Will Robertson submitted an update to the

                fontspec

package.

Version number: 2.7b
License type: lppl1.3c

Summary description: Advanced font selection in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

## v2.7b (2019/02/12)

* Fix regression in loading `Language=Turkish`. This now allows users
  to define more than one OpenType tag when defining a language name,
  where the first tag found is the one selected for the font. E.g.,

  \newfontlanguage{Turkish}{TRK,TUR}

  when selected, this first checks for the existance of the TRK
  language tag, and if not found then checks for the TUR language tag
  to use if available.

* Add new `Renderer` options for LuaTeX that enable the Harfbuzz
  engine. These only work running under `luahbtex` and are currently
  experimental. The new options are `Harfbuzz`, `OpenType`, `AAT`, and
  `Graphite`.

* Always try to remove ‘clashing’ font features inside
  `\addfontfeatures` even in cases when the requested font feature
  doesn't exist. E.g., now if a font is loaded with `Numbers=OldStyle`
  and *doesn't have* `Numbers=Lining`, requesting the latter will still
  re!set the former.

* Add `pxfonts`, `txfonts`, `newpxmath`, `newtxmath`, `mtpro2` to the
  list of packages that automatically invoke `no-math`.

* Add `\providefontfamily`, `\setfontface`, `\renewfontface`, and
  `\providefontface`.

* Add local/global distinction with `\fontspec_(g)set_family:Nnn` and
  `\fontspec_(g)set_fontface:NNnn`.
