[unifont.git] / ChangeLog

2015-06-28 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

        * Version: 8.0.01.
        * Makefiles: updated version to 8.0.01; fonts now Copyright 2015.
        * font/Makefile:
          - No longer create BDF or PCF fonts from glyphs above Plane 0.
        * font/plane00:
        - Tibetan: Modified "nga" glyphs (U+0F44 and U+0F94) so they would not
            resemble "da" (U+0F51 and U+0FA1, respectively) as closely.
          - Made U+202F a single-width space glyph rather than nonprinting;
            its entry was moved from nonprinting.hex to spaces.hex.
          - Modified U+2FF* and moved block from wqy.hex to unifont-base.hex;
            U+2FF7 was incorrect, and others in the range weren't symmetrical.
        * font/plane00/bmp-combining.hex: 4 new combining characters from
          above scripts added and 19 combining characters from New Tai Lue
          removed.
        * font/plane00/unassigned.hex: newly assigned code points removed
          from list of unassigned code points.
        * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
          - Paul Hardy added changes to these scripts for Unicode 8.0:
            Arabic Extended-A, Gujarati, Telugu, Malayalam, Cherokee,
            New Tai Lue (all combining characters are no longer combining),
            Currency Symbols, Number Forms, Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows,
            Cyrillic Extended-B, Latin Extended-D, Devanagari Extended,
            Latin Extended-E, Cherokee Supplement (new in Unicode 8.0.0),
            and Combining Half Marks.
        * font/plane00/wqy.hex:
          - Umbreon126 drew U+9FCD..U+9FD5, new in Unicode 8.0.
          - Moved U+2FF* to unifont-base.hex following modification; see above.
        * font/plane01/noscript-ranges.txt: updated to remove scripts that are
          new in Uniocde 8.0.0.  "noscript-hex.txt" is generated from this.
        * font/plane01/plane01.hex:
          - Paul Hardy added the scripts Linear A, Palmyrene, Nabataean, Hatran,
            Meroitic Cursive, Manichaean, Old Hungarian, Mahajani, Sharada,
            Sinhala Archaic Numbers.
          - Paul Hardy added the new Unicode 8.0 glyphs in Siddham,
            Musical Symbols, Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, Emoticons,
            and Transport and Map Symbols.
          - Umbreon126 drew most of the Blackletter (Fraktur) in the
            Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block.  Currently the regular and
            bold versions of those glyphs are identical, from limitations of
            Unifont's bitmap format.
        * font/plane01/plane01-combining.txt: added code points that are new
          combining characters in Unicode 8.0.0.
        * font/plane01/plane01-nonprinting.hex: updated with new nonprinting
          code points that are new in Unicode 8.0.0.
        * font/plane01/noscript-ranges-hex.txt: removed script ranges that
          are new in Unicode 8.0.0.  "noscript-hex.txt" is generated from
          this file.
        * font/plane01/plane01-unassigned-ranges.txt: removed code points that
          are newly assigned in scripts in Unicode 8.0.0.
          "unassigned-ranges.txt" is generated from this file.
        * src/hex2bdf: improved hex string pattern match to go beyond Plane 0.
        * src/unifontpic.c:
          - Changed version string from "7.0" to "8.0".
          - Line 129: moved "(i < 9)" range check before use of i in array.

2014-10-23 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

        * Version: 7.0.06.
        * Makefiles:
          - Updated version to 7.0.06.
          - Added "GZFLAGS = -f -9 -n" to use with gzip in all cases.
          - Changed ';' to "&&" for multiple shell commands, to fail if
            a preceding step caused an error.
          - Use "install -s" instead of "install" on C binaries.
        * Makefile: regenerated .PHONY: target entries.
        * font/Makefile:
          - Added GRAPHICS declaration, settable to "png" or "bmp" depending
            on the type of Unifont font pages desired.  The default is set
            to "png".
          - Added bmp: target to create bitmapped graphics (.bmp) images of
            Unifont.
          - Create font/compiled/plane00.html along with
            font/compiled/plane01.html in "png" and "bmp" targets.
        * font/plane01/plane01.hex:
          - Added one glyph inadvertently omitted from Old Italic:
            U+01031F (Paul Hardy).
          - Improved animals in U+01F400..U+01F43F (Nils Dagsson Moskopp).
          - Added more scripts:
             U+010350..U+01037F Old Permic (Paul Hardy)
             U+01F650..U+01F67F Ornamental Dingbats (Paul Hardy)
             U+01F780..U+01F7FF Geometric Shapes Extended (Paul Hardy)
             U+01F800..U+01F8FF Supplemental Arrows-C (Paul Hardy)
          - Emoticons (Paul Hardy)
             U+01F608: made horns look more like horns
        * src/: in all Perl scripts, added "or die" for open, close, and
          print system calls.  Made some error messages more descriptive.
        * src/Makefile: Changed CFLAGS parameter "-O" to explicitly be "-O2".
        * src/unihexfill: added "set -e" at beginning of bash script.

