Overview of changes between 1.15.0 and 1.15.1
==============================================
* Add Thai langauage engine. (currently makes tests/testboundary fail.)
* Add Lao and improved Thai sample text.
* Improved Indic module.
* Output correct path for hexboxes in pango_cairo_layout_path().
* Implement get_resolution method for the FT2 fontmap.  Shouldn't make
  any difference whatsoever.  Open a bug if it does.
* Misc small fixes.

* Optimizations:
  - Rework PangoLayout algorithms to avoid calling a recursive call to
    pango_layout_get_extents().  Avoids one pango_font_get_glyph_extents()
    call per glyph per layout rendering.  We now make 2 such calls.
  - Don't cache run_logical_rect in PangoLayoutIter.
    Avoids one pango_font_get_glyph_extents() call per glyph per layout
    rendering.  We are down to 1 now.
  - Cache line extents.  This avoids the final pango_font_get_glyph_extents()
    call per glyph per layout rendering.  Now we don't make any
    pango_font_get_glyph_extents() calls when rendering a layout (some
    conditions apply)!
  - Replace PANGO_IS_RENDERER with PANGO_IS_RENDERER_FAST for most
    internal uses, that is, just a NULL-check.
  - Use simple, fast, casts instead of PANGO_CAIRO_*() macros where the
    object cannot have reached us if it wasn't of the right type.

* Bugs fixed in this release:
	Bug 135683 â?? Cache glyphstring extents
	Red Hat Bug 211964: [ta] Rendering issue with Tamil

	Red Hat Bug 213632: ZWJ (200d) and ZWNJ (200c) showing same output

Changes that also appeared between 1.14.7 and 1.14.8
=====================================================
* Improved thread-safety.  Pango is still NOT thread-safe, but this fixes
  lots of crashes using pangocairo from multiple threads.
* Fix out-of-bounds array access.
* Improved Indic shaper.
* Improved Arabic language engine.
* Choose shaper/font for unassigned Unicode codepoints.
* Build fixes.
* Bugs fixed in this release:
	Bug 356666 â?? pango is not thread-safe, nautilus does not honour that
	Bug 352795 â?? configure.in: Bug in "checking Whether to write
	             dependencies into .pc files"
	Bug 350132 â?? backspacing doesn't work properly for Arabic
	Bug 330407 â?? Multiple dependant vowel signs (indic) displayed as one
	Patch from LingNing Zhang
