HarfBuzz is an <ulink url="http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/">OpenType</ulink>
text shaping engine. Using the HarfBuzz library allows
programs to convert a sequence of Unicode input into
properly formatted and positioned glyph output&mdash;for any writing
system and language.

<note>
<para>
The current HarfBuzz codebase is versioned 2.x.x and is stable
and under active maintenance. This is what is used in latest
versions of Firefox, GNOME, ChromeOS, Chrome, LibreOffice,
XeTeX, Android, and KDE, among other places.
</para>
<para>
Prior to 2012, the original HarfBuzz codebase (which, these
days, is referred to as <emphasis>harfbuzz-old</emphasis>) was
derived from code in <ulink
url="http://freetype.org/">FreeType</ulink>, <ulink
url="http://pango.org/">Pango</ulink>, and
<ulink url="http://qt-project.org/">Qt</ulink>.
It is <emphasis>not</emphasis> actively developed or
maintained, and is extremely buggy. All users of harfbuzz-old
are encouraged to switch over to the new HarfBuzz as soon as possible.
</para>
<para>
To make this distinction clearer in discussions, the current
HarfBuzz codebase is sometimes referred to as
<emphasis>harfbuzz-ng</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
For reference purposes, the harfbuzz-old source tree is archived
<ulink
url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/harfbuzz.old/">here</ulink>. There
are no release tarballs of harfbuzz-old whatsoever.
