Before, if one called hb_shape() without setting script, language, and
direction on the buffer, hb_shape() was calling
hb_buffer_guess_segment_properties() on the user's behalf to guess
these.
This is very dangerous, since any serious user of HarfBuzz must set
these properly (specially important is direction). So now, we don't
guess properties by default. People not setting direction will get
an abort() now. If the old behavior is desired (fragile, good for
simple testing only), users can call
hb_buffer_guess_segment_properties() on the buffer just before calling
hb_shape().
If you say:
hb-shape font.ttf text --output-file out.txt
This was previously failing:
Unknown output format `txt'; supported formats are: TEXT / JSON
Now we simply fallback to TEXT if no explicit format was requested.
This reorders glyphs within the cluster to a nominal order. This should
have no visible effect on the output, but helps with testing, for
getting the same hb-shape output for visually-equal glyphs for each
cluster.
Computes all the glyphs that may be generated given a font and
set of Unicode characters.
The order of the Unicode characters is irrelevant.

Most common usecase of hb-view is to test rendering of short words for
testing / inspection. Not having to type "--font-size 150" each time
isn't such a bad idea...
Also remove shaper_options argument to hb_shape_full(). That was
unused and for "future". Let it go.
More shaper API coming in preparation for plan/planned API.
This means the --features indices also refer to char position
instead of byte position now. Same for cluster values reported
by hb-shape.
Will add an option for byte indices later.
