OxiText 0.2.2 Released — Vendored Swash Fork Fixes Two Indic Shaping Bugs, Absorbs an Unfixed Upstream Panic
OxiText 0.2.2 vendors its own fork of swash to fix a Devanagari reph-duplication bug and an out-of-bounds panic that has sat open and unfixed upstream since April 2025, adds a Pure-Rust PNG decoder to fully remove the `png`/`flate2` dependency chain, and fixes color-glyph misdetection for sbix/CBDT/SVG fonts — 845 tests passing, the sovereign text layer for the COOLJAPAN ecosystem.
