+- update to 2.7.2:
+  - Fix a regression in the previous release that caused a crash with Kaithi.
+  - More OOM fixes.
+  - ot-funcs now handles variable empty glyphs better when hvar/vvar isn't present.
+  - Reverted a GDEF processing regression.
+  - A couple of fixes to handle OOM better.
+  - Use an implementation for round that always rounds up, some minor fluctuations
+    are expected on var font specially when hb-ot callback is used.
+  - Fix an AAT's `kerx` issue on broken rendering of Devanagari Sangam MN.
+  - Remove AAT's `lcar` table support from _get_ligature_carets API, not even much
+    use on macOS installed fonts (only two files).  GDEF support is the recommended
+    one and expected to work properly after issues fixed two releases ago.
+  - Minor memory fixes to handle OOM better specially in hb-ft.
+  - Minor .so files versioning scheme change and remove stable/unstable scheme
+    differences, was never used in practice (always default to stable scheme).
+  - We are now suggesting careful packaging of the library using meson,
+    https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/wiki/Notes-on-migration-to-meson
+    for more information.
+  - Distribution package URL is changed, either use GitHub generated tarballs,
+    `https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/archive/$pkgver.tar.gz`
+    or, even more preferably use commit hash of the release and git checkouts like,
+    `git+https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz#commit=$commit`
