0.5.1 12 Jun 2026
Release notes
- Fix word highlights to render as continuous gap-filled blocks
Open source →
0.5.0 12 Jun 2026
Release notes
- Add web (WASM) support: the HarfBuzz/FreeType shaper compiles to WebAssembly via Emscripten (scripts/build_web.sh).
- Add a font parameter (JustificationFont) to JustifiedArabicLine, JustifiedArabicBitmapLine, and JustifiedArabicBlock to select the bundled font; export JustificationFont (madinah, digitalKhatt).
- Add preserveLineHeight to JustifiedArabicBlock: lock each row to the layout grid so changing fontSize no longer moves the lines (glyphs centered in a fixed slot).
- Add staticMarker / markerFontSize to JustifiedArabicBlock: render markers (e.g. ayah marks) at a fixed size while the body text resizes; falls back to the block's auto-fit size.

0.4.0 23 Apr 2026
Release notes
- Add JustifiedArabicBlock for multi-line rendering with a shared font size
- Align line and block sizing so both widgets pick the same fontSize for the same slot
Open source →
0.3.0 18 Apr 2026
Release notes
- Add colorSpans for per-character color tinting inside words
- Add height parameter to auto-fit the line to a given height

0.2.0 17 Apr 2026
Release notes
- Add JustifiedArabicLine and JustifiedArabicBitmapLine widgets
- Add word / marker tap callbacks with verseMarker support
- Add highlightedWordIndices for tap-selection highlights
- Add WordProgress for read-along animation (passed + active words, background + glyph tint)
- Add WordProgressStyle.sweep and .whole for active-word animation
- Add hiddenWordIndices for progressive-reveal
- Fix non-justified line width to natural text extents
- Narrow public API to the widgets; remove low-level renderLine / getOutline export

0.1.0 14 Apr 2026
Release notes
- Add JustificationFont enum exposing the bundled digitalKhatt font with a load() helper that copies the asset to the application support directory and returns its path
- Ship prebuilt native binaries for Android and iOS; drop HarfBuzz/FreeType git submodules so consumers no longer need to build them from source
- Implement kashida justification via the font's LTAT/RTAT variable-font axes instead of glyph-level tatweel insertion
- Tighten kashida solver: bracket the full axis range and return the upper bracket so justified lines reach the target width instead of undershooting
- Use available line width when sizing justified bitmaps and outlines so equal-width lines are no longer clipped
