     when large tiles are not enabled (the default)
 * x86: Fix PIC flags not being interpreted by the assembler, breaking the
     asm-enabled build setup on NetBSD and OpenBSD. On 32-bit x86, if the toolchain
     requires PIC objects and relies on compiler defaults to get PIC implicitly,
     you need to pass `--with-pic` to configure to ensure NASM always produces
     PIC objects
 * x86: Fix AVX support not being detected on non-Intel CPUs and some VMs
 * x86: Fix CPUID being used on CPUs not supporting the instruction (<= i486)
     and the way it is used for CPUs with less than 7 CPUID-leafs

     see documentation of related functions for details

 * Improve speed via better caching
 * Require HarfBuzz unconditionally to ensure good shaping for complex scripts

 * Add ass_track_set_feature() & catch-all ASS_FEATURE_INCOMPATIBLE_EXTENSIONS
 * Add ASS_FEATURE_BIDI_BRACKETS to enable Unicode 6.3+ bracket matching

 * Switch from Yasm to NASM for building hand-written assembler code

   including composite bitmap cache.

     result in illegal reads while laying out and shaping text.
     (CVE-2016-7969)

libass (0.13.3)

     missing subtitles after seeking.
   * Fix a crash with CoreText under specific circumstances

libass (0.13.1)
 * Much faster duplicate event check in ass_process_chunk. This can
   bring a large speedup for embedded subtitles with lots of events.
   To make this possible, it is now forbidden to combine calls to
   ass_process_chunk with any other method of manipulating the event
   list, namely, manual manipulation and calls to ass_process_data,
   ass_read_memory and ass_read_file.
 * Interpret negative timestamp components as actual negative numbers.
   This change increases compatibility with VSFilter.
 * Font matching changes for VSFilter compatibility

     uses libiconv
   * Fix some small memory leaks, potential crashes and bad data uses

libass (0.13.0)
 * Add native font selection backends for OSX (CoreText) and Windows
   (DirectWrite). You can now run libass without fontconfig on these
   platforms. This fixes problems with fontconfig behaving badly on
   these platforms (it could take minutes to scan all system fonts).
   Even on Linux, this speeds up loading of embedded fonts (such as
   provided by ass_add_font()).
   The DirectWrite backend only works on Windows Vista and later. On
   XP, fontconfig is still needed. libass can be compiled with both
   DirectWrite and fontconfig, and then it will fallback to fontconfig
   automatically if DirectWrite is not available at runtime.
 * Add ass_get_available_font_providers() API function.
 * Change the 4th parameter of ass_set_fonts(). This now selects the
   font provider. This is somewhat backwards compatible with the old
   behavior, but if you ever passed values other than 0 or 1, your
   application might break with this libass release.
 * The ass_fonts_update() function now does nothing. It's kept for
   backward compatibility only.
 * Much faster gaussian blur. This can bring a large speedup with big
   blurred signs and such.
