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