+Overview of changes leading to 1.8.8
+Tuesday, August 14, 2018
+====================================
+- Fix hb-icu crash on architectures where compare_exchange_weak() can
+ fail falsely. This bug was introduced in 1.8.4.
+ https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=873568
+- More internal refactoring of atomic operations and singletons.
+- API changes:
+ The following functions do NOT reference their return value before
+ returning:
+ * hb_unicode_funcs_get_default()
+ * hb_glib_get_unicode_funcs()
+ * hb_icu_get_unicode_funcs()
+ This is consistent with their naming ("get", instead of "reference")
+ as well as how they are used in the wild (ie. no one calls destroy()
+ on their return value.)
