Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes

This section lists public API changes that were introduced in GroupDocs.Metadata for .NET 19.3. It includes not only new and obsoleted public methods, but also a description of any changes in the behavior behind the scenes in GroupDocs.Metadata which may affect existing code. Any behavior introduced that could be seen as regression and modifies existing behavior is especially important and is documented here.

Implement the ability to parse font files

This new feature allows a user to read metadata of OpenType fonts
