+### Changes in PDF Generation
+
+Complex scripts are now partially supported. This applies to latin ligatures
and some indian scripts.
+This may result in slight visual differences even if you're not writing Indian
text,
+as shown in [PDFBOX-6149](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-6149).
+If you do not want this to happen, deactivate the feature by calling
``TrueTypeFont.setEnableGsub(false)``.

### Changes when saving PDF
#### Compressed saving by default
