    I am trying to typeset documents with long Ses (hist) and dlig ligatures. The ligatures are fine, but the long S is replacing all Ses, not just the ones inside or starting words as it should.
    Here are my font settings:

    \setmainfont{Junicode}[
        Script       = Latin,
        Language     = English,
        Ligatures    = {Rare},
        Contextuals  = {Alternate},
        Style        = {Historic},
        StylisticSet = 18
        ]
    

    Is it something wrong with my system (Windows 10, TeX Live/XeLaTeX, VS Code), do I just not know how to use LaTeX, or did I just misunderstand the Junicode documentation?

    I've only figured out how to set up longs properly since the last Junicode release. I'm overdue for a bug fix release, so will include this feature. I'm traveling now, won't be able to do a new release for five days or so. But when it's fixed, your settings (historical forms + contextual alternates) will handle it correctly.

    That's great news. Looking forward to the bug fix. Thanks for the quick response!
