The largest change within this release is a complete overhaul of text
and font processing. Through the use of libraqm [1], HarfBuzz [2],
SheenBidi [3], and an updated release of FreeType [4], all text should
now support modern font features, enabling full internationalization
in all languages. Not all features of these libraries are supported
yet, but we expect this work to enable further improvements in an
easier manner.

Outside of text handling, there are several improvements to 3D Axes,
performance, new accessible colour sequences, flexible figure
management, and more. See the release notes for more information [5].
