195
196API changes:
197
198- Newly-created hb_font_t's now have our internal "hb-ot-font"
199  callbacks set on them, so they should work out of the box
200  without any callbacks set.  If callbacks are set, everything
201  is back to what it was before, the fallback callbacks are
202  null.  If you to get the internal implementation modified,
203  sub_font it.
204

223
224Deprecated API:
225-hb_font_funcs_set_glyph_func()

246====================================
247- Added 'cmap' API to hb_face_t.
248- Face-builder API.
249- hb-ot-font re-creation should be much leaner now, as the
250  font tables it uses are cached on hb_face_t now.
251- Internal source header file name changes:
252  hb-*-private.hh is renamed to hb-*.hh.
253
254New API:
255+HB_UNICODE_MAX
256+hb_face_collect_unicodes()
257+hb_face_collect_variation_selectors()
258+hb_face_collect_variation_unicodes()

268  https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=873568
269- More internal refactoring of atomic operations and singletons.
270- API changes:
271  The following functions do NOT reference their return value before
272  returning:
273  * hb_unicode_funcs_get_default()
274  * hb_glib_get_unicode_funcs()
275  * hb_icu_get_unicode_funcs()
276  This is consistent with their naming ("get", instead of "reference")
277  as well as how they are used in the wild (ie. no one calls destroy()
278  on their return value.)
279
280

485
486Overview of changes leading to 1.6.0
487Friday, October the 13th, 2017
488====================================
489
490- Update to Unicode 10.
491
492- Various Indic and Universal Shaping Engine fixes as a result of
493  HarfBuzz Hackfest with Jonathan Kew at Web Engines Hackfest at

495  us!
496
497- Implement Unicode Arabic Mark Ordering Algorithm UTR#53.
498
499- Implement optical sizing / tracking in CoreText backend, using
500  new API hb_font_set_ptem().
501

503  using new API hb_ft_font_changed().
504
505- More Graphite backend RTL fixes.
506
507- Fix caching of variable font shaping plans.
508
509- hb-view / hb-shape now accept following new arguments:
510

524
525- Fix "unsafe-to-break" in fallback shaping and other corner cases.
526  All our tests pass with --verify now, meaning unsafe-to-break API
527  works as expected.
528- Add --unicodes to hb-view / hb-shape.
529- [indic] Treat Consonant_With_Stacker as consonant.  This will need
530  further tweaking.

533
534Overview of changes leading to 1.5.0
535Wednesday, August 23, 2017
536====================================
537
538- Misc new API, for appending a buffer to another, and for comparing
539  contents of two buffers for types of differences.
540
541- New "unsafe-to-break" API.  Can be used to speed up reshaping
542  in line-breaking situations.  Essentially, after shaping, it returns
543  positions in the input string (some of the cluster boundaries) that
544  are "safe to break" in that if the text is segmented at that position
545  and two sides reshaped and concatenated, the shaping result is
546  exactly the same as shaping the text in one piece.
547
548  hb-view and hb-shape and hb-shape now take --verify, which verifies
549  the above property.
550
551  Some corner cases of the implementation are still not quite working.
552  Those will be fixed in subsequent releases.
553
554- New API:
555
556hb_buffer_append()
557

637
638- Implement OpenType Font Variation tables avar/fvar/HVAR/VVAR.
639- hb-shape and hb-view now accept --variations.
640- New API:
641
642hb_variation_t

