+<li><em>For the time being</em>, a bold italic shape has been auto-generated. Of course, auto-generating shapes is not a satisfactory solution.

 <li>Additionally, this release corrects the <code>+ss06</code> feature provided by <em>Old Standard</em>. This feature is supposed to distinguish between regular and ‘curled’ beta (β/ϐ) and to print ‘curled’ beta (<code>U+03D0</code>) in medial position. This feature worked in most cases with the previous release of <em>Old Standard</em>. However, it failed if the beta is preceded by a vowel with an acute accent taken from the <em>Greek extended</em> Unicode block.</li>
