Improved

Adjusted height of kashida

Changed Kurdish language to support a U+06BE Heh Doachashmee alternate rather than U+0647 Heh alternate
Fixed rendering bug related to a vowel mark plus a hamza with an intervening combining grapheme joiner

Known issues

Shaping for the newly added characters may not yet occur in applications.
Medial and final high hamza characters may have collisions (these likely do not occur).
Lam + high hamza alef ligature does not form as it likely does not occur.
In Word: kerning of Arabic proportional digits is incorrect. This is a bug in Word.
In InDesign: some behaviors, such as the lam-alef ligature, raised kasra with shadda, and subtending marks, will not function correctly unless Ligatures is turned on in the Characters panel.
