Overview of changes leading to 2.7.0
Saturday, July 25, 2020

  • Use an implementation for round that always rounds up, some minor fluctuations
    are expected on var font specially when hb-ot callback is used.
  • Fix an AAT's kerx issue on broken rendering of Devanagari Sangam MN.
  • Remove AAT's lcar table support from _get_ligature_carets API, not even much
    use on macOS installed fonts (only two files). GDEF support is the recommended
    one and expected to work properly after issues fixed two releases ago.
  • Minor memory fixes to handle OOM better specially in hb-ft.
  • Minor .so files versioning scheme change and remove stable/unstable scheme
    differences, was never used in practice (always default to stable scheme).
  • We are now suggesting careful packaging of the library using meson,
    https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/wiki/Notes-on-migration-to-meson
    for more information.
  • Distribution package URL is changed, either use GitHub generated tarballs,
    https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/archive/$pkgver.tar.gz
    or, even more preferably use commit hash of the release and git checkouts like,
    git+https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz#commit=$commit
