Change History
--------------

2013/05/11, luaotfload v2.2:
    * There is now a central, non-personal dev repo on github:
      https://github.com/lualatex/luaotfload
    * Synchronisation with ConTeXt from TeXLive 2013, inducing
      backward-incompatible changes in the font structure. A
      backward-compatibility layer has been added for the current
      versions of fontspec, unicode-math and microtype, but it should
      disapear in a future version.
    * Synchronisation with ConTeXt is now easier and can be done by just
      updating luaotfload-merged.lua (<= luatex-fonts-merged.lua from
      the LuaTeX-Plain format)
    * Improved and extended documentation
    * Font filenames are stored in the database (file: lookups more efficient)
    * Optional caching of name: lookups (uses separate cache file)
    * Rewriting and increased fidelity of XeTeX emulation
    * Renaming mkluatexfontdb into luaotfload-tool (the old behavior is kept if
      the script is symlinked or renamed mkluatexfontdb)
    * Added options to luaotfload-tool for simple database queries
    * Logging facilities have been rewritten and allow for more granularity
    * All files have been renamed, abandoning cryptic acronyms; also
      the new prefix is "luaotfload" (<= "otfl")
    * The Adobe Glyph List (font-age.lua) is now built via script (mkglyphlist)
    * Hans adapted the font loader to several of our requests (attribute
      allocation, custom merged package name etc.)
    * Auxiliary functions for package authors
    * Man page for luaotfload-tool
    * Unsupported v1.3 codebase is included in the luaotfload-*lua files. Crude,
      but effective way to support older Luatex binaries
    * implemented basic cache control/stats option for luaotfload-tool

2013/04/27, luaotfload v1.3:
    *  blacklisting lingoes.ttf (segfaults)
    *  unblacklisting ttc fonts (warning: may break LuaTeX < 0.65)
    *  fixing font cache file name with non-ascii characters

2013/04/25, luaotfload v1.29:
    * Reverting the unified resolver, as the database was rebuilt too often
      which made the compilation longer. This will come back improved
      in the next version, hopefully for TeXLive 2013.
    * Fix resolving of Libertine Mono

    * Fix small documentation issues in mkluatexfontdb
    * Fix possible infite loop with fontconfig config files references
    * Adding semibold synonym for bold
    * file:xxx syntax now uses the same search function as name: which
      make more fonts recognized

    * Hack to support Demi fonts
