<p>
For tarball releases of HarfBuzz, look
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/harfbuzz/release/" target="_top">here</a>.
At the same place you will
also find Win32 binary bundles that include libharfbuzz DLL, hb-view.exe,
hb-shape.exe, and all dependencies.
</p>
<p>
The canonical source tree is available
<a class="ulink" href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/harfbuzz/" target="_top">here</a>.
Also available on <a class="ulink" href="https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz" target="_top">github</a>.
</p>
<p>
The API that comes with <code class="filename">hb.h</code> will
not change incompatibly. Other, peripheral, headers are more likely to go
through minor modifications, but again, will do our best to never change
API in an incompatible way. We will never break the ABI.
</p>

If you are not sure whether Pango or HarfBuzz is right for you, read
