Overview of changes leading to 1.8.8

  • Fix hb-icu crash on architectures where compare_exchange_weak() can fail falsely. This bug was introduced in 1.8.4. ​https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=873568
  • More internal refactoring of atomic operations and singletons.
  • API changes: The following functions do NOT reference their return value before returning:
    • hb_unicode_funcs_get_default()
    • hb_glib_get_unicode_funcs()
    • hb_icu_get_unicode_funcs()

This is consistent with their naming ("get", instead of "reference") as well as how they are used in the wild (ie. no one calls destroy() on their return value.)