2014-10-17 Paul Hardy <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

        * Version: 7.0.05.
        * ChangeLog: updated list of Plane 1 scripts added in 7.0.04 entry.
        * font/Makefile:
          - Put plane01.html in font/compiled/ instead of font/.
        * font/plane00.hex:
          Following Umbreon126's discovery that the ASCII letter 'k' was
          one pixel too short, Paul Hardy examined the rest of the ASCII
          alphabet and made these changes:
          - The letter 'l' was raised by one pixel to make it the same
            height as all other lower-case letters with ascenders:
            'b', 'd', 'f', 'h', 'k', and also the same height as 'i' and 'j'.
            These are all one pixel taller than the upper-case letters.
          - The horizontal stroke of the letter 't' was lowered by one
            pixel row to line up with the horizontal stroke in 'f'.
            This is one pixel shorter than the font's x-height, and
            is a compromise.
          - The following scripts were modified where appropriate to
            include the changes to the letters 'k', 'l', and 't':
               U+00A0..U+00FF Latin-1 Supplement [no changes]
               U+0100..U+017F Latin Extended-A
               U+0180..U+024F Latin Extended-B
               U+0250..U+02A0 IPA Extensions
               U+1E00..U+1EFF Latin Extended Additional
               U+2C60..U+2C7F Latin Extended-C
               U+3300..U+33FF CJK Compatibility
               U+A720..U+A7FF Latin Extended-D
               U+FB00..U+FB4F Alphabetic Presentation Forms
               U+FF00..U+FFEF Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms.
        * font/plane01.hex:
        - Paul Hardy and Nils Dagsson Moskopp completed Miscellaneous
          Symbols and Pictographs (U+01F300..U+01F5FF).
        - Nils modified several Plane 1 glyphs from what were in the
          Unifont-7.0.04 release in these scripts:
             U+01F300..U+01F5FF Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs
             U+01F600..U+01F4F Emoticons
             U+01F680..U+01F6FF and Transport and Map Symbols scripts.
        * man/Makefile: remove $(MANPAGES) from "install" target.

