Announcement text:

The options 'first-row', 'last-row', 'first-col' and 'last-col' are now
available in the environment 'NiceMatrix' (and its variants) and not only
in the environment 'NiceArray' (and its variants).
The option 'columns-width=auto' now does the job with only one
compilation.
This version is compatible with the latest version of expl3 (released
2019-09-30). The previous version of 'nicematrix' was not (for a reason
unclear).

- (Experimental) issue warning if a file in the package tree (W0005) or in the TDS zip archive (W0006) is

- (Experimental) for babel-base.tds.zip use the real package name 'babel' (instead of 'babel-base') in order
to check if the path name contains the package name
Both features are regarded as experimental because both contain a hard coded check. If required
things will be changed in the future.

Announcement text:

Release Notes for Version 2.55
An initialization bug in the OpenGL renderer and portability issues were
fixed.
Release Notes for Version 2.54
Support for generating and embedding interactive 3D WebGL vector graphics
within an HTML file has been added, allowing Asymptote figures to be
displayed on modern mobile and desktop browsers. The OpenGL rendering
routines were further optimized, yielding higher frame rates and lower
memory usage. The view position for perspective projection was fixed. The
default value of file word() was fixed. Installation issues were
addressed. A new digits setting controls the default output file
precision. A hanging pipe was fixed. The popcount function was extended to
systems that lack 64-bit integers. The order of PRC quad colours was
fixed. If lighting is enabled, vertex colors are now ignored in PRC
images; when drawing a surface s, use draw(s,prc() ? nolight :
currentlight); to disable lighting manually and recover the old behaviour.

Summary description: A classical Arabic typeface, Naskh style
Announcement text:
Amiri 0.111 (2017-12-30)
------------------------
* Drop TTF files from the web fonts archive, WOFF and WOFF2 should be all one
needs now.
* Cosmetic changes to the CSS snippet.
* Fix kerning of the new Kaf glyphs introduced in the previous release.
* Add a font table document for the Quran font since it has different character
coverage.
* Removed the `ccmp` feature composing decomposed Latin base/accent
combinations supported by the font. HarfBuzz does this in a bit smarter way,
users of other engines can apply Unicode normalization to the input text if
this is needed.
* Fix wrong glyph class for U+0674 ARABIC LETTER HIGH HAMZA, causing it to be
incorrectly treated as a zero width mark (#138).
* Drop localized Arabic names from the font (like style names), their support
in application is spotty, also it is a bit Ugly to have the font presented
with mixed language name, e.g. “Amiri عادي”, in some applications under
Arabic locales.
* Allow Kashida around floating Hamza (#137).
* Colorize Hamza above mark in colored Quran font (#136).
* Change the shape of Damma used in U+06C7 & U+0677 (#123).
* Other smaller fixes.
* OpenType layout tables are now compiled with FontTool’s feaLib instead of my
FontForge fork. This is an attempt to make building the fonts from source
simpler for others and more predictable.
* The font can now be built with Python 3, by calling `make PY2=python3`.
* The font can be also built with upstream FontForge now, though the result
might be slightly different from the pre-built fonts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Amiri 0.112 (2019-09-29)
------------------------
* Fix dot below (U+065C) and make it rounded not rectangular.
* Add an Amiri.fontspec file for use with LaTeX fontspec package (#139).
* Make the build reproducible.
* Fix some misplaced Latin accents.
* Add alternate comma and semicolon for Sindhi and Malay, and can be enabled
with “ss08” feature as well (#145).
* Fix Rohingya tones positioning a bit (#155).
* Don’t make rounded guillemots the default as they are meant to be only for
Arabic.
* Make narrow no break space as wide as thin space (#177).
* Fix handling of several Quranic small letters to follow latest Unicode
recommendations.
