98- Build fixes.
99
100Documentation:
101- gtk-doc boilerplate integrated.  Docs are built now, but
102  contain no contents.  By next release hopefully we have
103  some content in.  Enable using --enable-gtk-doc.
104
105GObject and Introspection:
106- Added harfbuzz-gobject library (hb-gobject.h) that has type
107  bindings for all HarfBuzz objects and enums.  Enable using
108  --with-gobject.
109- Added gobject-introspection boilerplate.  Nothing useful
110  right now.  Work in progress.  Gets enabled automatically if

152Tuesday, May 28, 2013
153=====================================
154
155New build system:
156
157- All unneeded code is all disabled by default,
158
159- Uniscribe and CoreText shapers can be enabled with their --with options,
160
161- icu_le and old shapers cannot be enabled for now,
162
163- glib, freetype, and cairo will be detected automatically.
164  They can be force on/off'ed with their --with options,
165
166- icu and graphite2 are default off, can be enabled with their --with
167  options,
168
169Moreover, ICU support is now build into a separate library:
170libharfbuzz-icu.so, and a new harfbuzz-icu.pc is shipped for it.
171Distros can enable ICU now without every application on earth
172getting linked to via libharfbuzz.so.
173
174For distros I recommend that they make sure they are building --with-glib
175--with-freetype --with-cairo, --with-icu, and optionally --with-graphite2;
176And package harfbuzz and harfbuzz-icu separately.
177
178

192  Arabic font, this release is over 3x faster than previous
193  release.  All scripts / languages should see this speedup.
194
195- New --num-iterations option for hb-shape / hb-view; useful for
196  profiling.
197
198Overview of changes leading to 0.9.15

221
222Overview of changes leading to 0.9.13
223Thursday, February 25, 2013

230  * New South-East Asian shaper for Tai Tham, Cham, and New Tai Lue,
231  * Smartly ignore Default_Ignorable characters (joiners, etc) wheb
232    matching GSUB/GPOS lookups,
233  * Fix 'Phags-Pa U+A872 shaping,
234  * Fix partial disabling of default-on features,
235  * Allow disabling of TrueType kerning.
236- Fix possible crasher with broken fonts with overlapping tables.
237- Removed generated files from git again.  So, one needs ragel to
238  bootstrap from the git tree.
239
240API changes:
241- hb_shape() and related APIs now abort if buffer direction is
242  HB_DIRECTION_INVALID.  Previously, hb_shape() was calling
243  hb_buffer_guess_segment_properties() on the buffer before
244  shaping.  The heuristics in that function are fragile.  If the
245  user really wants the old behvaior, they can call that function
246  right before calling hb_shape() to get the old behavior.
247- hb_blob_create_sub_blob() always creates sub-blob with
248  HB_MEMORY_MODE_READONLY.  See comments for the reason.
