 3 April 2019 (Khaled Hosny) <Libertinus> Version 6.7
 - Add Cyrillic to Libertinus Serif Bold Italic.
 - Many character additions to Libertinus Math.
 - Set “is extended shape” flag to relevant Libertinus Math glyphs to fix script
   position on large symbols in Microsoft Word.
 - Improve \coloneq and \eqcolon by increasing the space between the colon and
   the equal sign.
 - Make upright \partial and \mbfpartial look upright, and make \mbfpartial
   really bold.
 - Make the vertical bars in Libertinus Math match the height of the other
   delimiters.
 - Use smaller value for SubscriptBaselineDropMin, the subscripts applied to sub
   formulas were positioned too low.

   making them symmetrical (20 units) and rework kerning tables according to
   text font kerning.
 - Fix vertical variants of math symbols.
 - Add more ligatures to Libertinus Serif, and add missing ligatures to other
   Libertinus Serif fonts for parity with the regular style.
 - Move Th ligature to Discretionary Ligatures (“dlig”).
 - Discretionary Ligatures can also be enable using ZWJ control character.
 - Drop “fina” feature for Greek sigma, this feature is for Arabic-like scripts.
 - Move short f substitutions to the more appropriate “calt” feature instead of
   “ccmp”.
 - Drop “nalt” feature as all glyphs it substitutes to are encoded Unicode
   characters that can be accessed directly.
 - Rename font files to match the PostScript name of each font.
 - Make Libertinus Serif Semibold work on legacy applications that support only
   4 styles per family.
 - Fix disordered BlueValues causing warnings with Ghostscript.

 - Align the bottom of the colon with the period.
 - Kern alternate W glyph similar to regular one.
 - Harmonize the design of italic figures.
 - Extend caps lining figures to (almost) all Serif faces and both proportional
   and tabular spacing.
 - Fix Libertinus Serif Italic ђ, it looked like an т.
 - Make few marks that combine two glyphs higher, so that they don’t bump into
   glyph ascenders.
 - Lower Libertinus Mono asterisk and make it bigger.
 - Make combining low line and over line contiguous.
 - Make OpenType features more consistent across fonts.
