4.40.0
- Published native binary wheels to PyPI for all the python minor versions and platform
and architectures currently supported that would benefit from this. They will include
precompiled Cython-accelerated modules (e.g. cu2qu) without requiring to compile them
from source. The pure-python wheel and source distribution will continue to be
published as always (pip will automatically chose them when no binary wheel is
available for the given platform, e.g. pypy). Use ``pip install --no-binary=fonttools fonttools``
to expliclity request pip to install from the pure-python source.
- [designspaceLib|varLib] Add initial support for specifying axis mappings and build
``avar2`` table from those (#3123).
- [feaLib] Support variable ligature caret position (#3130).
- [varLib|glyf] Added option to --drop-implied-oncurves; test for impliable oncurve
points either before or after rounding (#3146, #3147, #3155, #3156).
- [TTGlyphPointPen] Don't error with empty contours, simply ignore them (#3145).
- [sfnt] Fixed str vs bytes remnant of py3 transition in code dealing with de/compiling
WOFF metadata (#3129).
- [instancer-solver] Fixed bug when moving default instance with sparse masters (#3139, #3140).
- [feaLib] Simplify variable scalars that don’t vary (#3132).
- [pens] Added filter pen that explicitly emits closing line when lastPt != movePt (#3100).
- [varStore] Improve optimize algorithm and better document the algorithm (#3124, #3127).
Added ``quantization`` option (#3126).
- Added CI workflow config file for building native binary wheels (#3121).
- [fontBuilder] Added glyphDataFormat=0 option; raise error when glyphs contain cubic
outlines but glyphDataFormat was not explicitly set to 1 (#3113, #3119).
- [subset] Prune emptied GDEF.MarkGlyphSetsDef and remap indices; ensure GDEF is
subsetted before GSUB and GPOS (#3114, #3118).
- [xmlReader] Fixed issue whereby DSIG table data was incorrectly parsed (#3115, #2614).
- [varLib/merger] Fixed merging of SinglePos with pos=0 (#3111, #3112).
- [feaLib] Demote "Feature has not been defined" error to a warning when building aalt
and referenced feature is empty (#3110).
- [feaLib] Dedupe multiple substitutions with classes (#3105).
