Announcing 2.92.0 (Beta-1) release of Lohit Malayalam from lohit2 project

[Pravin Satpute]

Hi All,

    Here comes the 2.92.0 release of Lohit Malayalam. We done number of
improvements and bug fixes over the earlier release [1]. I am happy we
able to resolve all reported bugs against alpha in 2.92.0 release.

*    Following are the highlights:*

  * We had around 9 below base glyphs not used in any lookup, we removed
    those glyphs.
  * Using "copy reference" for glyphs instead of copying whole glyph
    points in most of the places.
  * Sfd file size is now 384K, 2.91.0 release was 408K.
  * Renamed anchor point, it will help in long term for making single
    Lohit font having all scripts.
  * Removed Samvruthokaram ligature.
  * Resolved 10 issues reported on github [2]  :
    #35,#36,#37,#38,.#39,#40.#41,#42,#43,#44.
  * More test cases in test file.
  * Auto test integrated with Makefile ($make test)


    For this release special thanks to Santhosh Thottingal for his
detailed review of Alpha. It helped lot to identify key issues.

    I feel this release is near to final release of Lohit Malayalam and
we can consider this as a Beta.

    Our goal with Lohit2 is to make effective and efficient font which
can be used as a reference for new font developments activity. We still
need help from community to test it and make sure Lohit is following all
standards.

    
    Updated lohit project page [3] for download details. Source tarball
link [4], TTF tarball link [5] and webfonts format for Lohit is at [6].

    Feel free to report any issue AT github. [7]