2014-10-11  Paul Hardy  <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

        * Version: 7.0.04.
        * Makefiles: bumped version to 7.0.04.
        * ChangeLog: added "Version" line at the start of all past entries,
          since the version number now no longer includes a date as of
          Version 7.0.01.  Fixed spelling of "Umbreon126" in 7.0.02 entry.
        * doc/: updates to include man/unipagecount.1 changes.
        * font/Makefile:
          - Incorporates all font/plane01 glyphs in generated
            font/compiled/png/plane01/*.png files, including six-digit
            hexadecimal glyphs for code points that the Unicode Consortium
            has not yet assigned to scripts.
          - Generate font/plane01/all/plane01.html, showing current coverage
            and what remains to be done in a color-coded table.
          - Modified distclean target to do a "make clean" in font/plane01.
        * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
          - Copied U+0070 (lower-case Latin "p") to U+0440 (Cyrillic
            small letter "er").  Thanks to Umbreon126 for spotting that.
          - Made the angle in symbol U+26BC (SESQUIQUADRATE) a 45 degree
            angle, since the symbol is supposed to represent 135 degrees
            (so 90 + 45 = 135).  Thanks to Artur Quaglio for noticing that.
            The depiction in the Unicode Standard code chart is inaccurate.
          - Umbreon126 improved the following glyphs:
            U+0026, U+006B, U+0111, U+0127, U+040F, U+041A, U+0444, U+0452,
            U+045B, U+045F, U+066F, U+0950, U+1E00, U+1E01, U+20AB, U+2103,
            U+2109, U+2118, U+211C, U+213C, U+213D, U+2169, U+26F6, U+2721,
            U+A4D2, U+3005, U+3006.
        * font/plane00/wqy.hex: Umbreon126 improved the following glyphs:
          U+3116, U+3464, U+35CA, U+4EAE, U+533F, U+53D7, U+5404, U+569F,
          U+56B9, U+56DE, U+5909, U+5967, U+5E38, U+6238, U+796D, U+7981,
          U+7A3F, U+7C21, U+7F60, U+840C, U+8276, U+9055, U+907A, U+9089,
          U+9EA5, U+9F20.
        * font/plane01/Makefile:
          - Changed name of generated unassigned.hex to plane01-unassigned.hex.
          - Added a line to create noscript-ranges-hex.txt from
            noscript-ranges.txt.
          - Create font/plane01/all/ directory for generating PNG files
            when font is compiled.
        * font/plane01/noscript-ranges.txt: added file that contains
          start and stop code points of all ranges in Unicode Plane 1
          where Unicode scripts have not yet been assigned.  font/Makefile
          uses this to generate filler glyphs for those unassigned script
          ranges; they are not included in the main font, but are included
          in the PNG graphics files in the font/compiled directory.
        * font/plane01/plane01-combining.txt: added all Unicode combining
          code points in the Unicode 7.0 Plane 1 range, not just ones for
          scripts that Unifont Upper contains.
        * font/plane01/plane01.hex:
          - Artur Quaglio added Elbasan and Caucasian Albanian.
          - Paul Hardy added Sora Sompeng, Chakma, Sharada, Takri, Miao,
            Arabic Mathematical Alphabetic Supplement, and Transport and
            Map Symbols.
          - Umbreon126 added Siddham and the script letters in the Mathematical
            Alphanumeric Symbols block.
          - Paul Hardy, Nils Dagsson Moskopp, and Umbreon126 added more
            to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, and Nils improved
            existing glyphs.
          - Nils Dagsson Moskopp made improvements to some Transport and
            Map Symbols.
          - Umbreon126 improved U+01F200.
        * font/plane01/plane01-nonprinting.hex: new file contains the
          non-printing Unicode Plane 01 glyphs.
        * font/plane01/unassigned-ranges.txt: fixed a typo; under the
          Khojki script, 011122 should have been 011212.
        * man/Makefile: added unifont-viewer.1 to MAN1PAGES variable.
        * man/unipagecount.1: updated to reflect src/unipagecount.c changes.
        * src/hex2sfd:
          - Modified comments to include Luis Alejandro González Miranda's
            full name.
          - Now supports combining characters for glyphs above Plane 0.
          - Properly marks fonts with glyphs above Plane 0 as "Unicode"
            instead of "UnicodeBmp".
          - Explicitly defines glyphs for ".notdef", ".null", and
            "nonmarkingreturn" rather than use the Fontforge-supplied defaults.
          - Calculate exact number of glyphs in the font for BeginChars entry.
          - Moved pixel-outlining portion to a separate subroutine, "outline".
          - Add "uni" prefix to StartChar description of code points.
        * src/unipagecount.c: modified to handle glyphs for any Unicode plane.
          Now takes a "-Pnn" parameter, where "nn" is the desired plane
          number (0 through 16, inclusive).  The default is Plane 0.
          The previous version would only take one command-line argument;
          this version can take multiple arguments.

2014-07-01  Paul Hardy  <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

        * Version: 7.0.03.
        * doc/unifont.texi: include unihexfill.texi.
        * doc/unihexfill.texi: added file.
        * doc/*.texi: updated all files to cross-reference unihexfill(1).
        * font/Makefile: removed spurious "DF" element in "for"
          loop to create "compiled/png/csur/" glyphs.
        * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex: changed "y" glyph (U+0079)
          back to previous version.  Added modification to the
          German double s glyph (U+00DF) submitted by Joshua Krämer.
        * font/plane01/Makefile: corrected a comment line.
        * man/unihexfill.1: created missing man page.  Without that,
          this version did not conform to Debian Policy.  The
          omission drove this release.
        * man/*.[15]: updated all man pages to cross-reference unihexfill(1).

