(Behdad Esfahbod) + +- A new experimental feature, “Variable Composites” (enabled by passing + -Dexperimental_api=true to meson), is also featured in this release. + This technology enables drastic compression of fonts in the Chinese, + Japanese, Korean, and other writing systems, by reusing the OpenType Font + Variations technology for encoding “smart components” into the font. + + The specification for these extensions to the font format can be found in: + https://github.com/harfbuzz/boring-expansion-spec/blob/glyf1/glyf1.md + + A test variable-font with ~7160 Hangul syllables derived from the + NotoSerifKR-VF font has been built, with existing OpenType technology, as + well as with the new Variable Composites (VarComposites) technology.

There are a couple of restrictions + currently: + + - Only works with TrueType (“glyf”) based fonts. “CFF2” fonts are not yet + supported. + - Only supports the case where all axes in a font are pinned. + + (Garret Rieger, Qunxin Liu) + +- Miscellaneous fixes and improvements. + + (Behdad Esfahbod, Christoph Reiter, David Corbett, Eli Schwartz, Garret + Rieger, Joel Auterson, Jordan Petridis, Khaled Hosny, Lorenz Wildberg, + Marco Rebhan, Martin Storsjö, Matthias Clasen, Qunxin Liu, Satadru Pramanik) + + +- New API ++hb_subset_input_pin_axis_location() ++hb_subset_input_pin_axis_to_default() ++hb_subset_preprocess() + + +Overview of changes leading to 5.3.1 +Wednesday, October 19, 2022 +==================================== +- Subsetter repacker fixes.

The draw API supports glyf, CFF and CFF2 + glyph outlines tables, and applies variation settings set on the font as well + as synthetic slant. The new public API is not backward compatible with the + previous, non-public, experimental API. (Behdad Esfahbod) +- The hb-view tool will use HarfBuzz draw API to render the glyphs instead of + cairo-ft when compiled with Cairo 1.17.5 or newer, setting HB_DRAW + environment variable to 1 or 0 will force using or not use the draw API, + respectively. (Behdad Esfahbod) +- The hb-shape and hb-view tools now default to using HarfBuzz’s own font + loading functions (ot) instead of FreeType ones (ft). They also have a new + option, --font-slant, to apply synthetic slant to the font. (Behdad Esfahbod) +- HarfBuzz now supports more than 65535 (the OpenType limit) glyph shapes and + metrics. See https://github.com/be-fonts/boring-expansion-spec/issues/6 and + https://github.com/be-fonts/boring-expansion-spec/issues/7 for details. + (Behdad Esfahbod) +- New API to get the dominant horizontal baseline tag for a given script. + (Behdad Esfahbod) +- New API to get the baseline positions from the font, and synthesize missing + ones. As well as new API to get font metrics and synthesize missing ones. + (Matthias Clasen) +- Improvements to finding dependencies on Windows when building with Visual + Studio. (Chun-wei Fan) +- New buffer flag, HB_BUFFER_FLAG_PRODUCE_UNSAFE_TO_CONCAT, that must be set + during shaping for HB_GLYPH_FLAG_UNSAFE_TO_CONCAT flag to be reliably + produced. This is to limit the performance hit of producing this flag to when + it is actually needed. (Behdad Esfahbod) +- Documentation improvements.

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.

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.

This can be overridden 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().
