-2022.8.0:
-
-- Improved library performance,
-- Breaking change: changed default font from Calibri to an open-source Lato,
-- Default font files are included with the nuget package, making it safe to deploy on any environment,
-- Default font files are significantly smaller, so output document files should be smaller too (up to 20x reduction in size),
-- When requested font is not available on the runtime environment, library provides list of available fonts,
-- Fixed a rare layout overflow exception with the Inlined element,
-- Fixed a memory leak connected to the HarfBuzz library.
-
-
-2022.8.1:
-- Fixed: default text style does not always work
-- Fixed: page breaking rendering does not work in very specific corner cases
-- Stability improvements for text wrapping
-- Updated stability of rendering elements in negative space
-- Optimization for the Column element: do not measure child when available height is negative
-
-2202.8.2
-- Fixed: the Column element incorrectly renders zero-height elements.
+2022.9.0
+- Implemented font-fallback algorithm,
+- Introduced new Settings API,
+- Significantly reduced memory allocation cost for TextStyle objects,
+- Implemented optional checking if all font glyphs are available,
+- Minor text-rendering optimizations.
