+2015-06-28: Release 8.0.01
+
+ Updates to support Unicode 8.0.0.
+
+2014-10-23: Release 7.0.06
+
+ A few new scripts were added:
+ U+010350..U+01037F Old Permic
+ U+01F650..U+01F67F Ornamental Dingbats
+ U+01F780..U+01F7FF Geometrical Shapes Extended
+ U+01F800..U+01F8FF Supplemental Arrows-C
+
+ Various changes were made to Makefiles, Perl scripts, and one bash
+ shell script to conform to Debian Policy Manual version 3.9.6.
+
+ Several changes were made to Makefiles:
+ * Use "set -e" at the start of multi-command shell invocations,
+ to trap errors.
+ * Use "&&" rather than ";" in multi-command shell invocations,
+ to fail on errors.
+ * install now uses "-s" flag for C program binaries.
+
+ Other minor changes were made to scripts; see ChangeLog
+ for details.
+
+2014-10-17: Release 7.0.05
+
+ Modified ASCII letter 'l' so it would have the same height as
+ the other lower-case letters with ascenders; this is one pixel
+ taller than the capital letters. Lowered the horizontal stroke
+ in 't' by one pixel so it would line up with the horizontal
+ stroke in 'f'; this is one pixel lower than the x-height of
+ the ASCII letters. Letters elsewhere in Plane 0 that were formed
+ with 'k', 'l', or 't' were checked and modified where appropriate
+ to conform with the new ASCII glyphs.
+
+ Completed the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs script in Plane 1,
+ and modified Plane 1 Emoticons and Transport and Map Symbols scripts.
+
+ Now create file font/compiled/plane01.html, showing a color-coded
+ indication of completion of all of Unicode Plane 1 as an HTML
+ table in a self-contained HTML file. That and the compiled/index.html
+ are the two HTML files that building the font creates. The plane01.html
+ file gives a color coding to show completion of each 256-glyph block,
+ from 0% (pure red) to 100% (pure green).
+
+2014-10-11: Release 7.0.04
+
+ Added five more Supplemental Multilingual Plane (Plane 1) scripts
+ and improved others thanks to several contributors. There are now
+ over 5,000 drawn assigned glyphs for Plane 1!
+
+ Reorganized font/plane01 directory. Several other changes; see
+ ChangeLog file for details.
+
+ unihex2sfd and unipagecount now handle all Unicode planes, not just
+ Plane 0.
+
+
+2014-07-01: Release 7.0.03
+
+ Minor release for Debian. Added a man page for unihexfill(1);
+ Debian requires a man page for each program.
+
+2014-06-22: Release 7.0.02
+
+ Fixes a bug in font/Makefile: there were two "done" statements at the
+ end of one "for" loop. Also adds many new Supplemental Multilingual
+ Plane (Plane 1) scripts. See the ChangeLog file for details.
+
+2014-06-21: Release 7.0.01
+
+ Provides a glyph for every visible code point in the Unicode 7.0 Basic
+ Mulitlingual Plane. Also adds more scripts in the Unicode 7.0
+ Supplemental Multilingual Plane. See the ChangeLog file for full
+ details.
+
+ Note that the versioning scheme has changed. Instead of a date, this
+ package will use an incrementing minor version number in the future
+ ("01", "02", etc.).
+
+2014-02-14: Release 6.3.20140214
+
+ This version adds the GNU Free Documentation License 1.3 to the "COPYING"
+ file.
+
+2014-02-04: Release 6.3.20140204
+
+ This version added Qianqian Fang's name to the COPYRIGHT string now
+ passed to Fontforge when the TTF fonts are built, for his contributions
+ contained in the file "font/plane00/wqy.hex".
+
+ This version also removes "<img>" links to icons on external websites from
+ the "hangul/hangul-generation.html" web page, which were retrieved and
+ stored locally when the original web page was saved in the "hangul/"
+ directory.
+
+2014-02-02: Release 6.3.20140202
+
+ This version is the first designed to easily build multiple fonts.
+ To accomplish this, font/Makefile and font/ttfsrc/Makefile were
+ modified to pass FONT and COMBINING parameters, giving the names
+ of the font file and its associated combining.txt file.
+
+ This version introduces a subset of Unicode's Supplemental Multilingual
+ Plane (SMP, or Plane 1). The file "font/plane01/plane01.hex" contains
+ a glyph for every visible code point in the Unicode 5.0 SMP except
+ "Cuneiform" and "Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation"; those two scripts
+ require more resolution than what will fit within a 16 by 16 pixel grid.
+ Andrew Miller drew well over 1,000 glyphs for this effort, and added
+ glyphs for several SMP scripts introduced after Unicode 5.0.
+
+ This version also introduces a subset of the ConScript Unicode
+ Registry (CSUR) Private Use Area glyphs. Wojciech Stryjewski created
+ glyphs for Tengwar and Klingon -- Tolkien fans and Trekkies rejoice!
+ Paul Hardy drew Cirth to finish the Tolkien set, and drew other scripts.
+ Andrew Miller made very extensive additions for the CSUR; see the
+ ChangeLog for details.
+
+ Finally, this version includes a special PSF font for using APL
+ in console mode on GNU/Linux. This PSF font contains 512 glyphs
+ as a subset of Unifont; it will not work on systems that only
+ support PSF fonts with 256 glyphs. This PSF font will support
+ GNU APL and several other APL implementations.
+
+ The names of the font files are as follows:
+
+ unifont-* Font with Unifont Plane 0 glyphs
+
+ unifont_sample-* Font with Unifont glyphs, with combining
+ circles added for illustration
+
+ unifont_csur-* Font with glyphs from Unifont plus the
+ CSUR PUA glyphs
+
+ unifont_upper-* Font with glyphs from Planes 1 through 14
+
+ unifont_upper_csur-* Font with glyphs from Planes 1 through 15
+
+ Unifont-APL8x16.psf.gz The APL console font
+
+Glyphs for code points U+FFFE and U+FFFF, previously added for illustration
+purposes in unifont_sample, were removed because they caused problems on
+Microsoft Windows XP. These glyphs are still included in the large bitmap
+graphic of Unifont but are no longer in the font itself.
+
+Many other small changes were made as noted in the ChangeLog file, but
+support for glyphs beyond Unicode's Basic Multilingual Plane is the most
+notable change.
+
+2013-12-21: Release 6.3.2013121
+
+ The default font name that hex2bdf creates has changed from
+ lower-case "unifont" to "Unifont".
+
+ FontForge's SetFontNames function calls were removed because
+ not all applications correctly interpreted their settings.
+ For example, LibreOffice only listed Unifont by the foundry
+ name ("GNU") rather than foundry + font name ("GNU Unifont")
+ or just the font name. Those calls are only commented out
+ so they could easily be re-introduced.
+
+ Some glyphs were changed for better appearance with APL.
+
2013-12-17: Release 6.3.20131217
This fixes three bugs:
