###

Overview of changes leading to 1.8.8 Tuesday, August 14, 2018

- Fix hb-icu crash on architectures where compare_exchange_weak() can fail falsely. This bug was introduced in 1.8.4. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=873568
- More internal refactoring of atomic operations and singletons.- API changes: The following functions do NOT reference their return value before returning:
- hb_unicode_funcs_get_default()
- hb_glib_get_unicode_funcs()
- hb_icu_get_unicode_funcs() This is consistent with their naming ("get", instead of "reference") as well as how they are used in the wild (ie. no one calls destroy() on their return value.)
