+Change history
+==============
+
+- v2.6e (2017/09/22)
+
+ * Re-enable use of `HyphenChar=None` in LuaLaTeX. (Hyphenation and font choice are
+ decoupled in LuaTeX, except for this one setting.)
+ * Some internal changes needed by `unicode-math` to fix some cross-over code.
+
+
+- v2.6d (2017/08/14)
+
+ * Update Scripts to Unicode 1.8.2 (thanks Werner)
+ * Remove `HyphenChar` feature when running LuaTeX — use `\prehyphenchar` LuaTeX primitive instead.
+ * Rewrite test suite so that automated testing actually functions correctly and automatically. Thanks to Joseph for introducing me to Travis CI.
+
+
+- v2.6c (2017/07/23)
+
+ * Emergency bug-fix.
+
+
+- v2.6b (2017/07/16)
+
+ * Fix conflict with Polyglossia and `Scale=MatchLowercase`.
+ * New feature `IgnoreFontspecFile` to avoid loading the `.fontspec` file for a font.
+ * Fix regression with `\fontspec_if_feature:nTF`
+ (which broke `realscripts`, oops — must improve my test suite)
+
+
+- v2.6a (2017/03/31)
+
+ * Fix crashing bug with `..Reset` and `ResetAll` keys.
+ * Fix crashing bug with `\newfontface`.
+
+- v2.6 (2017/02/12)
+
+ * Change the new behaviour of `\emph` (and `\emfontdeclare`) to act only on the NFSS font shape; using the series as well was too fragile.
+ * Add `\strong` as the "weight" analogy to `\emph`. This will need some extra syntactic sugar from `fontspec` before it becomes truly useful.
+ * Add `Numbers=Tabular` alias for `Numbers=Monospaced`.
+ * Fix occasional bug with "chained" keyval choices such as `Numbers={Lining,Proportional}` in which only the first choice would be recognised.
+ * Fix interaction with `RawFeature` and "proper" `fontspec` features.
+ * Fix regression in which `C:\...` file paths in Windows couldn't be used.
+ * Fix regression in XeTeX in which `Ligatures=TeX` overrode `Mapping=..` regardless of where the former was declared in the feature list.
+ * Fix bug (sorry!) in `\newopentypefeature`.
+ * Improve monospace font in documentation.
+
+ * N.B. There is currently a known issue with TTC fonts and LuaTeX; currently they cannot be loaded through the `fontspec` interface, but this issue should soon be addressed by the `luaotfload` package.
+
+- v2.5d (2017/01/24) "oops"
+
+ * Add `\fontspec_if_small_caps:TF`
+ * Fix bug in `\emph` (!!)
+
+- v2.5c (2017/01/20) "Christmas 2016 release"
+
+ * `TU` font encoding now default, with encoding files provided by the kernel.
+ * Experimental interface added for customising encodings.
+ * Add feature `Ornament=`*n* corresponding to OpenType feature `+ornm=`*n*.
+ * Add feature `FontIndex=`*n* to support TrueType Collection (TTC) files.
+ * Nested `\emph` is now much smarter and will cleverly nest even if manual font changes are made.
+ * Tries to resolve situations when font features clash.
+ E.g., `Numbers={Uppercase,Lowercase}` will define only `+onum` rather than the previous behaviour of `+lnum;+onum` to let the engine sort things out. Coverage may still be preliminary.
+ * Add API function `\fontspec_if_current_feature:nTF` for querying selected features based on their OpenType tag.
+ * Add user function `\IfFontFeatureActiveTF` for querying selected features based on their `fontspec` specification.
+ * All "tag-based" OpenType features are now provided in `Feat`/`FeatOff`/`FeatReset` forms to disable and reset them.
+ * `ResetAll` provided for all "tag-based" OpenType feature keys. (E.g., `Ligatures=ResetAll`.)
+ * Big table of OpenType feature tags to help cross-reference which fontspec feature (if any) corresponds to which OpenType feature.
+ * Bug fixed for `Script` selection.