663
664
665Overview of changes leading to 1.4.1
666Thursday, January 5, 2017
667====================================
668
669- Always build and use UCDN for Unicode data by default.
670  Reduces dependence on version of Unicode data in glib,
671  specially in the Windows bundles we are shipping, which
672  have very old glib.
673
674
675Overview of changes leading to 1.4.0
676Thursday, January 5, 2017
677====================================
678
679- Merged "OpenType GX" branch which adds core of support for
680  OpenType 1.8 Font Variations.  To that extent, the relevant
681  new API is:
682
683New API:
684hb_font_set_var_coords_normalized()
685
686  with supporting API:
687
688New API:
689HB_OT_LAYOUT_NO_VARIATIONS_INDEX
690hb_ot_layout_table_find_feature_variations()
691hb_ot_layout_feature_with_variations_get_lookups()
692hb_shape_plan_create2()
693hb_shape_plan_create_cached2()
694
695  Currently variations in GSUB/GPOS/GDEF are fully supported,
696  and no other tables are supported.  In particular, fvar/avar
697  are NOT supported, hence the hb_font_set_var_coords_normalized()
698  taking normalized coordinates.  API to take design coordinates
699  will be added in the future.
700
701  HVAR/VVAR/MVAR support will also be added to hb-ot-font in the
702  future.
703
704- Fix regression in GDEF glyph class processing.
705- Add decompositions for Chakma, Limbu, and Balinese in USE shaper.
706- Misc fixes.
707
708

713- Fix vertical glyph origin in hb-ot-font.
714- Implement CBDT/CBLC color font glyph extents in hb-ot-font.
715
716
717Overview of changes leading to 1.3.3
718Wednesday, September 28, 2016
719====================================
720
721- Implement parsing of OpenType MATH table.
722New API:
723HB_OT_TAG_MATH
724HB_OT_MATH_SCRIPT
725hb_ot_math_constant_t
726hb_ot_math_kern_t

745- Fix build of hb-coretext on older OS X versions.
746
747
748Overview of changes leading to 1.3.1
749Wednesday, September 7, 2016
750====================================

763- Allow MultipleSubst to delete a glyph (matching Windows engine).
764- Update Universal Shaping Engine to latest draft from Microsoft.
765- DirectWrite backend improvements.  Note: this backend is for testing ONLY.
766- CoreText backend improvements with unreachable fonts.
767- Implement symbol fonts (cmap 3.0.0) in hb-ft and hb-ot-font.

