
+- Speed up CoreText shaper when font fallback happens in CoreText.
+- Documentation improvements, thanks to Khaled Hosny.

+ hb_font_get_font_extents_func_t
+ hb_font_get_font_h_extents_func_t
+ hb_font_get_font_v_extents_func_t

+ hb_font_funcs_set_font_v_extents_func
+ hb_font_get_h_extents
+ hb_font_get_v_extents
+ hb_font_get_extents_for_direction
+
+ * Buffer message (aka debug):
+ hb_buffer_message_func_t
+ hb_buffer_set_message_func()
+ Actual message protocol to be fleshed out later.
+
+
+Overview of changes leading to 1.1.2
+Wednesday, November 26, 2015
+====================================
+
+- Fix badly-broken fallback shaper that affected terminology.
+ https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/187
+- Fix y_scaling in Graphite shaper.
+- API changes:
+ * An unset glyph_h_origin() function in font-funcs now (sensibly)
+ implies horizontal origin at 0,0. Ie, the nil callback returns
+ true instead of false. As such, implementations that have a
+ glyph_h_origin() that simply returns true, can remove that function
+ with HarfBuzz >= 1.1.2. This results in a tiny speedup.
+
+
+Overview of changes leading to 1.1.1
+Wednesday, November 24, 2015
+====================================
+
+- Build fixes, specially for hb-coretext.
+

+ https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/153
+- If font does not support U+2011 NO-BREAK HYPHEN, fallback to
+ U+2010 HYPHEN.
+- Changes resulting from libFuzzer continuous fuzzing:
+ * Reject font tables that need more than 8 edits,
+ * Bound buffer growth during shaping to 32x,
+ * Fix assertions and other issues at OOM / buffer max-growth.
+- Misc fixes and optimizations.
+- API changes:
+ * All fonts created with hb_font_create() now inherit from
+ (ie. have parent) hb_font_get_empty().
+
+
+Overview of changes leading to 1.0.6
+Thursday, October 15, 2015
+====================================
+
+- Reduce max nesting level in OT lookups from 8 to 6.
+ Should not affect any real font as far as I know.
+- Fix memory access issue in ot-font.
+- Revert default load-flags of fonts created using hb_ft_font_create()
+ back to FT_LOAD_DEFAULT|FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING. This was changed in
+ last release (1.0.5), but caused major issues, so revert.
+ https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/143
+
+
+Overview of changes leading to 1.0.5
+Tuesday, October 13, 2015
+====================================
+
+- Fix multiple memory access bugs discovered using libFuzzer.
+ https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/issues/139
+ Everyone should upgrade to this version as soon as possible.
+ We now have continuous fuzzing set up, to avoid issues like
+ these creeping in again.
+- Misc fixes.
+
+- New API:
+ * hb_font_set_parent().
+ * hb_ft_font_[sg]et_load_flags()
+ The default flags for fonts created using hb_ft_font_create()
+ has changed to default to FT_LOAD_DEFAULT now. Previously it
+ was defaulting to FT_LOAD_DFEAULT|FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING.
+
+- API changes:
+ * Fonts now default to units-per-EM as their scale, instead of 0.
+ * hb_font_create_sub_font() does NOT make parent font immutable
+ anymore. hb_font_make_immutable() does.
+
+

+=====================================
+
+- Fix minor out-of-bounds access in Indic shaper.
+- Change New Tai Lue shaping engine from South-East Asian to default,
+ reflecting change in Unicode encoding model.
+- Add hb-shape --font-size. Can take up to two numbers for separate
+ x / y size.
+- Fix CoreText and FreeType scale issues with negative scales.

