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