The blog writeup can be as

The fontconfig 2.13 Change will be based on the fontconfig upstream 2.13 release which will help to reduce the time during the font package installation/removal on the scriptlet to create/update caches which will make package installations/removal 5x to 10x faster than the previous release. This release also improves performance of the applications with flatpak.

Then there are 3 default font Changes for Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages. All these languages now will use default font as Google Noto fonts. E.g. for Serif style they will use Noto Serif CJK, Noto Serif JP, Noto Serif KR fonts respectively.

Then next Change is Glibc collation update and sync with cldr which is to update collation data in glibc to an ISO file from 2015 (in sync with Unicode 8.0.0) and sync collation rules of the locales with CLDR. This will fix many bugs in the collation and make glibc sort more correctly according to current standards.

The last Change from Internationalization team is IBus Unicode Typing. IBus core provides an Emoji dialog which users can type emoji annotations and output the emoji character using IBus (E.g. Typing "football" shows U+26BD). The proposal is the dialog also supports to type Unicode names (E.g. Typing "copyright sign" shows U+00A9).

Awesome, i will work on this and push it to the blog, do you have any preferred dates when you want this to get published?

maybe earlier as 2nd march and late as 7th march
