OxiText 0.2.3 Released — Font-Fallback Rendering Was Silently Drawing the Wrong Glyphs

OxiText 0.2.3 fixes a font-fallback bug where a single `.notdef` hit could re-point every already-shaped glyph in a run to the wrong font's glyph table — invisible whenever two fonts share glyph-id numbering. Adds a script-tag introspection API. 851 tests passing. The sovereign Pure Rust text layer for COOLJAPAN.

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.
