+- [woff2] Skip normalizing ``glyf`` and ``loca`` tables if these are missing from
+  a font (e.g. in NotoColorEmoji using ``CBDT/CBLC`` tables).
+- [timeTools] Use non-localized date parsing in ``timestampFromString``, to fix
+  error when non-English ``LC_TIME`` locale is set (#1838, #1839).
+- [fontBuilder] Make sure the CFF table generated by fontBuilder can be used by varLib
+  without having to compile and decompile the table first. This was breaking in
+  converting the CFF table to CFF2 due to some unset attributes (#1836).
