v1.9.2

• Fixed issue generating interpolated instance UFOs (via MutatorMath) from Glyphs or DesignSpace input, when using the options -i -o ufo. The regression was introduced in v1.9.0 (3460616).
• Bumped minium required fonttools (3.41.0) and ufo2ft (2.8.0). See the respective changelogs for more details:
  https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/releases/tag/3.38.0
  https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/releases/tag/3.39.0
  https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/releases/tag/3.40.0

v1.9.2b1

Testing automatic deployment with updated credentials.

v1.9.1

• Hotfix to fix #515.
• Bump fontTools minimum version to 3.37.3 to get fonttools/fonttools#1477.

v1.9.0

• Support sparse sources, i.e. source elements in Designspaces with a layerName attribute. Together with glyphsLib 3.2.0, this means automatic support for brace (and bracket) layers. Only outline and spacing information will be taken from sparse sources. Note that there's a bug in fontTools' MVAR generation code that is fixed upstream, but needs to be released (fonttools/fonttools#1477).
• Added a CLI option --expand-features-to-instances, useful when making static instances while using a shared feature file in the masters. The option will expand the feature file to all instances, to avoid inclusion problems with the include() statement.
• Support making variable CFF2 fonts in the future. This currently depends on fonttools/fonttools#1475.
• Bump minimum dependency versions to support the above.

v1.8.0

• Added --optimize-cff option to enable/disable CFF charstrings specialization and subroutinization.
  The --{,no}subroutinize options are deprecated, but still work for a while (#475).

• Bumped all minimum installation requirements, so that we can use the new fontTools.ufoLib module, which replaces the standalone ufoLib module, and adds support for UFOZ (zipped UFO) format, among other things:

  • fonttools[ufo,lxml,unicode] >= 3.32.0
  • cu2qu >= 1.6.5
  • glyphsLib >= 3.1.3
  • ufo2ft >= 2.5.0
  • MutatorMath >= 2.1.2
  • defcon[lxml] >= 0.6.0
  • booleanOperations >= 0.8.1

v1.7.5

• Read and apply com.github.googlei18n.ufo2ft.featureWriters settings that are defined inside a designspace global <lib> element.
  googlefonts/glyphsLib#441
  googlefonts/ufo2ft#280

• Bumped minumum requirements:

  • glyphsLib >= 3.1.2
    https://github.com/googlei18n/glyphsLib/releases/tag/v3.1.2

  • ufo2ft >= 2.4.0
    https://github.com/googlei18n/ufo2ft/releases/tag/v2.4.0

v1.7.4

Updated requirements:

• fonttools >= 3.30.0
  https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/releases/tag/3.29.1
  https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/releases/tag/3.30.0

• glyphsLib >= 3.3.1
  https://github.com/googlei18n/glyphsLib/releases/tag/v3.1.0
  https://github.com/googlei18n/glyphsLib/releases/tag/v3.1.1

• ufo2ft >= 2.3.1
  https://github.com/googlei18n/ufo2ft/releases/tag/v2.3.0.post1
  https://github.com/googlei18n/ufo2ft/releases/tag/v2.3.1

• defcon >= 0.5.3
  https://github.com/typesupply/defcon/releases/tag/0.5.3

Using setuptools_scm to generate package __version__ from git tags.

v1.7.3

- Fixed error with `-M/--masters-as-instances` option when running fontmake
  from designspace input (#459).

v1.7.2

Uploaded fontmake zipapps (.pyz) manually for now.

v1.7.1

• ufoLib with lxml support is now a hard requirement of fontmake. Lxml provides precompiled wheels for all python versions and platforms that fontmake supports so this is ok.
• Added self-contained python zipapps for all the platforms/python versions that are currently supported by fontmake. Just download the fontmake*.pyz file that matches your python, platform and architecture and run it like a normal executable. No need to create virtual environments or install any dependencies. They are all embedded in the .pyz file (which is actually a zip file with some magic bootstrapping python code and the whole site-packages embedded). Please report any issues that you find.