2014-06-29  Paul Hardy  <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

        * Version: 7.0.02.
        * ChangeLog:
          - File now begins with UTF-8 encoded Byte Order Mark (U+FEFF),
            which is 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF.  This will alert some less than
            well behaved text applications to expect non-ASCII UTF-8
            characters in this file.
          - Corrected date in previous ChangeLog entry.
        * font/Makefile: removed an extra "done" in a "for" loop.
        * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
          - Joshua Krämer redrew U+0079 ('y') and U+00B5 (mu).
          - Paul Hardy redrew U+00DF (German double s), and Gujarati
            characters U+0ACB and U+0ACC.
          - Umbreon126 redrew symbols U+2672, U+267B, U+267C, U+267D, U+269B,
            and U+269C.
          - Umbreon126 and Paul Hardy redrew U+262F (yin-yang).
        * font/plane01/plane01.hex:
          - Paul Hardy added [in order of appearance in Uniocde Plane 1 /
            the SMP]: Meroitic Hieroglyphs, Meroitic Cursive, Avestan,
            Inscriptional Parthian, Inscriptional Pahlavi, Psalter Pahlavi,
            Old Turkic, Rumi Numeral Symbols, Brahmi, Kaithi, Kana Supplement,
            Shorthand Format Controls, Emoticons, and Alchemical Symbols.
            He also redrew U+01F195 ("NEW").
          - Nils Dagsson Moskopp drew more glyphs in the Miscellaneous
            Symbols and Pictographs block.
          - Umbreon126 contributed the Pahawh Hmong glyphs.  He contributed
            new Mah Jong glyphs: U+01F010, U+01F022 through U+01F02A.  He
            also redrew U+01F16A ("MC") and U+01F198 ("SOS").

2014-06-21  Paul Hardy  <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

        * Version: 7.0.01.
        * Changed version numbering from a date at the end to a two-digit
          release number for a given Unicode version, where a Unicode version
          consists of a major number and a minor number.  So this version is
          Unifont 7.0.01, because it is the first revision to implement the
          Unifont 7.0 glyphs.  Richard Stallman made this request.
        * INSTALL: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to the new
          directory name.
        * README:
          - Changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to the new directory name.
          - Added mention of Andrew Miller writing unifont-viewer.
        * doc/: incorporated unifont-viewer.texi into unifont.texi.
        * doc/Makefile: corrected comments for building texinfo output files,
          and simplified docprep target.
        * doc/unifont-viewer.texi: added file.
        * doc/unifont.texi:
          - Corrected naming of section "Using Graphical Tools"; it was
            incorrectly named "Hex File Format", which is the name of the
            preceding section.
          - Added new section on "Dynamically Viewing a Unifont File" to
            describe using the unifont-viewer Perl utility.
          - Added unifont-viewer man page sub-section to Reference section.
        * doc/unifontpic.texi: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to
          the new directory name.
        * doc/unigencircles.texi: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to
          the new directory name.
        * font/Makefile:
          - Added font/plane0[1-F]csur/*.hex in hex: target to sort input
            for building fonts containing CSUR glyphs above Plane 0.
          - Added all combining character code points in uppercsurttf target.
          - Added creation of unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).hex.  This
            involved the creation of combining and nonprinting files in
