+Amiri 0.105 (2012-12-31)
+------------------------
+* New Quran font:
+ This release feature a new separate Amiri Quran font for typesetting Quran.
+ It is basically a subset of Amiri Regular font with some default settings and
+ features tailored for Quran typesetting requirements that are not suitable
+ for general text. For example:
+ - Covers only the subset of characters required for Quran.
+ - Bigger line height to accommodate waqf marks.
+ - Hamza on yeh or waw when followed by kasra is placed bellow its base.
+ - Supports overline mark (U+0305) that can be used to draw sajda lines in
+ situations where proper overline formating is not available.
+ - The Allah ligature is always active, no checking for surrounding letters or
+ vowel marks, also no automatic insertion of shadda above it.
+ - Some ligatures that are problematic for fully vowelled text are disabled.
+
+* Lots of metrics, mark positioning, kerning and glyph shape tuning. Check GIT
+ log for complete list.