+
+
+Overview of changes leading to 0.9.35
+Saturday, August 13, 2014
+=====================================
+
+- Fix major shape-plan caching bug when more than one shaper were
+ provided to hb_shape_full() (as exercised by XeTeX).
+ http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1246370.html
+- Fix Arabic fallback shaping regression. This was broken in 0.9.32.
+- Major hb-coretext fixes. That backend is complete now, including
+ respecing buffer direction and language, down to vertical writing.
+- Build fixes for Windows CE. Should build fine now.
+- Misc fixes:
+ Use atexit() only if it's safe to call from shared library
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82246
+ Mandaic had errors in its Unicode Joining_Type
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82306
+- API changes:
+
+ * hb_buffer_clear_contents() does not reset buffer flags now.
+
+ After 763e5466c0a03a7c27020e1e2598e488612529a7, one doesn't
+ need to set flags for different pieces of text. The flags now
+ are something the client sets up once, depending on how it
+ actually uses the buffer. As such, don't clear it in
+ clear_contents().
+
+ I don't expect any changes to be needed to any existing client.
+
+
+Overview of changes leading to 0.9.34
+Saturday, August 2, 2014
+=====================================
+
+- hb_feature_from_string() now accepts CSS font-feature-settings format.
+- As a result, hb-shape / hb-view --features also accept CSS-style strings.
+ Eg, "'liga' off" is accepted now.
+- Add old-spec Myanmar shaper:
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81775
+- Don't apply 'calt' in Hangul shaper.
+- Fix mark advance zeroing for Hebrew shaper:
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76767
+- Implement Windows-1256 custom Arabic shaping. Only built on Windows,
+ and requires help from get_glyph(). Used by Firefox.
+ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1045139
+- Disable 'liga' in vertical text.
+- Build fixes.
+- API changes:
+
+ * Make HB_BUFFER_FLAG_BOT/EOT easier to use.
+
+ Previously, we expected users to provide BOT/EOT flags when the
+ text *segment* was at paragraph boundaries. This meant that for
+ clients that provide full paragraph to HarfBuzz (eg. Pango), they
+ had code like this:
+
+ hb_buffer_set_flags (hb_buffer,
+ (item_offset == 0 ? HB_BUFFER_FLAG_BOT : 0) |
+ (item_offset + item_length == paragraph_length ?
+ HB_BUFFER_FLAG_EOT : 0));
+
+ hb_buffer_add_utf8 (hb_buffer,
+ paragraph_text, paragraph_length,
+ item_offset, item_length);
+
+ After this change such clients can simply say:
+
+ hb_buffer_set_flags (hb_buffer,
+ HB_BUFFER_FLAG_BOT | HB_BUFFER_FLAG_EOT);
+
+ hb_buffer_add_utf8 (hb_buffer,
+ paragraph_text, paragraph_length,
+ item_offset, item_length);
+
+ Ie, HarfBuzz itself checks whether the segment is at the beginning/end
+ of the paragraph. Clients that only pass item-at-a-time to HarfBuzz
+ continue not setting any flags whatsoever.
+
+ Another way to put it is: if there's pre-context text in the buffer,
+ HarfBuzz ignores the BOT flag. If there's post-context, it ignores
+ EOT flag.
+
+
+Overview of changes leading to 0.9.33
+Tuesday, July 22, 2014
+=====================================
+
+- Turn off ARabic 'cswh' feature that was accidentally turned on.

+
+
+Overview of changes leading to 0.9.31
+Wednesday, July 16, 2014
+=====================================
+
+- Only accept valid UTF-8/16/32; we missed many cases before.
+- Better shaping of invalid UTF-8/16/32. Falls back to
+ U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER now.
+- With all changes in this release, the buffer will contain fully
+ valid Unicode after hb_buffer_add_utf8/16/32 no matter how
+ broken the input is. This can be overriden though. See below.
+- Fix Mongolian Variation Selectors for fonts without GDEF.
+- Fix minor invalid buffer access.
+- Accept zh-Hant and zh-Hans language tags. hb_ot_tag_to_language()
+ now uses these instead of private tags.
+- Build fixes.
+- New API:
+ * hb_buffer_add_codepoints(). This does what hb_buffer_add_utf32()
+ used to do, ie. no validity check on the input at all. add_utf32
+ now replaces invalid Unicode codepoints with the replacement
+ character (see below).
+ * hb_buffer_set_replacement_codepoint()
+ * hb_buffer_get_replacement_codepoint()
+ Previously, in hb_buffer_add_utf8 and hb_buffer_add_utf16, when
+ we detected broken input, we replaced that with (hb_codepoint_t)-1.
+ This has changed to use U+FFFD now, but can be changed using these
+ new API.
+
+
+Overview of changes leading to 0.9.30

+- glib, freetype, and cairo will be detected automatically.
+ They can be force on/off'ed with their --with options,
+
+- icu and graphite2 are default off, can be enabled with their --with
+ options,
+
+Moreover, ICU support is now build into a separate library:
+libharfbuzz-icu.so, and a new harfbuzz-icu.pc is shipped for it.
+Distros can enable ICU now without every application on earth
+getting linked to via libharfbuzz.so.
+
+For distros I recommend that they make sure they are building --with-glib
+--with-freetype --with-cairo, --with-icu, and optionally --with-graphite2;
+And package harfbuzz and harfbuzz-icu separately.

+Overview of changes leading to 0.9.13
+Thursday, February 25, 2013
+=====================================
+
+- Build fixes.
+- Ngapi HarfBuzz Hackfest in London (February 2013):
+ * Fixed all known Indic bugs,
+ * New Win8-style Myanmar shaper,
+ * New South-East Asian shaper for Tai Tham, Cham, and New Tai Lue,
+ * Smartly ignore Default_Ignorable characters (joiners, etc) wheb
+ matching GSUB/GPOS lookups,
+ * Fix 'Phags-Pa U+A872 shaping,
+ * Fix partial disabling of default-on features,
+ * Allow disabling of TrueType kerning.
+- Fix possible crasher with broken fonts with overlapping tables.
+- Removed generated files from git again. So, one needs ragel to
+ bootstrap from the git tree.
+
+API changes:
+- hb_shape() and related APIs now abort if buffer direction is
+ HB_DIRECTION_INVALID. Previously, hb_shape() was calling
+ hb_buffer_guess_segment_properties() on the buffer before
+ shaping. The heuristics in that function are fragile. If the
+ user really wants the old behvaior, they can call that function
+ right before calling hb_shape() to get the old behavior.
+- hb_blob_create_sub_blob() always creates sub-blob with
+ HB_MEMORY_MODE_READONLY. See comments for the reason.