+
+- v2.5b (2016/05/14) "More bugs" (somehow never released)
+
+ * Fixed bug with garbage text printed in certain "verbatim" situations under LuaTeX.
+ * Improve interaction between optical sizes and small caps.
+ * Remove documentation for `FeatureFile`, since this is no longer supported under LuaLaTeX
+ (there are other methods to perform the same thing, but no "easy" user interface that `fontspec` can provide at this stage).
+ * Fix regression causing an error message if `fontspec` loaded before `\documentclass'.
+
+- v2.5a (2016/02/01) "Bugs fixed"
+
+ * Rather embarrassing bug fix! (`unicode-math` was broken.)
+ * Remember to add the `fontspec.cfg` file to the distribution.
+ * Remove `+trep` from `Ligatures=TeX` (no longer necessary).
+ * Add some basic tests using `l3build`; more to come.
+ * Simplify some internal Lua code and package loading code.
+
+- v2.5 (2016/01/30) "TL2016 release"
+
+ * Provide a new Unicode font encoding ("TU") to replace EU1/EU2 and xunicode.
+ * Activate with package option `[tuenc]'; once it becomes the default (later this year), `[euenc]` option will revert to the old behaviour.
+ * New command `\emfontdeclare` for defining font shapes when arbitrarily nesting the `\emph` command.
+ * Allow slanted small caps and better internal methods for "combining" font shapes; this fixes a few bugs.
+ * Incorporate "new" font script tags for Indic fonts. E.g., when selecting `Script=Bengali`, fontspec will first query the font for the `bng2` OpenType script, and if not found select `beng`.
+ * Restrict some font features from being able to be used within `\addfontfeatures` that were causing some font-loading confusion.
+ * Fixed behaviour in which `\baselineskip` and `\f@size` would (possibly) change values after loading the packge.
+ * Remove copy of `fixltx2e`'s code for footnote symbols; handled by LaTeX2e now.
+ * Deprecate `ExternalLocation` for the simpler (and identical) `Path` option.
+ * Improvement to some warnings/info messages.
+ * Improve structure of code.
+
+- v2.4e (2015/09/24)
+
+ * Allow `[Path=...]` to be specified for individual font faces.
+ * Continue to normalise naming with expl3. (Ongoing.)
+
+- v2.4d (2015/07/22)
+
+ * Rename an internal expl3 function or two.
+
+- v2.4c (2015/03/14)
+
+ * v2.4b was never released, sorry!
+ * This time *really* fix `\@fnsymbol` and avoid overwriting it if already fixed.
+ * Fix "`Renderer=Graphite`" (off-by-one error).
+ * Fix some edge cases for `\aliasfontfeature`.
+
+- v2.4b (2014/08/23)
+
+ * Improve backwards compatibility w.r.t. recent argument order change;
+ specifically, if an optional argument is presented before the font name
+ then avoid looking for one afterwards.
+ * Fix \@fnsymbol; it was defined as a \protected macro, where in fact its internal text-or-math switch needed to be instead.
+ * No longer lowercase fontnames internally; this fixes a bug with loading
+ mixed-case ".fontspec" files.
+ * Fixed some documentation typos/inconsistencies related to recent changes.
+
+- v2.4a (2014/06/21)
+
+ * No longer load fixltx2e.sty -- this package should really be loaded before \documentclass.
+ * Avoid deprecated l3fp code.
+ * A couple of bugs introduced with v2.4 fixed.
+
+- v2.4 (2014/06/01)
+
+ * Significant change to the user interface: instead of `\setmainfont[features]{font}`, you now write `\setmainfont{font}[features]`.
+ Backwards compatibility is of course preserved.
+
+ The reason for this change is to improve the visual comprehension of the font loading syntax with large numbers of font features.
+
+ * Defaults for symbolic font families like this can now be specified with
+
+ \defaultfontfeatures[\rmfamily]{...}
+
+ or
+
+ \defaultfontfeatures[\headingsfont]{...}
+ \newfontfamily\headingsfont{...}
+
+ * New `PunctuationSpace=WordSpace` and `PunctuationSpace=TwiceWordSpace` settings, intended for monospaced fonts; these force the space after a period to be exactly one or two spaces wide, respectively, which preserves character alignment across lines.
