 Change History

+2022-02-24 luaotfload v3.19
+
+    *  When used with LuaTeX 1.15.0 or newer, variable fonts are supported
+       when using the harf shaper too.
+    *  A new algorithm for selecting fonts based on font family names allows
+       to more reliably load fonts based on their family name.
+    *  The compiled font database gets compressed to reduce disk space and
+       improve performance on newer systems.
+    *  Text automatically gets normalized to Unicode's NFC before shaping.
+       This improves rendering for text written in decomposed forms for many
+       fonts. This can be turned off by passing the -normalize font feature.
+    *  The fontloader has been synced with the context code from 2022-02-24.
+       This fixes some broken rendering of TrueType based variable fonts.
+    *  A number of small bugfixes.
+
 2021-05-21 luaotfload v3.18
 
     *  Allow using variable fonts without explicitly specifying any axis values
