167 The current HarfBuzz codebase is versioned 2.x.x and is stable
168 and under active maintenance. This is what is used in latest
169 versions of Firefox, GNOME, ChromeOS, Chrome, LibreOffice,
170 XeTeX, Android, and KDE, among other places.
173 Prior to 2012, the original HarfBuzz codebase (which, these
174 days, is referred to as <span class="emphasis"><em>harfbuzz-old</em></span>) was
175 derived from code in <a class="ulink" href="http://freetype.org/" target="_top">FreeType</a>, <a class="ulink" href="http://pango.org/" target="_top">Pango</a>, and
176 <a class="ulink" href="http://qt-project.org/" target="_top">Qt</a>.
177 It is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> actively developed or
178 maintained, and is extremely buggy. All users of harfbuzz-old
179 are encouraged to switch over to the new HarfBuzz as soon as possible.
182 To make this distinction clearer in discussions, the current
183 HarfBuzz codebase is sometimes referred to as
184 <span class="emphasis"><em>harfbuzz-ng</em></span>.
187 For reference purposes, the harfbuzz-old source tree is archived
188 <a class="ulink" href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/harfbuzz.old/" target="_top">here</a>. There
189 are no release tarballs of harfbuzz-old whatsoever.