770
771

782
783
784Overview of changes leading to 1.2.6
785Friday, April 8, 2016
786====================================
787
788- Blacklist GDEF table of another set of Times New Roman (Bold) Italic.
789- DirectWrite backend improvements.  Note: DirectWrite backend is
790  exclusively for our internal testing and should NOT be used in any
791  production system whatsoever.
792
793
794Overview of changes leading to 1.2.5
795Monday, April 4, 2016
796====================================
797
798- Fix GDEF mark-filtering-set, which was broken in 1.2.3.
799
800
801Overview of changes leading to 1.2.4
802Thursday, March 17, 2016
803====================================
804
805- Synthesize GDEF glyph class for any glyph that does not have one in GDEF.
806  I really hope we don't discover broken fonts that shape badly with this
807  change.
808- Misc build and other minor fixes.
809- API changes:
810  - Added HB_NDEBUG.  It's fine for production systems to define this to
811    disable high-overhead debugging checks.  However, I also reduced the
812    overhead of those checks, so it's a non-issue right now.  You can
813    forget it.  Just not defining anything at all is fine.
814
815
816Overview of changes leading to 1.2.3
817Thursday, February 25, 2016
818====================================
819
820- Blacklist GDEF table of certain versions of Times New Roman (Bold) Italic,
821  due to bug in glyph class of ASCII double-quote character.  This should
822  address "regression" introduced in 1.2.0 when we switched mark zeroing
823  in most shapers from BY_UNICODE_LATE to BY_GDEF_LATE.
824  This fourth release in a week should finally stablize things...
825
826- hb-ot-font's get_glyph() implementation saw some optimizations.  Though,
827  might be really hard to measure in real-world situations.
828
829- Also, two rather small API changes:
830
831We now disable some time-consuming internal bookkeeping if built with NDEBUG
832defined.  This is a first time that we use NDEBUG to disable debug code.  If
833there exist production systems that do NOT want to enable NDEBUG, please let
834me know and I'll add HB_NDEBUG.
835
836Added get_nominal_glyph() and get_variation_glyph() instead of get_glyph()
837
838New API:
839- hb_font_get_nominal_glyph_func_t
840- hb_font_get_variation_glyph_func_t
841- hb_font_funcs_set_nominal_glyph_func()
842- hb_font_funcs_set_variation_glyph_func()
843- hb_font_get_nominal_glyph()
844- hb_font_get_variation_glyph()
845
846Deprecated API:
847- hb_font_get_glyph_func_t
848- hb_font_funcs_set_glyph_func()
849
850Clients that implement their own font-funcs are encouraged to replace
851their get_glyph() implementation with a get_nominal_glyph() and
852get_variation_glyph() pair.  The variation version can assume that
853variation_selector argument is not zero.  Old (deprecated) functions
854will continue working indefinitely using internal gymnastics; it is
855just more efficient to use the new functions.
856
857
858Overview of changes leading to 1.2.2
859Wednesday, February 24, 2016
860====================================
861
862- Fix regression with mark positioning with fonts that have
863  non-zero mark advances.  This was introduced in 1.2.0 while
864  trying to make mark and cursive attachments to work together.
865  I have partially reverted that, so this version is much more
866  like what we had before.  All clients who updated to 1.2.0
867  should update to this version.
868
869
870Overview of changes leading to 1.2.1
871Tuesday, February 23, 2016
872====================================
873
874- CoreText: Fix bug with wrong scale if font scale was changed later.
875  https://github.com/libass/libass/issues/212
876- CoreText: Drastically speed up font initialization.
877- CoreText: Fix tiny leak.
878- Group ZWJ/ZWNJ with previous syllable under cluster-level=0.
879  https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/issues/217
880- Add test/shaping/README.md about how to add tests to the suite.
881
882
883Overview of changes leading to 1.2.0
884Friday, February 19, 2016
885====================================
886
887- Fix various issues (hangs mostly) in case of memory allocation failure.
888- Change mark zeroing types of most shapers from BY_UNICODE_LATE to
889  BY_GDEF_LATE.  This seems to be what Uniscribe does.
890- Change mark zeroing of USE shaper from NONE to BY_GDEF_EARLY.  That's
891  what Windows does.
892- Allow GPOS cursive connection on marks, and fix the interaction with
893  mark attachment.  This work resulted in some changes to how mark
894  attachments work.  See:
895  https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/issues/211
896  https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/commit/86c68c7a2c971efe8e35b1f1bd99401dc8b688d2
897- Graphite2 shaper: improved negative advance handling (eg. Nastaliq).
898- Add nmake-based build system for Windows.
899- Minor speedup.
900- Misc. improvements.
901
902
903Overview of changes leading to 1.1.3
904Monday, January 11, 2016
905====================================
906
907- Ported Indic shaper to Unicode 8.0 data.
908- Universal Shaping Engine fixes.
909- Speed up CoreText shaper when font fallback happens in CoreText.
910- Documentation improvements, thanks to Khaled Hosny.
911- Very rough directwrite shaper for testing, thanks to Ebrahim Byagowi.
912- Misc bug fixes.
913- New API:
914
915  * Font extents:
916      hb_font_extents_t
917      hb_font_get_font_extents_func_t
918      hb_font_get_font_h_extents_func_t
919      hb_font_get_font_v_extents_func_t
920      hb_font_funcs_set_font_h_extents_func
921      hb_font_funcs_set_font_v_extents_func
922      hb_font_get_h_extents
923      hb_font_get_v_extents
924      hb_font_get_extents_for_direction
925
926  * Buffer message (aka debug):
927      hb_buffer_message_func_t
928      hb_buffer_set_message_func()
929    Actual message protocol to be fleshed out later.
930
931
932Overview of changes leading to 1.1.2
933Wednesday, November 26, 2015
934====================================
935
936- Fix badly-broken fallback shaper that affected terminology.
937  https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/issues/187
938- Fix y_scaling in Graphite shaper.
939- API changes:
940  * An unset glyph_h_origin() function in font-funcs now (sensibly)
941    implies horizontal origin at 0,0.  Ie, the nil callback returns
942    true instead of false.  As such, implementations that have a
943    glyph_h_origin() that simply returns true, can remove that function
944    with HarfBuzz >= 1.1.2.  This results in a tiny speedup.
945
946
947Overview of changes leading to 1.1.1
948Wednesday, November 24, 2015
949====================================
950

