    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]
