v6.8.1

Fixed a regression introduced in v6.8.0 when the optional glyph_data parameter is passed to to_designspace and to_ufos functions. This corresponds to fontmake's --glyph-data CLI flag, and consists in a list of paths to custom GlyphData.xml files. After v6.8.0, an AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'names' exception was raised when the parameter was set (#1019, #1020).

v6.8.0

• Rewrote composite glyphs' anchor propagation logic to better match the built-in Glyphs.app feature. This is based on the Rust implementation in fontc, in turn based on the original Objective-C code which was shared with us privately. It fixes various issues with anchor propagation (#368, #1011). Note that currently only 'master' layers have their anchors propagated (not unlike the old code which this replaces, see #1017).

v6.7.2

• markFeatureWriter: optimize contextual mark positioning lookups (#1010)
• GSGlyph: fix iterating over layers of orphan glyphs (#1013)
• GSLayer: fix name property when parent GSGlyph is in turn orphan (#1014)

v6.7.1

• Stops brace layers inheriting width linking from their masters (#985)
• Adds some test cases for deriving categories from glyphs with complex names (#1000)

v6.7.0

• Removed resolve_intermediate_components from the preflight stage, since this is no longer needed now that ufo2ft v3.2.0 will handle this at build time (only if/when actually needed).
