- Update to version 0.15.0
* Fix backwards/VSFilter-incompatible font sizes with FreeType
2.10+
* Improve speed via better caching
* Require HarfBuzz unconditionally to ensure good shaping for
complex scripts
* ass_set_use_margins(true) now simply places text on the whole
screen instead of attempting to tie it to video positioning
(set by the margin values) and failing in various ways when
margins are used to implement pan & scan in a video player
* Add ass_track_set_feature() & catch-all
ASS_FEATURE_INCOMPATIBLE_EXTENSIONS
* Add ASS_FEATURE_BIDI_BRACKETS to enable Unicode 6.3+ bracket
matching when applying the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm
(incompatible with VSFilter; requires libass built with
FriBidi 1.0+)
* Fix stack overflow on deeply nested \t tags
* Fix positioning of events with leading line breaks
* Fix small but nonzero \bord becoming \bord0 (regression in
0.14.0)
* Measure BorderStyle=4 box padding from glyph border, not
from glyph fill
* Scale everything from script resolution if storage size is
not set (including borders and shadows regardless of
ScaledBorderAndShadow)
* Fix the default aspect ratio calculation when neither
ass_set_pixel_aspect() nor ass_set_aspect_ratio() is called
* Multiple fixes for karaoke override tags
* Handle memory allocation failures better:
avoid some crashes and produce images closer to truth
* Avoid some integer overflows
* Add internal infrastructure for regression testing
* Improve VSFilter compatibility:
+ Treat invalid nested \t tags like VSFilter
+ Make \t(T,T,...) at time exactly T use the post-transition
values
+ Make lines stack more like they do in VSFilter
+ Default ScaledBorderAndShadow to 0 (like VSFilter),
except for subtitles that were produced by old FFmpeg/Libav
+ Make shadow positioning with 3D transforms match VSFilter's
+ Cut out glyphs from border & shadow in all the same cases
as VSFilter
+ Match VSFilter on animated color tags with negative
acceleration
+ Fix parsing of some files that VSFilter accepts but libass
didn't by ignoring leading whitespace in each line of an
ASS file or CodecPrivate
+ Improve font selection with CoreText
+ Stop faux-bolding fonts that are too bold to get faux bold
in VSFilter
+ Ignore leading/trailing spaces when calculating height of
nonblank lines
+ Match VSFilter on \fade with large alpha value arguments
+ Stop splitting bitmaps on font substitution
+ Multiple fixes for Banner and Scroll effects
+ Multiple fixes for karaoke override tags

This is the best I can do. If 11.4 doesn't provide a new enough fribidi there is nothing I can do... It's not an optional feature. We need to test the latest libass in Factory even if it is not available in 11.4.
I suggest a "osc copypac -r <last revision that builds> multimedia:libs libass multimedia:libs libass-pre121" or linking the latest fribidi in multimedia:libs.
- Update to version 0.10.0
+ Bidirectional layout and Arabic shaping via FriBidi (GC #13)
+ Add API for shaper configuration
+ Add support for `Language' Script Info property, this can be
used for hinting the text language
+ Vertical layout improvements
* Use `vert' and `vkna' OpenType features for vertical glyph
variants
* Position rotated glyphs onto baseline
+ Parse font encoding property for base text direction hinting
+ Refactor cache system
+ Use generic outlines in place of FreeType glyphs
+ Direct outline bitmap rendering
+ Fix whitespace trimming (GC #35)
+ Do not render border if there's no shadow or glyph (GC #29)
+ Adjust spacing after a italic to non-italic style change (GC #37)
+ Fix fade timing
+ Fix x positioning with borders (GC #27)
- Use pkgconfig() BuildRequires
- Parameterize the soname number (forwarded request 89752 from RedDwarf)
