Saturday, August 29, 2020
====================================

(Apologies for not waiting for comments on the discussion thread.
I think a quick fix is important since this solves significant fallout
for X11_TYPE=modular users.)
Change pkgsrc versioning scheme to match upstream's.
Bigelow & Holmes have prepared new versions of the Go Fonts. The version
numbers have changed from 2.004 to 2.008. ChangeLog:
* New! 2 new fonts, bringing the total to 12: Go Smallcaps and Go
Smallcaps Italic.
* New! U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER glyph added.
* U+00C5 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE ring tweaked.
* U+00F0 LATIN SMALL LETTER ETH glyph lightened.
* Superfluous U+0005 <control> glyph removed.
* Split integral, chart draw, block, shade and related glyphs now span
the full height and have fewer seams when tiled.
* Raised most capital letter diacritics and some lowercase diacritics.
* Mono character widths fixed to be uniform.
* Underline position adjusted.
* SFNT glyph order and cmap table optimized.
* SFNT glyph names (post table) regularized, consistent with the AGLFN.
* ttfautohint upgraded to the latest version, from 1.5 to 1.6.
The `doc' option still had the issue that gtk-doc - if already installed - will
be accidentally picked up also if the option was disabled.
Be explicit in enabling/disabling it.
ot-funcs now handles variable empty glyphs better when hvar/vvar isn't present.
Reverted a GDEF processing regression.
A couple of fixes to handle OOM better.
Overview of changes leading to 2.7.0
Saturday, July 25, 2020
====================================
- Use an implementation for round that always rounds up, some minor fluctuations
are expected on var font specially when hb-ot callback is used.
- Fix an AAT's `kerx` issue on broken rendering of Devanagari Sangam MN.
- Remove AAT's `lcar` table support from _get_ligature_carets API, not even much
use on macOS installed fonts (only two files). GDEF support is the recommended
one and expected to work properly after issues fixed two releases ago.
- Minor memory fixes to handle OOM better specially in hb-ft.
- Minor .so files versioning scheme change and remove stable/unstable scheme
differences, was never used in practice (always default to stable scheme).
- We are now suggesting careful packaging of the library using meson,
https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/wiki/Notes-on-migration-to-meson
for more information.
- Distribution package URL is changed, either use GitHub generated tarballs,
`https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/archive/$pkgver.tar.gz`
or, even more preferably use commit hash of the release and git checkouts like,
`git+https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz#commit=$commit`
This package contains two font versions: TrueType and OpenType.
One may want to install only one of them and (re)generate font.scale
for this introduce two new config options:
--disable-opentype-install and --disable-truetype-install

The old posters and signs in the traditional neighborhood of Buenos Aires called
Montserrat inspired Julieta Ulanovsky to design a typeface that rescues the
beauty of urban typography from the first half of the twentieth century.
The goal is to rescue what is in Montserrat and set it free, under a free, libre
and open source license, the SIL Open Font License.

UW ttyp0 is a family of bitmap programmer's fonts in bdf format. It covers
most of the Latin and Cyrillic alphabet, Greek, Armenian, Georgian (only
Mkhedruli), Hebrew (without cantillation marks), Thai, most of IPA (but no
UPA), standard punctuation, common symbols, some mathematics, line graphics,
a few dingbats, and Powerline delimiter symbols.
UW ttyp0 comes in nine sizes from 6x11 to 11x22. In all of the sizes there
are regular and bold versions; for some there is also a (somewhat experimental)
italic.
4.12.1:
- [_n_a_m_e] Fixed error in ``addMultilingualName`` with one-character names.
Only attempt to recovered malformed UTF-16 data from a ``bytes`` string,
not from unicode ``str``.
4.12.0:
- [otlLib/varLib] Ensure that the ``AxisNameID`` in the ``STAT`` and ``fvar``
tables is grater than 255 as per OpenType spec.
- [docs] Document more modules in ``fontTools.misc`` package: ``filenames``,
``fixedTools``, ``intTools``, ``loggingTools``, ``macCreatorType``, ``macRes``,
``plistlib``.
- [OS/2] Don't calculate whole sets of unicode codepoints, use faster and more memory
efficient ranges and bisect lookups.
- [voltLib] Support writing back abstract syntax tree as VOLT data.
- [voltLib] Accept DO_NOT_TOUCH_CMAP keyword.
- [subset/merge] Fixed a namespace clash involving a private helper class.
4.11.0:
- [feaLib] Introduced ``includeDir`` parameter on Parser and IncludingLexer to
explicitly specify the directory to search when ``include()`` statements are
encountered.
- [ufoLib] Silently delete duplicate glyphs within the same kerning group when reading
groups.
- [ttLib] Set version of COLR table when decompiling COLRv1 (commit 9d8a7e2).
4.10.2:
- [sfnt] Fixed ``NameError: SimpleNamespace`` while reading TTC header. The regression
was introduced with 4.10.1 after removing ``py23`` star import.
4.10.1:
- [sfnt] Make ``SFNTReader`` pickleable even when TTFont is loaded with lazy=True
option and thus keeps a reference to an external file.
- [feaLib.ast] Restore backward compatibility (broken in 4.10 for
``ChainContextPosStatement`` and ``ChainContextSubstStatement`` classes.
Make them accept either list of lookups or list of lists of lookups.
- [docs] Document some modules in ``fontTools.misc`` package: ``arrayTools``,
``bezierTools`` ``cliTools`` and ``eexec``.
- [ttLib._n_a_m_e] Fixed ``findMultilingualName()`` when name record's ``string`` is
encoded as bytes sequence.
4.10.0:
- [varLib] Allow feature variations to be active across the entire space.
- [ufoLib] Added support for ``formatVersionMinor`` in UFO's ``fontinfo.plist`` and for
``formatMinor`` attribute in GLIF file as discussed in unified-font-object/ufo-spec#78.
No changes in reading or writing UFOs until an upcoming (non-0) minor update of the
UFO specification is published.
- [merge] Fixed merging fonts with different versions of ``OS/2`` table.
- [subset] Fixed ``AttributeError`` while subsetting ``ContextSubst`` and ``ContextPos``
Format 3 subtable.
- [ttLib.table._m_e_t_a] if data happens to be ascii, emit comment in TTX.

user-focused. List all utilities and sub-modules with brief descriptions.
Make README more concise and focused.
- [otlLib] Add function to build STAT table from high-level description.

Ensure all fonttools CLI tools have help documentation.
- [ufoLib] Only write fontinfo.plist when there actually is content.
4.9.0:
- [subset] Fixed subsetting of FeatureVariations table. The subsetter no longer drops
FeatureVariationRecords that have empty substitutions as that will keep the search
going and thus change the logic. It will only drop empty records that occur at the
end of the FeatureVariationRecords array.
- [subset] Remove FeatureVariations table and downgrade GSUB/GPOS to version 0x10000
when FeatureVariations contain no FeatureVariationRecords after subsetting.
- [agl] Add support for legacy Adobe Glyph List of glyph names in ``fontTools.agl``
.
- [feaLib] Ignore superfluous script statements.
- [feaLib] Hide traceback by default on ``fonttools feaLib`` command line.

message.

- [Doc] Included all fontTools modules in the sphinx-generated documentation, and
published it to ReadTheDocs for continuous documentation of the fontTools project
. Check it out at https://fonttools.readthedocs.io/. Thanks to Chris Simpkins!
- [transform] The ``Transform`` class is now subclass of ``typing.NamedTuple``. No
change in functionality.