            "font/compiled/" directory.  Also added creation of
            unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).bdf and
            the SBIT font unifont_upper_sample-$(VERSION).ttf.
          - Added generation of Supplemental Multilingual Plane glyphs
            to "font/compiled/bmp/" directory.
          - Renamed "font/compiled/bmp/uni??.bmp" to
            "font/compiled/bmp/uni00??.bmp" to appear before SMP bitmap files.
          - compiled/bmp no longer created; replaced with compiled/png.
          - compiled/png now contains sample glyphs in Portable Network
            Graphics format (with combining circles where appropriate),
            in subdirectories "plane00", "plane01", "plane0E", and "csur".
          - clean target now also removes "$(COMPILED_DIR)/*.sfd.gz".
        * font/index.html: added table for Supplemental Multilingual Plane.
        * font/plane00: Added the 327 new glyphs introduced to Plane 0 in
          Unicode 7.0.  This involved adding glyphs to unifont-base.hex,
          adding combining code points to bmp-combining.txt, and removing
          newly-defined glyphs from unassigned.hex.
        * font/plane00/README: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00" to refer to
          the new directory name.
        * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex:
          - Redrew U+0D00 and U+2702.
          - Redrew Halfwidth Katakana Variants, U+FF65 through U+FF9F, because
            the original glyphs were too tall compared to the rest of Unifont.
          - Using new versions of U+2619 (the "Aldus leaf"), U+2622,
            and U+26DF that Nils Moskopp submitted.
        * font/plane00csur/csur.hex: removed U+EFFF as a Copyleft symbol, as
          it is not part of the ConScript Unicode Registry.
        * font/plane01/Makefile: created Makefile to generate "unassigned.hex"
          from "unassigned-ranges.txt".
        * font/plane01/plane01.hex:
          - Paul Hardy added these scripts: Phaistos Disc, Coptic Epact
            Numbers, Imperial Aramaic, Lydian, Old South Arabian, Old North
            Arabian, and Enclosed Ideographic Supplement (modeled after glyphs
            in Wen Quan Yi).  Also added new glyphs to complete Phoenician.
            Also added glyphs to complete the 7.0 additions for Ancient Greek
            Numbers, Ancient Symbols, and Old Italic.
          - Andrew Miller added new glyphs for Playing Cards and Enclosed
            Alphanumeric Supplement.  Also drew more glyphs for Mathematical
            Alphanumeric Supplement.
          - Nils Moskopp drew the new Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs.
        * font/plane01/unassigned-ranges.txt: completed all unassigned ranges
          for scripts that the Unicode Consortium has assigned.
        * font/plane01/plane01-nonprinting.hex: created file.
        * man/:
          - Added references to unifont-viewer in all other man pages.
          - Removed an extraneous ".PP" that appeared in some man pages before
            a new section header.
        * man/unifont.5: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00".
        * man/unifont-viewer.1: created file.
        * man/unifontpic.1: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00".
        * man/unigencircles.1: changed "hexsrc" to "plane00".
        * src/unifont-viewer: added new program to view Unifont hex files.
        * src/unifontpic.c: changed "6.3" version number to "7.0".
        * src/unigencircles.c: extended to cover the entire Unicode range.
        * src/unihexfill: new program to pad a script with glyphs that are
          four or six digits.  Among other uses, this will allow Debian
          GNU/Linux's font review script to report Unicode script completion
          percentage accurately for Unifont.