959  https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/issues/141
960- Disable use of decompose_compatibility() callback.
961- Implement "shaping" of various Unicode space characters, even
962  if the font does not support them.
963  https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/issues/153
964- If font does not support U+2011 NO-BREAK HYPHEN, fallback to
965  U+2010 HYPHEN.
966- Changes resulting from libFuzzer continuous fuzzing:
967  * Reject font tables that need more than 8 edits,
968  * Bound buffer growth during shaping to 32x,
969  * Fix assertions and other issues at OOM / buffer max-growth.
970- Misc fixes and optimizations.
971- API changes:
972  * All fonts created with hb_font_create() now inherit from
973    (ie. have parent) hb_font_get_empty().
974
975
976Overview of changes leading to 1.0.6
977Thursday, October 15, 2015
978====================================
979
980- Reduce max nesting level in OT lookups from 8 to 6.
981  Should not affect any real font as far as I know.
982- Fix memory access issue in ot-font.
983- Revert default load-flags of fonts created using hb_ft_font_create()
984  back to FT_LOAD_DEFAULT|FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING.  This was changed in
985  last release (1.0.5), but caused major issues, so revert.
986  https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/issues/143

988
989Overview of changes leading to 1.0.5
990Tuesday, October 13, 2015
991====================================
992
993- Fix multiple memory access bugs discovered using libFuzzer.
994  https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/issues/139
995  Everyone should upgrade to this version as soon as possible.
996  We now have continuous fuzzing set up, to avoid issues like
997  these creeping in again.
998- Misc fixes.
999
1000- New API:
1001  * hb_font_set_parent().
1002  * hb_ft_font_[sg]et_load_flags()
1003    The default flags for fonts created using hb_ft_font_create()
1004    has changed to default to FT_LOAD_DEFAULT now.  Previously it
1005    was defaulting to FT_LOAD_DFEAULT|FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING.
1006
1007- API changes:
1008  * Fonts now default to units-per-EM as their scale, instead of 0.
1009  * hb_font_create_sub_font() does NOT make parent font immutable
1010    anymore.  hb_font_make_immutable() does.

1034
1035- Fix shaping with cluster-level > 0.
1036- Fix Uniscribe backend font-size scaling.
1037- Declare dependencies in harfbuzz.pc.
1038  FreeType is not declared though, to avoid bugs in pkg-config

1117  x / y size.
1118- Fix CoreText and FreeType scale issues with negative scales.
1119- Reject blobs larger than 2GB.  This might break some icu-le-hb clients

1121  http://www.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/11450
1122- Avoid accessing font tables during face destruction, in casce rogue
1123  clients released face data already.

1140Overview of changes leading to 0.9.36
1141Thursday, November 20, 2014
1142=====================================

1144- First time that three months went by without a release since
1145  0.9.2 was released on August 10, 2012!