+
+ * The features above now allow changes to the default settings:
+
+ * `Ligatures=TeX` is enabled by default with `\setmainfont` and `\setsansfont`.
+ * `WordSpace={1,0,0}` and `PunctuationSpace=WordSpace` are now enabled by default for `\setmonofont` to produce better monospaced results.
+ * (These can be adjusted by created your own `fontspec.cfg` file.)
+
+ * `SizeFeatures` can now be nested inside `ItalicFeatures` (etc.) and behaves correctly. This has been a very long overdue bug!
+
+ * New feature `NFSSFamily=ABC` to set the NFSS family of a font to “`ABC`”. Useful
+ when other packages use the `\fontfamily{ABC}\selectfont` interface.
+
+ * New feature `FontFace = {series}{shape}{font}` allows a font face to be loaded with a specific NFSS font series and font shape.
+ A more verbose syntax allows arbitrary font features as well (and this also plays nicely with `SizeFeatures`):
+
+ \fontspec{myfont.otf}[
+ FontFace = {b}{ui}{Font = myfont-bui.otf, <features>} ,
+ ]
+
+ The code above, for example, will allow a bold upright italic font to be selected using the standard NFSS interface: `\fontseries{b}\fontshape{ui}\selectfont`.
+
+ * `\defaultfontfeatures+` (note the `+`) can now be used to append to the default font feature set.
+
+ * Setting the `SmallCapsFont` using the `*`-replacement notation has been improved/fixed.
+
+- v2.3c (2013/05/20)
+
+ * Compatbility with luaotfload 2013/05/20 2.2c, support for older version
+ removed.
+
+- v2.3b (2013/05/12)
+
+ * Compatibility with new (and future) version of luaotfload
+
+- v2.3a (2013/03/16)
+
+ * Bug fix update to retain compatibility with new expl3
+
+- v2.3 (2013/02/25)
+
+ * Add support for per-font options in `\defaultfontfeatures`
+ * Add support for `<fontname>.fontspec` per-font configuration files
+ * Keep up-to-date with expl3 changes
+
+- v2.2b (2012/05/06) "TL2012 version"
+
+ * Fix error with AutoFakeSlant/Bold (#113) and when used with external fonts (#128)
+ * Add warning when using FakeBold in LuaLaTeX, where it's not supported
+ * Fix slshape misassignment introduced in v2.2
+ * Allow fontspec to be loaded before \documentclass
+ (or rather fix the regression that broke this)
+ * Avoid using the calc package now that it's no longer loaded by expl3
+ * Allow multiple values to StylisticSet and Alternate font options
+
+- v2.2a (2011/09/14)
+
+ * Bug fix: improve backwards compatibility for packages that use old
+ fontspec internals such as mathspec.
+
+- v2.2 (2011/09/13)
+
+ * Support alternate selections in CharacterVariant (cvxx in OpenType)
+ using new syntax `[CharacterVariant=5:2]`.
+ * Add `fontspec`-compatible `\oldstylenums` and `\liningnums` commands.
+ * New programmer's function `\fontspec_set_fontface:NNnn` (for use when
+ `\zf@basefont` might previously have been queried).
+ * Log file output is slightly tidier.
+ * Some old lingering bugs squashed:
+ - Small caps font selection was broken in some cases.
+ (Thanks Enrico Gregorio.)
+ - Fonts loaded by filename with under-specified shapes threw an error
+ (e.g., asking explicitly for bold but not italic).
+ (Thanks Vafa Khalighi.)
+ * Documentation improvements largely due to Markus Böhning.
+ * Many internal changes, among which:
+ - `xkeyval` package no longer used for option processing;
+ `expl3`'s `l3keys` used instead.
