+## 1.0.0
+
+- Initial public release of Ome Swarlipi and Omenad Meend fonts
+- Omenad Meend fonts are versioned 1.2.0 to account for differences from the
+  original 2007 release, but that was internal and never made public. Thus,
+  effectively, this is 1.0.0 for all of them. Ome Swarlipi has not had any
+  changes since its 2007 version.
