[XeTeX] XeTeX 0.9999.2 released

[Khaled Hosny]

Hi Zdenek,

For all the failing tests I get the same output from Uniscribe as from
HarfBuzz and the new XeTeX, as such I believe those are font bugs. The
difference is probably because the font now contains version 2 Indic features
which HarfBuzz will always use (there is no way to tell HarfBuzz to use
the old features if the new ones are present).

Regards,
Khaled