2014-02-14  Paul Hardy  <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

        * Version: 6.3.20140214.
        * COPYING: added GNU Free Documentation License 1.3, which covers
          the files "doc/unifont.*".
        * ChangeLog: fixed a typo in 2014-02-04 entry.

2014-02-04  Paul Hardy  <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

        * Version: 6.3.20140204.
        * Makefiles:
          - Updated date for new release.
          - Added Qianqian Fang's name to COPYRIGHT strings, for his glyph
            contributions in "font/plane00/wqy.hex".
        * hangul/hangul-generation.html: removed references to three footer
          "<img>" links that pointed to external websites.  Those external
          icons were saved locally when the original web page
          http://unifoundry.com/hangul/hangul-generation.html was saved in
          the "hangul/" directory.  That web page is the most comprehensive
          documentation of the effort to create the Hangul Syllables block
          from scratch.
        * hangul/hangul-generation_files: removed three external icon files
          ("valid-html401.png", "vccs.gif", and "w3c_ab.gif") that were saved
          locally when http://unifoundry.com/hangul/hangul-generation.html
          was saved.
        * src/unibmp2hex.c: increased size of "wide" array to be 0x200000,
          to cover the entire range of Unicode.

2014-02-02  Paul Hardy  <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

        * Version: 6.3.20140202.
        * Makefiles: updated date for new release.
        * NEWS: updated for new release.
        * README: updated for new release, notably mentioning that
          "font/hexsrc" has been renamed to "font/plane00".
        * doc/: regenerated unifont.txt, unifont.info, and unifont.pdf files
          after addition of doc/hexkinya.texi.
        * doc/Makefile (docprep): added new target to remove the files
          created by "make doc", in preparation for running "make doc" again.
        * doc/hexkinya.texi: added Texinfo file for hexkinya Perl script.
        * doc/unifont.texi: updated file to reflect "font/hexsrc" being
          renamed to "font/plane00" and made other changes to reflect
          support beyond the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane.
        * font/Makefile:
          - Added Andrew Miller's name to COPYRIGHT string.
          - Add unifont_upper font files for Plane 1 through Plane 14 glyphs.
          - Add unifont_upper_csur font files for Plane 1 through Plane 15
            glyphs (currently there are no glyphs for Plane 16, the highest
            plane that the  Unicode Standard allows).
          - Create Unifont-APL8x16.psf.gz console font file, to support
            running GNU APL and other APL implementations in console mode.
            This font is a 512 glyph subset of Unifont.
        * font/Makefile (bigpic): construct giant glyph picture using
          font/plane00/*.hex rather than font/compiled/unifont_sample*.hex,
          because the latter doesn't contain glyphs for U+FFFE or U+FFFF
          (removed to appease MS Windows).
        * font/Makefile (hex): added egrep -v "^FFF[EF]" to make sure
          U+FFFE and U+FFFF are removed from font, for Windows XP.
        * font/plane00: new name of previous "font/hexsrc" directory, now
          that this package contains multiple Unicode planes.
        * font/plane00/README: updated to mention new "omit.hex" file.
        * font/plane00/bmp-combining.txt: formerly "font/ttfsrc/combining.txt".
        * font/plane00/nonprinting.hex: removed U+FFFE and U+FFFF to
          appease MS Windows XP (see font/plane00/omit.hex entry below).
        * font/plane00/omit.hex: consists of U+FFFE and U+FFFF, for the
          sake of MS Windows XP.
        * font/plane00/unifont-base.hex: Further tweaks to APL glyphs.
        * font/plane00csur:
          - Created ConScript Unicode Registry directory, for glyphs in Michael
            Everson's PUA mapping ("http://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/").
          - Added contributions of Wojciech Stryjewski: Tengwar and Klingon.
          - Added contributions of Andrew Miller: Kinya (partial), aUI,
            Gargoyle, Ewellic, Unifon, Solresol, Visible Speech, and Monofon.
          - Added contributions of Paul Hardy: Cirth and Aiha.
        * font/plane01: created directory for Unicode Plane 1 glyphs.
          - Added glyphs contributed by Roman Czyborra and Andrew Miller:
            Old Italic.
          - Added glyphs contributed by Andrew Miller: Ancient Symbols,
            Lycian, Carian, Ugaritic, Old Persian, Musical Symbols,
            Tai Xuan Jing Symbols, Counting Rod Numerals, Mathematical
            Alphanumeric Symbols (partial), Mahjong Tiles, Domino Tiles,
            Playing Cards, Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement, and Miscellaneous
            Symbols and Pictographs (partial).
          - Added glyphs contributed by Paul Hardy: Linear B Syllabary,
            Linear B Ideograms, Aegean Numbers, Ancient Greek Numbers,
            Gothic, Deseret, Shavian, Osmanya, Cypriot Syllabary, Phoenician,
            Kharoshthi, Byzantine Musical Symbols, and Ancient Greek Musical
            Notation.
        * font/plane0E: added scripts contributed by Andrew Miller: Tags and
          Variation Selectors Supplement.
        * font/plane0Fcsur: added glyphs from Michael Everson's ConScript
          Unicode Registry (CSUR) contriubted by Andrew Miller: Kinya Syllables.
        * font/psf: added directory with files to build new PSF font version,
          to allow APL use under GNU/Linux in console mode.
        * font/ttfsrc: simplified directory to only contain a Makefile;
          other files were moved to "font/plane00/" as a precursor to allow
          parallel building of multiple fonts.
        * font/ttfsrc/Makefile:
          - Updated VERSION date.
          - Added Andrew Miller's name to COPYRIGHT string.
        * hangul/README: changed mention of "font/hexsrc" to new location
          of "font/plane00".
        * man/hexkinya.1: added man page for Andrew Miller's hexkinya Perl
          script, also cross-referenced in all other man pages.
        * src/hexkinya: new script by Andrew Miller to generate Kinya Private
          Use Area glyphs in Plane 15, saved under "font/plane0Fcsur/".
        * src/unibmp2hex.c: added forced double width for appropriate
          Plane 1 (Supplemental Multilingual Plane) scripts now that
          this package extends beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane.
        * src/unipagecount.c: corrected license from GPL3+ to GPL2+.

