      2 Tuesday, July 22, 2014

     10 
     11 Overview of changes leading to 0.9.32
     12 Thursday, July 17, 2014
     13 =====================================
     14 
     15 - Apply Arabic shaping features in spec order exactly.
     16 - Another fix for Mongolian free variation selectors.
     17 - For non-Arabic scripts in Arabic shaper apply 'rlig' and 'calt'
     18   together.

     20 - Fix hb-coretext build.
     21 
     22 
     23 Overview of changes leading to 0.9.31
     24 Wednesday, July 16, 2014
     25 =====================================
     26 
     27 - Only accept valid UTF-8/16/32; we missed many cases before.
     28 - Better shaping of invalid UTF-8/16/32.  Falls back to
     29   U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER now.
     30 - With all changes in this release, the buffer will contain fully
     31   valid Unicode after hb_buffer_add_utf8/16/32 no matter how
     32   broken the input is.  This can be overriden though.  See below.
     33 - Fix Mongolian Variation Selectors for fonts without GDEF.
     34 - Fix minor invalid buffer access.
     35 - Accept zh-Hant and zh-Hans language tags.  hb_ot_tag_to_language()
     36   now uses these instead of private tags.
     37 - Build fixes.
     38 - New API:
     39   * hb_buffer_add_codepoints().  This does what hb_buffer_add_utf32()
     40     used to do, ie. no validity check on the input at all.  add_utf32
     41     now replaces invalid Unicode codepoints with the replacement
     42     character (see below).
     43   * hb_buffer_set_replacement_codepoint()
     44   * hb_buffer_get_replacement_codepoint()
     45     Previously, in hb_buffer_add_utf8 and hb_buffer_add_utf16, when
     46     we detected broken input, we replaced that with (hb_codepoint_t)-1.
     47     This has changed to use U+FFFD now, but can be changed using these
     48     new API.
     49

     57     Arabic shaper.

     59     now.

     87 - Add HB_NO_MERGE_CLUSTERS build option.  NOT to be enabled by default
     88   for shipping libraries.  It's an option for further experimentation

     90   public run-time API for the functionality.

    191 - Build fixes.
    192 
    193 Documentation:

    195   contain no contents.  By next release hopefully we have
    196   some content in.  Enable using --enable-gtk-doc.
    197 
    198 GObject and Introspection:
    199 - Added harfbuzz-gobject library (hb-gobject.h) that has type

    233 Overview of changes leading to 0.9.19

    243 
    244 Overview of changes leading to 0.9.18
    245 Tuesday, May 28, 2013
    246 =====================================
    247 
    248 New build system:
    249 
    250 - All unneeded code is all disabled by default,
    251 
    252 - Uniscribe and CoreText shapers can be enabled with their --with options,
    253 
    254 - icu_le and old shapers cannot be enabled for now,
    255 
    256 - glib, freetype, and cairo will be detected automatically.
    257   They can be force on/off'ed with their --with options,
    258 
    259 - icu and graphite2 are default off, can be enabled with their --with
    260   options,
    261 
    262 Moreover, ICU support is now build into a separate library:
    263 libharfbuzz-icu.so, and a new harfbuzz-icu.pc is shipped for it.
    264 Distros can enable ICU now without every application on earth
    265 getting linked to via libharfbuzz.so.
    266 
    267 For distros I recommend that they make sure they are building --with-glib
    268 --with-freetype --with-cairo, --with-icu, and optionally --with-graphite2;
    269 And package harfbuzz and harfbuzz-icu separately.
    270 
    271 
    272 Overview of changes leading to 0.9.17

    281 Friday, April 19, 2013
    282 =====================================
    283 
    284 - Major speedup in OpenType lookup processing.  With the Amiri
    285   Arabic font, this release is over 3x faster than previous
    286   release.  All scripts / languages should see this speedup.
    287 
    288 - New --num-iterations option for hb-shape / hb-view; useful for
    289   profiling.
    290

    301 Overview of changes leading to 0.9.14
    302 Thursday, March 21, 2013

    312     0.9.13.
    313 
    314 
    315 Overview of changes leading to 0.9.13
    316 Thursday, February 25, 2013
    317 =====================================
    318 
    319 - Build fixes.
    320 - Ngapi HarfBuzz Hackfest in London (February 2013):
    321   * Fixed all known Indic bugs,
    322   * New Win8-style Myanmar shaper,
    323   * New South-East Asian shaper for Tai Tham, Cham, and New Tai Lue,
    324   * Smartly ignore Default_Ignorable characters (joiners, etc) wheb
    325     matching GSUB/GPOS lookups,
    326   * Fix 'Phags-Pa U+A872 shaping,
    327   * Fix partial disabling of default-on features,
    328   * Allow disabling of TrueType kerning.
    329 - Fix possible crasher with broken fonts with overlapping tables.
    330 - Removed generated files from git again.  So, one needs ragel to
    331   bootstrap from the git tree.
    332 
    333 API changes:
    334 - hb_shape() and related APIs now abort if buffer direction is
    335   HB_DIRECTION_INVALID.  Previously, hb_shape() was calling
    336   hb_buffer_guess_segment_properties() on the buffer before
    337   shaping.  The heuristics in that function are fragile.  If the
    338   user really wants the old behvaior, they can call that function
    339   right before calling hb_shape() to get the old behavior.
    340 - hb_blob_create_sub_blob() always creates sub-blob with
    341   HB_MEMORY_MODE_READONLY.  See comments for the reason.
    342 
    343
