Overview of changes leading to 3.3.0
Monday, January 31, 2022

  • Improved documentation. (Matthias Clasen)

  • Internal code cleanup, using C++ standard library more. (Behdad Esfahbod)

  • The low 16-bits of face index will be used by hb_face_create() to select a
    face inside a font collection file format, while the high 16-bits will be
    used by hb_font_create() to load the named instance. (Behdad Esfahbod)

  • Glyph positions and other font metrics now apply synthetic slant set by
    hb_font_set_synthetic_slant(), for improved positioning for synthetically
    slanted fonts. (Behdad Esfahbod)

  • Fixed unintentional locale dependency in hb_variation_to_string() for decimal
    point representation. (Matthias Clasen)

  • When applying pair positioning (kerning) the positioning value is split
    between the two sides of the pair for improved cursor positioning between
    such pairs. (Behdad Esfahbod)

  • Introduced new HB_GLYPH_FLAG_UNSAFE_TO_CONCAT, to be used in conjunction
    with HB_GLYPH_FLAG_UNSAFE_TO_BREAK for optimizing re-shaping during line
    breaking. Check the documentation for further details. (Behdad Esfahbod)

  • Improved handling of macrolanguages when mapping BCP 47 codes to OpenType
    tags. (David Corbett)

  • New API:
    +HB_GLYPH_FLAG_UNSAFE_TO_CONCAT
    +hb_segment_properties_overlay()
    +hb_buffer_create_similar()
    +hb_font_set_synthetic_slant()
    +hb_font_get_synthetic_slant()
    +hb_font_get_var_coords_design()
