FontGoggles 1.8.4 is out: https://github.com/justvanrossum/fontgoggles/releases

It is a minor update which adds support for Unicode 16, and includes the latest HarfBuzz.

Unfortunately I had to drop support for macOS 10.10 (Yosemite), as crucial dependencies no longer support it. FontGoggles 1.8.2 is the latest version that still works on macOS 10.10.

Another big thank you goes to @behdad, who, by creating HarfBuzz, made one of the most important contributions to digital typography of the 21st century, if not of all time.
