@dohyunkim, @h-kitagawa, @schlcht, @aminophen, and @u-fischer for
the numerous bug reports and contributions.

Luaotfload v2.7

Release for this year’s TeX Live. Apart from the usual bugfixes, small improvements, pruning
of legacy code and general maintenance, the most important changes are:

• Update the fontloader code to Context 2016.04.19 17:16. As a consequence, Luatex’s
  builtin fontloader library is not used anymore because all the font handling has been
  moved to the Lua end.
• Font combinations: Using a new request syntax, virtual fonts can now be created on the
  fly from other fonts by importing glyph sets A special case of this is specifying a fallback
  font.

Many thanks to Hans Hagen for the smooth cooperation; also the input of @dohyunkim and
others on Github proved very valuable.
