- WHAT'S NEW IN 2.0.1?
-
-COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN 2.0.1 AND 2.0.0
-
-There have been numerous improvements to the design of individual
-glyphs and to the placement of various accents. Since these don't
-affect character metrics, they should not affect the layout of
-documents that used v2.0.0 of the fonts.
-
-Users upgrading existing documents from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 should be aware
-of the following potential incompatibilities:
-
-* Character metrics for some glyphs, especially Mathematical
- Alphanumeric Symbols and APL functional symbols, have changed.
-
-* Kerning between z and following punctuation has been improved.
-
-* In STIX2Math, Stylistic Set 7 (ss07) no longer includes U+2205
-
-* U+2202 PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL and U+1D6DB MATHEMATICAL BOLD PARTIAL
- DIFFERENTIAL are now upright by default.
-
-See below for further details.
-
-TEXT FONTS
-
-* Added U+2423 OPEN BOX to all faces.
-
-* Added Stylistic Set ss02 to select upright parentheses, brackets,
- and braces in Italic and BoldItalic faces.
-
-* Harmonized design of smallcap U+02A9 LATIN SMALL LETTER FENG DIGRAPH
- between Regular and Bold faces.
-
-* Improved design of extended Latin and IPA character glyphs.
-
-* Improved kerning of selected character pairs.
-
-* Improved design and placement of U+0307 COMBINING DOT ABOVE and
- U+0308 COMBINING DIAERESIS.
-
-MATH FONTS
-
-* The following Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols have been improved.
- Note that in some case this has necessitated changes to the
- character metrics.
-
- U+1D504..1D537 Fraktur symbols
- U+1D538..1D56B Double-struck symbols
- U+1D56C..1D59F Bold Fraktur symbols
- U+1D5A0..1D5D3 Sans-serif symbols [SSP]

-
- Note: The ranges marked "[SSP]" are derived from the Source Sans Pro
- fonts, with proportions and weight modified to harmonize with the
- STIX design.
-
-* Added support for Unicode Standard Mathematical Standardized Variants.
-
-* Removed variant form of U+2205 EMPTY SET from Stylistic Set 7 to
- Character Variant 3. NOTE: For most users, the "variant" form will
- be the preferred shape, but the default shape has been left as-is
- for backwards compatibility.
-
-* Improved proportions of existing APL symbols and added an additional
- 16 symbols (see below).
-
-* Corrected glyph for U+1D752 MATHEMATICAL BOLD ITALIC KAPPA SYMBOL.
-
-* Improved positioning of tilde math accent.
-
-* Added dotless variants of U+2148 DOUBLE-STRUCK ITALIC SMALL I and
- U_2149 DOUBLE-STRUCK ITALIC SMALL J.
-
-* Made U+2202 PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL and U+1D6DB MATHEMATICAL BOLD
- PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL upright rather than italic.
-
-* Revised and extended coverage of Enclosed Alphanumeric block
- (U+2460-24FF).
-
-* U+20E1 COMBINING LEFT RIGHT ARROW ABOVE is now extensible.

-
- WHAT'S NEW IN 2.0.0?
-
-In addition to the overall visual redesign, STIX Two incorporates a
-number of significant improvements and additions. Special attention
-has been given to implementing accepted best practices for OpenType
-fonts, such as the use of font features to access variant glyph shapes
-that were previously only available via the Unicode Private Use Areas.
-
-The letterspacing and kerning of the text fonts have been
-significantly improved.
-
-True small capital variants (Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek), accessible
-via the OpenType font feature smcp, have been added for all text
-fonts.
-
-Text (lowercase or oldstyle) numerals, available via the font features
-pnum and onum, have been added, in addition to natural-spacing
-figures.
-
-Alphabetic superscripts and numeric sub- and superscripts, accessible
-via the subs and sups font features, have been added.
-
-Fractions are available via the frac feature, as well as numerators
-(numr) and denominators (dnom).
-
-The OpenType MATH table has been completely rewritten and extended.
-
-Additions have been made to these Unicode blocks:
- Latin-1 Supplement U+0080 - U+00FF
- Latin Extended-A U+0100 - U+017F
- Latin Extended Additional U+0180 - U+024F
- Cyrillic U+0400 - U+04FF
- Greek and Coptic U+0370 - U+03FF
- IPA blocks U+0250 - U+02AF
-
-BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
-
-Because of the scope of the changes, especially to the text fonts,
-STIX Two is not a drop-in replacement for earlier versions. While we
-understand and sympathize with the difficulties caused by the
-incompatibilities we have introduced, we nevertheless felt they were
-necessary to address some of the shortcomings of earlier versions of
-the fonts and to position us to respond to the needs of modern
-publishing.
-
-Earlier versions of the STIX fonts are deprecated and no longer
-supported. We urge all users of the STIX fonts to upgrade to the new
-versions as soon as possible.
-
-To enable the new and old versions of the fonts to coexist during the
-transition phase, the fonts have been renamed as follows:
-
- STIX 1.1.0 STIX 2.0.0
-
- STIX-Regular STIX Two Text
- STIX-Italic STIX Two Text Italic
- STIX-Bold STIX Two Text Bold
- STIX-BoldItalic STIX Two Text Bold Italic
-
- STIX Math Regular STIX Two Math
-
-The four text fonts contain glyphs from Unicode text blocks only. For
-example, all characters from the range U+2190 to U+3063 and U+E000 to
-U+E368 and all plane 1 characters have been removed from the text
-fonts and are now found only in STIX Two Math. Whenever possible,
-characters have been removed from the Private Use Area (U+E000-U+F8FF)
-and made available via font features instead.
-
-The STIX-General packaging of the fonts is no longer supported.