1152Overview of changes leading to 0.9.35
1153Saturday, August 13, 2014
1154=====================================
1155
1156- Fix major shape-plan caching bug when more than one shaper were
1157  provided to hb_shape_full() (as exercised by XeTeX).
1158  http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1246370.html
1159- Fix Arabic fallback shaping regression.  This was broken in 0.9.32.
1160- Major hb-coretext fixes.  That backend is complete now, including
1161  respecing buffer direction and language, down to vertical writing.
1162- Build fixes for Windows CE.  Should build fine now.
1163- Misc fixes:
1164  Use atexit() only if it's safe to call from shared library
1165  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82246
1166  Mandaic had errors in its Unicode Joining_Type
1167  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82306
1168- API changes:
1169
1170  * hb_buffer_clear_contents() does not reset buffer flags now.
1171
1172    After 763e5466c0a03a7c27020e1e2598e488612529a7, one doesn't
1173    need to set flags for different pieces of text.  The flags now
1174    are something the client sets up once, depending on how it
1175    actually uses the buffer.  As such, don't clear it in
1176    clear_contents().
1177
1178    I don't expect any changes to be needed to any existing client.
1179
1180
1181Overview of changes leading to 0.9.34
1182Saturday, August 2, 2014
1183=====================================
1184
1185- hb_feature_from_string() now accepts CSS font-feature-settings format.
1186- As a result, hb-shape / hb-view --features also accept CSS-style strings.
1187  Eg, "'liga' off" is accepted now.
1188- Add old-spec Myanmar shaper:
1189  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81775
1190- Don't apply 'calt' in Hangul shaper.
1191- Fix mark advance zeroing for Hebrew shaper:
1192  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76767
1193- Implement Windows-1256 custom Arabic shaping.  Only built on Windows,
1194  and requires help from get_glyph().  Used by Firefox.
1195  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1045139
1196- Disable 'liga' in vertical text.
1197- Build fixes.
1198- API changes:
1199
1200  * Make HB_BUFFER_FLAG_BOT/EOT easier to use.
1201
1202    Previously, we expected users to provide BOT/EOT flags when the
1203    text *segment* was at paragraph boundaries.  This meant that for
1204    clients that provide full paragraph to HarfBuzz (eg. Pango), they
1205    had code like this:
1206
1207      hb_buffer_set_flags (hb_buffer,
1208                           (item_offset == 0 ? HB_BUFFER_FLAG_BOT : 0) |
1209                           (item_offset + item_length == paragraph_length ?
1210                            HB_BUFFER_FLAG_EOT : 0));
1211
1212      hb_buffer_add_utf8 (hb_buffer,
1213                          paragraph_text, paragraph_length,
1214                          item_offset, item_length);
1215
1216    After this change such clients can simply say:
1217
1218      hb_buffer_set_flags (hb_buffer,
1219                           HB_BUFFER_FLAG_BOT | HB_BUFFER_FLAG_EOT);
1220
1221      hb_buffer_add_utf8 (hb_buffer,
1222                          paragraph_text, paragraph_length,
1223                          item_offset, item_length);
1224
1225    Ie, HarfBuzz itself checks whether the segment is at the beginning/end
1226    of the paragraph.  Clients that only pass item-at-a-time to HarfBuzz
1227    continue not setting any flags whatsoever.
1228
1229    Another way to put it is: if there's pre-context text in the buffer,
1230    HarfBuzz ignores the BOT flag.  If there's post-context, it ignores
1231    EOT flag.
1232
1233
1234Overview of changes leading to 0.9.33
1235Tuesday, July 22, 2014

1252- Minor adjustment to U+FFFD logic.
1253- Fix hb-coretext build.
1254
1255
1256Overview of changes leading to 0.9.31
1257Wednesday, July 16, 2014
1258=====================================
1259
1260- Only accept valid UTF-8/16/32; we missed many cases before.
1261- Better shaping of invalid UTF-8/16/32.  Falls back to
1262  U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER now.
1263- With all changes in this release, the buffer will contain fully
1264  valid Unicode after hb_buffer_add_utf8/16/32 no matter how
1265  broken the input is.  This can be overridden though.  See below.
1266- Fix Mongolian Variation Selectors for fonts without GDEF.
1267- Fix minor invalid buffer access.
1268- Accept zh-Hant and zh-Hans language tags.  hb_ot_tag_to_language()
1269  now uses these instead of private tags.
1270- Build fixes.
1271- New API:
1272  * hb_buffer_add_codepoints().  This does what hb_buffer_add_utf32()
1273    used to do, ie. no validity check on the input at all.  add_utf32
1274    now replaces invalid Unicode codepoints with the replacement
1275    character (see below).
1276  * hb_buffer_set_replacement_codepoint()
1277  * hb_buffer_get_replacement_codepoint()
1278    Previously, in hb_buffer_add_utf8 and hb_buffer_add_utf16, when
1279    we detected broken input, we replaced that with (hb_codepoint_t)-1.
1280    This has changed to use U+FFFD now, but can be changed using these
1281    new API.
1282
1283

1323  public run-time API for the functionality.
1324- Build fixes.