+ This allows `fontspec` to be loaded before `\documentclass`
+ (thanks Heiko Oberdiek for reporting the issue)
+ and fixes a potential conflict with the `preview` package
+ (thanks again Vafa).
+ - Internal names changed; avoid "\zf@basefont", "\zf@family", etc.
+ from now on -- there are public interfaces now to get access to the
+ same information
+ - Update `expl3` support to latest CTAN version.
+
+- v2.1g (2011/08/02)
+
+ * No longer uses the binhex package, avoiding some name clashes with TIPA
+
+- v2.1f (2011/02/26)
+
+ * Finally add a real error message when a font cannot be found!
+ * Add "Letters=Random" feature.
+ * Fix bug in which "Unknown feature `'..." warnings
+ were shown in the log file.
+ * Some small documentation improvements.
+
+- v2.1e (2010/11/17)
+
+ * Internal changes for luatexbase v0.3.
+
+- v2.1d (2010/11/07)

+ * Bug fix when \itdefault is "sl" rather than "it".
+ E.g., when using the "slides" class.
+ * Minor internal changes, including merging some code from unicode-math.
+
+- v2.1c (2010/10/13)
+
+ * New documentation for defining custom kerning and ligatures
+ when using LuaLaTeX.
+ * Fix bug when defining bold italic fonts by filename.
+ * Avoid infinite loop when the Latin script is requested for a font
+ that does not contain it. TODO: a suitable fallback script should be
+ chosen; right now we just ignore the script selection.
+
+- v2.1b (2010/09/29)
+
+ * Fix for bug introduced in the last release:
+ small caps weren't being automatically selected correctly
+
+- v2.1a (2010/09/27)
+
+ * Fix for colours bug introduced in the last update
+ * Fix for for bad interaction with LuaLaTeX and fallback fonts
+ (such as using \slshape when no slanted font specified)
+ * Behaviour/messaging improvement when scripts/languages are requested
+ that do not exist in the font
+ * Fix bug with detecting font features/scripts in some cases with:
+
+ - `\fontspec_if_feature:n(TF)`
+ - `\fontspec_if_language:n(TF)`
+ - `\fontspec_if_current_script:n(TF)`
+ - `\fontspec_if_current_language:n(TF)`
+
+ * Some messages in the log file are improved
+ * Code for "visible space" fixed for LuaLaTeX use
+ * Lots of internal changes to bring the implementation closer
+ to being "native expl3".
+
+- v2.1 (2010/09/19)
+
+ * Now load xunicode internally for consistent behaviour in
+ XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX.
+ * Font commands now include \fontencoding internally, easing their
+ use together with legacy TeX fonts.
+ * Colour & Opacity now behave a little better.
+ * Nested emphasis with \emph now also occurs inside a "slanted" shape.
+ * Some compatibility commands/options added that were removed.
+ in the transition to v2.
+ * Bug fix for a problem triggered after counters got too high.
+
+- v2.0c (2010/08/01)
+ Bug fix and documentation tune-up.
+
+ * Significant bug fix reported simultaneously by Enrico Gregorio and
+ Don Hosek.
+ * Many documentation improvements and additions due to David Perry.
+ * Documentation typo thanks to John McChesney-Young
+
+- v2.0b (2010/07/14)
+ *Actually* the final release before TeX Live 2010.
+
+ * Improved examples in the documentation, with fewer proprietary fonts

+ manual can be compiled (with pdfLaTeX) by anyone, anywhere
+ * LuaLaTeX fixes for the StylisticSet and Annotation features
+ * New OpenType feature `CharacterVariant` now supported
+ * Minor change: `Ligatures=Historical` is now `Ligatures=Historic` for consistency
+

+ Final release before TeX Live 2010.
+
+ * Bug fix for the Language setting being ignored
+ * Add programmer's command `\fontspec_glyph_if_exist:NnTF`
+ * Many documentation improvements, especially for LuaTeX features
+ `FeatureFile=...` and `Numbers=Arabic`.
+ * Add `Parsi` and `Persian` synonyms for `Language=Farsi`
