Changes from 0.3.3:
* Extended-size fonts, useful for overheads
* \FEYN macro
* spacing adjustments
* added missing propagators
* now released under the terms of the 2-clause BSD licence.
3.25.0:
[varLib] Improved support-resolution algorithm. Previously, the on-axis masters would always cut the space. They don’t anymore. That’s more consistent, and fixes the main issue Erik showed at TYPO Labs 2017. Any varfont built that had an unusual master configuration will change when rebuilt
[varLib.models] Added a main() entry point, that takes positions and prints model results.
[varLib.plot] Added new module to plot a designspace’s VariationModel. Requires matplotlib.
[varLib.mutator] Added -o option to specify output file path
[otTables] Fixed IndexError while pruning of HVAR pre-write
[varLib.models] Convert delta array to floats if values overflows signed short integer
anything depending on fontconfig does too. Add it to buildlink3.mk.
This is a high-impact change to commit during the freeze, but seems both
correct and necessary, and has wiz@'s OK.
The buildlink3.mk should be included for OSes _except_ Darwin.
The proper fix for this would be to have a devel/libuuid/builtin.mk that
detects builtinness.
Finally we have made new stable release, 2.13.0 here. summaries for
changes since last stable release of 2.12.6 are:
- Improve the footprint on cache creation
- emoji/math fonts support
- variable fonts support
- config file description support
- allow sharing caches with bind-mounted dirs
- bug fixes
Overview of changes leading to 1.7.6
Wednesday, March 7, 2018
====================================
- Fix to hb_set_t binary operations. Ouch.
- New experimental harfbuzz-subset library. All of hb-subset.h
is experimental right now and API WILL change.
- New API:
hb_blob_copy_writable_or_fail()
HB_OT_TAG_BASE
hb_set_previous()
hb_set_previous_range()
3.24.1:
[varLib] Don't remap the same DeviceTable twice in VarStore optimizer.
[varLib] Add --disable-iup option to fonttools varLib script, and a optimize=True keyword argument to varLib.build function, to optionally disable IUP optimization while building varfonts.
[ttCollection] Fixed issue while decompiling ttc with python3
Alan Coopersmith (1):
mkfontscale 1.1.3
Emil Velikov (1):
autogen.sh: use quoted string variables
Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia (1):
mkfontscale: Avoid a buffer underrun
Mihail Konev (1):
autogen: add default patch prefix
Peter Hutterer (1):
autogen.sh: use exec instead of waiting for configure to finish
Stefan Dirsch (1):
fix handling of Type1 fonts without /FamilyName and/or /FullName
3.24.0:
[ttGlyphPen] Decompose composite glyphs if any components' transform is too large to fit a F2Dot14 value, or clamp transform values that are (almost) equal to +2.0 to make them fit and avoid decomposing.
[ttx] Added new -g option to dump glyphs from the glyf table splitted as individual ttx files.
Copied ufoLib.filenames module to fontTools.misc.filenames, used for the ttx split-glyphs option .
[feaLib] Added support for cvParameters blocks in Character Variant feautures cv01-cv99.
[Snippets] Added checksum.py script to generate/check SHA1 hash of ttx files.
[varLib.mutator] Fixed issue while instantiating some variable fonts whereby the horizontal advance width computed from gvar phantom points could turn up to be negative.
[varLib/subset] Fixed issue with subsetting GPOS variation data not picking up ValueRecord Device objects (54fd71f).
[feaLib/voltLib] In all AST elements, the location is no longer a required positional argument, but an optional kewyord argument (defaults to None). This will make it easier to construct feature AST from code
3.23.0:
[designspaceLib] Added an optional lib element to the designspace as a whole, as well as to the instance elements, to store arbitrary data in a property list dictionary, similar to the UFO’s lib. Added an optional font attribute to the SourceDescriptor, to allow operating on in-memory font objects.
[cffLib] Fixed issue with lazy-loading of attributes when attempting to set the CFF TopDict.Encoding.
[ttx] Fixed regression introduced in 3.22.0 that affected the split tables -s option.
[feaLib] Added IncludedFeaNotFound custom exception subclass, raised when an included feature file cannot be found.
[otTables] Changed VarIdxMap to use glyph names internally instead of glyph indexes. The old ttx dumps of HVAR/VVAR tables that contain indexes can still be imported.
[varLib] Implemented VarStore optimizer.
[subset] Implemented pruning of GDEF VarStore, HVAR and MVAR.
[sfnt] Restore backward compatiblity with numFonts attribute of SFNTReader object.
[merge] Initial support for merging LangSysRecords.
[ttCollection] don’t seek(0) when writing to possibly unseekable strems.
[subset] Keep all --name-IDs from 0 to 6 by default.
[cffLib] Added width module to calculate optimal CFF default and nominal glyph widths.
[varLib] Don’t fail if STAT already in the master fonts

Tuesday, January 30, 2018
====================================
- Separate Khmer shaper from Indic.
- First stab at AAT morx. Not hooked up.
- Misc bug fixes.
3.22.0:
- [subset] Support subsetting endchar acting as seac-like components
in CFF.
- [feaLib] Allow to build from pre-parsed ast.FeatureFile object.
Added tables argument to only build some tables instead of all.
- [textTools] Replaced safeEval with ast.literal_eval.
- [feaLib] Added option to the parser to not resolve include statements.
- [ttLib] Added new ttCollection module to read/write TrueType and
OpenType Collections. Exports a TTCollection class with a fonts
attribute containing a list of TTFont instances, the methods save
and saveXML, plus some list-like methods. The importXML method is
not implemented yet.
- [unicodeadata] Added ot_tag_to_script function that converts from
OpenType script tag to Unicode script code.
- Added new designspaceLib subpackage, originally from Erik Van Blokland's
designSpaceDocument: https://github.com/LettError/designSpaceDocument
NOTE: this is not yet used internally by varLib, and the API may be subject
to changes.
- Added new FontTools icon images.
- [unicodedata] Added script_horizontal_direction function that returns
either "LTR" or "RTL" given a unicode script code.
- [otConverters] Don't write descriptive name string as XML comment if the
NameID value is 0 (== NULL).
- [unicodedata] Add ot_tags_from_script function to get the list of
OpenType script tags associated with unicode script code.
- [feaLib] Don't error when "enumerated" kern pairs conflict with preceding
single pairs; emit warning and chose the first value.
- [loggingTools] In CapturingLogHandler.assertRegex method, match the
fully formatted log message.
- [sbix] Fixed TypeError when concatenating str and bytes.
- [bezierTools] Implemented cusp support and removed approximate_fallback
arg in calcQuadraticArcLength. Added calcCubicArcLength