1422General:
1423- Misc substitute_closure() fixes.
1424- Build fixes.
1425
1426Documentation:
1427- gtk-doc boilerplate integrated.  Docs are built now, but
1428  contain no contents.  By next release hopefully we have
1429  some content in.  Enable using --enable-gtk-doc.
1430
1431GObject and Introspection:
1432- Added harfbuzz-gobject library (hb-gobject.h) that has type
1433  bindings for all HarfBuzz objects and enums.  Enable using
1434  --with-gobject.
1435- Added gobject-introspection boilerplate.  Nothing useful
1436  right now.  Work in progress.  Gets enabled automatically if
1437  --with-gobject is used.  Override with --disable-introspection.
1438
1439OpenType shaper:
1440- Apply 'mark' in Myanmar shaper.
1441- Don't apply 'dlig' by default.

1478Tuesday, May 28, 2013
1479=====================================
1480
1481New build system:
1482
1483- All unneeded code is all disabled by default,
1484
1485- Uniscribe and CoreText shapers can be enabled with their --with options,
1486
1487- icu_le and old shapers cannot be enabled for now,
1488
1489- glib, freetype, and cairo will be detected automatically.
1490  They can be force on/off'ed with their --with options,
1491
1492- icu and graphite2 are default off, can be enabled with their --with
1493  options,
1494
1495Moreover, ICU support is now build into a separate library:
1496libharfbuzz-icu.so, and a new harfbuzz-icu.pc is shipped for it.
1497Distros can enable ICU now without every application on earth
1498getting linked to via libharfbuzz.so.
1499
1500For distros I recommend that they make sure they are building --with-glib
1501--with-freetype --with-cairo, --with-icu, and optionally --with-graphite2;
1502And package harfbuzz and harfbuzz-icu separately.

1514Friday, April 19, 2013
1515=====================================
1516
1517- Major speedup in OpenType lookup processing.  With the Amiri
1518  Arabic font, this release is over 3x faster than previous
1519  release.  All scripts / languages should see this speedup.
1520
1521- New --num-iterations option for hb-shape / hb-view; useful for
1522  profiling.
1523
1524Overview of changes leading to 0.9.15
1525Friday, April 05, 2013

1554  * Fixed all known Indic bugs,
1555  * New Win8-style Myanmar shaper,
1556  * New South-East Asian shaper for Tai Tham, Cham, and New Tai Lue,
1557  * Smartly ignore Default_Ignorable characters (joiners, etc) wheb
1558    matching GSUB/GPOS lookups,
1559  * Fix 'Phags-Pa U+A872 shaping,
1560  * Fix partial disabling of default-on features,
1561  * Allow disabling of TrueType kerning.
1562- Fix possible crasher with broken fonts with overlapping tables.
1563- Removed generated files from git again.  So, one needs ragel to
1564  bootstrap from the git tree.
1565
1566API changes:
1567- hb_shape() and related APIs now abort if buffer direction is
1568  HB_DIRECTION_INVALID.  Previously, hb_shape() was calling
1569  hb_buffer_guess_segment_properties() on the buffer before
1570  shaping.  The heuristics in that function are fragile.  If the
1571  user really wants the old behvaior, they can call that function
1572  right before calling hb_shape() to get the old behavior.
1573- hb_blob_create_sub_blob() always creates sub-blob with
1574  HB_MEMORY_MODE_READONLY.  See comments for the reason.
