<div class="note">
<p>
The current HarfBuzz codebase is versioned 2.x.x and is stable
and under active maintenance. This is what is used in latest
versions of Firefox, GNOME, ChromeOS, Chrome, LibreOffice,
XeTeX, Android, and KDE, among other places.
</p>
<p>
Prior to 2012, the original HarfBuzz codebase (which, these days, is
referred to as <span class="emphasis"><em>harfbuzz-old</em></span>) was derived from code
in <a class="ulink" href="http://freetype.org/" target="_top">FreeType</a>,
<a class="ulink" href="http://pango.org/" target="_top">Pango</a>, and
<a class="ulink" href="http://qt-project.org/" target="_top">Qt</a>.
It is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> actively developed or maintained, and is
extremely buggy. All users of harfbuzz-old are encouraged to switch over
to the new HarfBuzz as soon as possible.
</p>
<p>
To make this distinction clearer in discussions, the current HarfBuzz
codebase is sometimes referred to as <span class="emphasis"><em>harfbuzz-ng</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
For reference purposes, the harfbuzz-old source tree is archived
<a class="ulink" href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/harfbuzz.old/" target="_top">here</a>.
There are no release tarballs of harfbuzz-old whatsoever.
