 2009 November 18 (Alexey Kryukov) Version 2.1 (not released)
 
-    * The "Greek and Coptic" Unicode range is now fully covered, except Coptic
-      letters. The epigraphic letters have been implemented in a simple sans-serif
-      style: I don't like "creativity" if it can result in producing urecognizable
-      glyphs.
-
-    * Regular and bold: New alternate glyphs for Cyrillic IE (U+0415/U+0435) and
-      Ukrainian IE (U+0404/U+0454), used by default for Church Slavonic. The intent
-      is to make Old Cyrillic YEST clearly distinguishable both from Latin E and
-      "wide" YEST.
-
-    * New glyphs for CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER MONOGRAPH UK (in all 3 styles).
-
-    * I have implemented a k-shaped kappa in all three styles, a script rho in
-      regular and bold and a rho with straignt tail in italic. These characters
-      (except the script rho) are kept unencoded and can be accessed via the 'mgrk'
-      feature tag. I don't think they would be very useful, but at least it is now
-      possible to use Old Standard for typesetting a copy of the Unicode Greek
-      codechart (I needed one for a book I was preparing).
-
-    * Multiple cosmetic glyph changes. In particular Latin capital "C", "E", "F",
-      "G", "L" and related glyphs have got heavier vertical serifs in the regular font.
-      Cedilla is redesigned (once again) in regular and bold. Shapes of some Greek
-      letters (including alternate beta and theta) have also been improved.
-
-    * I no longer use custom PUA mappings. I have preserved PUA codepoints for
-      a few standard glyphs (including capital accents) previously mapped there
-      by Adobe, as well as for additional accented Greek characters implemented
-      for compatibility with Ralph Hancock's fonts. Everything else has been moved
-      outside the encoding.
-
-    * Oops. I was wrong regarding "zhe with breve": this letter actually
-      should be formed with a standard (Latin) breve rather than a Cyrillic
-      telephone receiver-like accent. BTW I think rhis letter should be
-      available in the font: since I already support historical Romanian
-      characters, the modern Moldavian Cyrillic alphabet should be supported
