+Overview of changes leading to 4.4.0
+Monday, June 27, 2022
+====================================
+- Caching of variable fonts shaping, in particular when using HarfBuzz’s own
+ font loading functions (ot). Bringing performance of variable shaping in par
+ with non-variable fonts shaping. (Behdad Esfahbod)
+- Caching of format 2 “Contextual Substitution” and “Chained Contexts
+ Substitution” lookups. Resulting in up to 20% speedup of lookup-heavy fonts
+ like Gulzar or Noto Nastaliq Urdu. (Behdad Esfahbod)
+- Improved ANSI output from hb-view. (Behdad Esfahbod)
+- Support for shaping legacy, pre-OpenType Windows 3.1-era, Arabic fonts that
+ relied on a fixed PUA encoding. (Khaled Hosny, Behdad Esfahbod)
+- Sinhala script is now shaped by the USE shaper instead of “indic” one.
+ (Behdad Esfahbod, David Corbett)
+- Thai shaper improvements. (David Corbett)
+- hb-ot-name API supports approximate BCP-47 language matching, for example
+ asking for “en_US” in a font that has only “en” names will return them.
+ (Behdad Esfahbod)
+- Optimized TrueType glyph shape loading. (Behdad Esfahbod)
+- Fix subsetting of HarfBuzz faces created via hb_face_create_for_tables().
+ (Garret Rieger)
+- Add 32 bit var store support to the subsetter. (Garret Rieger)
+
+- New API
++HB_BUFFER_FLAG_DEFINED
++HB_BUFFER_SERIALIZE_FLAG_DEFINED
