Can take up to two numbers for separate + x / y size. +- Fix CoreText and FreeType scale issues with negative scales. +- Reject blobs larger than 2GB. This might break some icu-le-hb clients + that need security fixes. See: + http://www.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/11450 +- Avoid accessing font tables during face destruction, in casce rogue + clients released face data already. +- Fix up gobject-introspection a bit.

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. +- Add HB_TAG_MAX_SIGNED. +- Make hb_face_make_immutable() really make face immutable! +- Windows build fixes. + + +Overview of changes leading to 0.9.32 +Thursday, July 17, 2014 +===================================== + +- Apply Arabic shaping features in spec order exactly. +- Another fix for Mongolian free variation selectors. +- For non-Arabic scripts in Arabic shaper apply 'rlig' and 'calt' + together. +- Minor adjustment to U+FFFD logic. +- Fix hb-coretext build. + + +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 +Wednesday, July 9, 2014 +===================================== + +- Update to Unicode 7.0.0: + * New scripts Manichaean and Psalter Pahlavi are shaped using + Arabic shaper. + * All the other new scripts to through the generic shaper for + now. +- Minor Indic improvements. +- Fix graphite2 backend cluster mapping [crasher!] +- API changes: + * New HB_SCRIPT_* values for Unicode 7.0 scripts. + * New function hb_ot_layout_language_get_required_feature(). +- Build fixes. + + +Overview of changes leading to 0.9.29 +Thursday, May 29, 2014 +===================================== + +- Implement cmap in hb-ot-font.h. No variation-selectors yet. +- Myanmar: Allow MedialYa+Asat. +- Various Indic fixes: + * Support most characters in Extended Devanagary and Vedic + Unicode blocks. + * Allow digits and a some punctuation as consonant placeholders. +- Build fixes. + + +Overview of changes leading to 0.9.28 +Monday, April 28, 2014 +===================================== + +- Unbreak old-spec Indic shaping. (bug 76705) +- Fix shaping of U+17DD and U+0FC6. +- Add HB_NO_MERGE_CLUSTERS build option. NOT to be enabled by default + for shipping libraries. It's an option for further experimentation + right now. When we are sure how to do it properly, we will add + public run-time API for the functionality. +- Build fixes. + + +Overview of changes leading to 0.9.27 +Tuesday, March 18, 2014 +===================================== + +- Don't use "register" storage class specifier +- Wrap definition of free_langs() with HAVE_ATEXIT +- Add coretext_aat shaper and hb_coretext_face_create() constructor +- If HAVE_ICU_BUILTIN is defined, use hb-icu Unicode callbacks +- Add Myanmar test case from OpenType Myanmar spec +- Only do fallback Hebrew composition if no GPOS 'mark' available +- Allow bootstrapping without gtk-doc +- Use AM_MISSING_PROG for ragel and git +- Typo in ucdn's Makefile.am +- Improve MemoryBarrier() implementation + + +Overview of changes leading to 0.9.26 +Thursday, January 30, 2014 +===================================== + +- Misc fixes. +- Fix application of 'rtlm' feature. +- Automatically apply frac/numr/dnom around U+2044 FRACTION SLASH. +- New header: hb-ot-shape.h +- Uniscribe: fix scratch-buffer accounting. +- Reorder Tai Tham SAKOT to after tone-marks. +- Add Hangul shaper. +- New files: + hb-ot-shape-complex-hangul.cc + hb-ot-shape-complex-hebrew.cc + hb-ot-shape-complex-tibetan.cc +- Disable 'cswh' feature in Arabic shaper. +- Coretext: better handle surrogate pairs. +- Add HB_TAG_MAX and _HB_SCRIPT_MAX_VALUE. + + +Overview of changes leading to 0.9.25 +Wednesday, December 4, 2013 +===================================== + +- Myanmar shaper improvements. +- Avoid font fallback in CoreText backend. +- Additional OpenType language tag mappiongs. +- More aggressive shape-plan caching. +- Build with / require automake 1.13. +- Build with libtool 2.4.2.418 alpha to support ppc64le. + + +Overview of changes leading to 0.9.24 +Tuesday, November 13, 2013 +===================================== + +- Misc compiler warning fixes with clang. +- No functional changes. + + +Overview of changes leading to 0.9.23 +Monday, October 28, 2013 +===================================== + +- "Udupi HarfBuzz Hackfest", Paris, October 14..18 2013. +- Fix (Chain)Context recursion with non-monotone lookup positions. +- Misc Indic bug fixes. +- New Javanese / Buginese shaping, similar to Windows 8.1. + + +Overview of changes leading to 0.9.22 +Thursday, October 3, 2013 +===================================== + +- Fix use-after-end-of-scope in hb_language_from_string(). +- Fix hiding of default_ignorables if font doesn't have space glyph. +- Protect against out-of-range lookup indices. + +- API Changes: + + * Added hb_ot_layout_table_get_lookup_count() + + +Overview of changes leading to 0.9.21 +Monday, September 16, 2013 +===================================== + +- Rename gobject-introspection library name from harfbuzz to HarfBuzz. +- Remove (long disabled) hb-old and hb-icu-le test shapers. +- Misc gtk-doc and gobject-introspection annotations. +- Misc fixes. +- API changes: + + * Add HB_SET_VALUE_INVALID + +Overview of changes leading to 0.9.20 +Thursday, August 29, 2013 +===================================== + +General: +- Misc substitute_closure() fixes. +- Build fixes. + +Documentation: +- gtk-doc boilerplate integrated.