2013-12-21  Paul Hardy  <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

        * Version: 6.3.20131221.
        * ChangeLog: corrected date on last entry from 12-27 to 12-17.
        * Makefiles: updated date for new release.
        * font/hexsrc/unifont-base.hex: Modified glyphs to appear better
          in APL: U+22F8, U+233B, U+233E, U+235B, and U+2364.
        * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: commented out SetFontNames function calls
          in fontforge.  Not all applications were interpreting that data
          correctly.  For example, in LibreOffice, it listed the font as
          the foundry name ("GNU") rather than the foundry name plus the
          font name ("GNU Unifont") or just the font name.  That is a bug
          in LibreOffice, so if such things are fixed in the future then
          these calls can be re-introduced.
        * src/hex2bdf:
          - Rearranged some properties (cosmetic change).
          - Changed default font name from "unifont" to "Unifont".
        * src/unigencircles.c: changed subscript from MAXSTRING to
          MAXSTRING-1 at line 61.

2013-12-17  Paul Hardy  <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

        * Version: 6.3.20131217.
        * doc/Makefile: removed redirection of texi2pdf output.
        * doc/unifont.pdf: rebuilt file.
        * font/Makefile:
          - Don't modify PCF fonts with FontForge, which alters them
            so grub-mkfont can't read them.
          - In font/compiled, insert $(VERSION) into unifont.sfd name.
        * font/ttfsrc/Makefile (clean): remove *.bdf, so unifont_sample.bdf
          is removed.
        * README: removed date stamp at top of file.

2013-12-15  Paul Hardy  <unifoundry@unifoundry.com>

        * Version: 6.3.20131215.
        * src/unihex2png: new program to convert unifont.hex to PNG image.
        * src/unipng2hex: new program to convert PNG image to unifont.hex.
        * src/hex2bdf:
          - Added new XLFD properties for font generation for FreeType and
            grub-mkfont support; includes version & copyright info.
          - Fields now begin with upper-case, including "unifont"-->"Unifont".
          - Changed POINT_SIZE property from 160 to 120.
          - Added "Sans" style name to FONT string plus XLFD property.
          - Added command line options for font name, version, & glyph height.
          - Allow generation of fonts with other than 16 pixel rows/glyph, to
            support new capabilities of unihex2png, unipng2hex, and hexdraw.
        * src/unidup.c: now takes an optional file name on the command line.
        * src/*.c: reformatted to follow GNU Coding Standards.
        * man/*: Updated man pages to reflect new options, new programs,
          and to reflect the GPLv2+ license now common to all programs.
        * doc/: new directory with Texinfo files.
        * ChangeLog: created new file.
        * COPYING: created new file.
        * INSTALL: file created using BUILDING section from old README file.
        * LICENSE: removed; its contents are in README and COPYING now.
        * NEWS: created new file.
        * Makefiles: added "SHELL = /bin/sh" if not already declared.
        * Makefiles (distclean): added removal of "*~" if not already declared.
        * Makefile: compress text files with "gzip -f -9" during installation.
        * font/Makefile: fontforge scripting updated; now adds font copyright,
          license, version and other info to PCF files.
        * font/hexsrc/unifont-base.hex:
          - Redrew several Armenian letters (U+0530..U+058F).
          - Redrew Capricorn symbol (U+2651).
          - Redrew CJK Radical Supplement glyphs: U+2E9F, U+2EA9, U+2EAC,
            U+2EAE, U+2EC0, U+2EDE, U+2EE7, and U+2EED.
        * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: fontforge scripting command changed from
          "Simplify(-1,1)" to "Simplify(64,1)" to "merge lines which are
          nearly parallel into one".  This decreases the TrueType file size
          by almost 2 Megabytes, by reducing the number of control points
          for a glyph.  Also add font copyright, license, version, and
          other info to TTF files.
        * font/ttfsrc/Makefile: now builds SBIT font unifont_sample.ttf.
        * unifontall-*: renamed to "unifont_sample-*".
        * *.bdf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with hex2bdf.
        * *.pcf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with fontforge.
        * *.ttf: Added font version, copyright, etc. with fontforge.
        * font/*/unifont-*.bmp: Create chart of entire Unifont using pre-built
          unifont_sample.hex rather than assembling *.hex just for this image.
        * hangul/hangul-generation.html: updated to correct a typo, where
          rieul was mentioned as an initial consonant instead of a final
          consonant in an explanation of vertical spacing constraints.
        * hangul/Makefile:
          - Updated hex2bdf parameters to name generated BDF font
            "Unifont Johab" rather than "unifont" and add copyright.
          - Used a sed script to change BDF encoding from ISO10646 to "Johab".
          - Call bdftopcf to create hangul-base.pcf, then compress with gzip.
          - Add "precompiled:" target to create basic Johab font files.
