• DATA: Added punctuation, numerals and currency attributes to orthographies - checking for these attributes will be added in the next update!
• DATA: Added lib/hyperglot/extra_data/default.yaml to include inheritable defaults per script
• DATA: Refined jpn, ryu and ain Katakana orthographies
• FEATURE: Orthography attributes can inherit from other languages with <iso> syntax, see README

0.6.4

• FIX: Fixed an issue where trying to log missing shaping glyphs would crash in FontChecker
• FIX: Improved mark shaping detection to interpret ccmp substitutions of base + mark as correctly shaping (thanks @arialcrime)
• TWEAK: Cleaned up hyperglot.language.Language class and added attribute properties for dict properties with computed defaults (as opposed to writing defaults for missing attributes) as well as more code annotation
• TWEAK: hyperglot.orthography.Orthography object has script_iso attribute returning the mapped ISO 15924 script tag
• DATA: Added lib/extra_data/script-names.yaml with a list of all current Hyperglot scripts and a mapping to their ISO 15924 code equivalent
• DATA: Added di/tri-graphs to Czech and Hungarian orthographies and fixed their order

0.6.3

• FIX: Set correct default values for Language.status and Orthography.preferred_as_group and provide validation and tests for these.
• TWEAK: Deprecated plain list SUPPORTLEVELS, VALIDITYLEVELS, STATUSES, ORTHOGRAPHY_STATUSES and replaced them with SupportLevel, LanguageValidity, LanguageStatus, OrthographyStatus enums throughout the code base. The deprecated values will be removed in the next minor version.
• TESTS: Added simple tox config for running test on all supported minor python versions

0.6.2

• FIX: Fixed type hinting issue causing failure on python 3.8.x
• DATA: Added Banjar (bjn) (thanks @mahalisyarifuddin)

0.6.1

Minor update with just one language data refinement:

• DATA: Refined Romanian by adding design_alternates explicitly

0.6.0

This update introduces some initial joining and mark attachment checks to the hyperglot CLI. Parts of the python library have been restructured to accommodate this, so some object and method signatures have changed.

• DATA: Refined Klingon (tlh) orthography and added a draft version of Toki Pona (tok)
• FEATURE: Implemented shaping checks for mark positioning when required by unencoded base + mark combinations or --decompose
• FEATURE: Implemented shaping checks for connecting scripts to detect presence of required positional forms
• FEATURE: Implemented hyperglot-report command with same options as hyperglot and additional --report-missing n, --report-marks n and --report-joining n — or --report-all n to toggle all aforementioned — parameters/flags for outputting languages almost supported by the font
• TWEAK: Support checking is now done via hyperglot.checker objects for cleaner separation between language data and checking fonts
• TWEAK: Various python APIs and objects changed and refactored
• TWEAK: Bumped required python version to 3.8.0

0.5.3

• DATA : Added Tlingit tli language data (thanks @jcrippen)
• DATA: Fixed inconsistent note about Ŋ in various languages (thanks @moyogo)
• TWEAK: Improved hyperglot-validate to spot lookalike characters in the wrong script, e.g. a (Latin U+0061) vs а (Cyrillic U+0430)
• TWEAK: Explicitly ignore non-yaml files (e.g. operating system or other) in the data when parsing
• TWEAK: Improved hyperglot-validate command to better catch yaml issues (thanks for reporting @jcrippen)
