 Changelog
 ~~~~~~~~~
 
+4.61.1 (released 2025-12-12)
+----------------------------
+
+- [otlLib] buildCoverage: return empty Coverage instead of None (#4003, #4004).
+- [instancer] bug fix in ``avar2`` full instancing (#4002).
+- [designspaceLib] Preserve empty conditionsets when serializing to XML (#4001).
+- [fontBu ilder] Fix FontBuilder ``setupOS2()`` default params globally polluted (#3996, #3997).
+- [ttFont] Add more typing annotations to ttFont, xmlWriter, sfnt, varLib.models and others (#3952, #3826).
+- Explicitly test and declare support for Python 3.14, even though we were already shipping pre-built wheels for it (#3990).
+
+4.60.2 (released 2025-12-09)
+----------------------------
+
+- **Backport release** Same as 4.61.0 but without "Drop support for EOL Python 3.9" change to allow
+  downstream projects still on Python 3.9 to avail of the security fix for CVE-2025-66034 (#3994, #3999).
+
+4.61.0 (released 2025-11-28)
+----------------------------
+
+- [varLib.main]: **SECURITY** Only use basename(vf.filename) to prevent path traversal attacks when
+  running ``fonttools varLib`` command, or code which invokes ``fonttools.varLib.main()``.
+  Fixes CVE-2025-66034, see:
+  https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/security/advisories/GHSA-768j-98cg-p3fv.
+- [feaLib] Sort BaseLangSysRecords by tag (#3986).
+- Drop support for EOL Python 3.9 (#3982).
+- [instancer] Support --remove-overlaps for fonts with CFF2 table (#3975).
+- [CFF2ToCFF] Add --remove-overlaps option (#3976).
+- [feaLib] Raise an error for rsub with NULL target (#3979).
+- [bezierTools] Fix logic bug in curveCurveIntersections (#3963).
+- [feaLib] Error when condition sets have the same name (#3958).
+- [cu2qu.ufo] skip processing empty glyphs to support sparse kerning masters (#3956).
+- [unicodedata] Update to Unicode 17. Require ``unicodedata2 >= 17.0.0`` when installed with 'unicode' extra.
+
+4.60.1 (released 2025-09-29)
+----------------------------
+
+- [ufoLib] Reverted accidental method name change in ``UFOReader.getKerningGroupConversionRenameMaps``
+  that broke compatibility with downstream projects like defcon (#3948, #3947, robotools/defcon#478).
+- [ufoLib] Added test coverage for ``getKerningGroupConversionRenameMaps`` method (#3950).
+- [subset] Don't try to subset BASE table; pass it through by default instead (#3949).
+- [subset] Remove empty BaseRecord entries in MarkBasePos lookups (#3897, #3892).
+- [subset] Add pruning for MarkLigPos and MarkMarkPos lookups (#3946).
+- [subset] Remove duplicate features when subsetting (#3945).
+- [Docs] Added documentation for the visitor module (#3944).
+
+4.60.0 (released 2025-09-17)
+----------------------------
+
+- [pointPen] Allow ``reverseFlipped`` parameter of ``DecomposingPointPen`` to take a ``ReverseFlipped``
+  enum value to control whether/how to reverse contour direction of flipped components, in addition to
+  the existing True/False. This allows to set ``ReverseFlipped.ON_CURVE_FIRST`` to ensure that
+  the decomposed outline starts with an on-curve point before being reversed, for better consistency
+  with other segment-oriented contour transformations. The change is backward compatible, and the
+  default behavior hasn't changed (#3934).
+- [filterPen] Added ``ContourFilterPointPen``, base pen for buffered contour operations, and
+  ``OnCurveStartPointPen`` filter to ensure contours start with an on-curve point (#3934).
+- [cu2qu] Fixed difference in cython vs pure-python complex division by real number (#3930).
+- [varLib.avar] Refactored and added some new sub-modules and scripts (#3926).
+  * ``varLib.avar.build`` module to build avar (and a missing fvar) binaries into a possibly empty TTFont,
+  * ``varLib.avar.unbuild`` module to print a .designspace snippet that would generate the same avar binary,
+  * ``varLib.avar.map`` module to take TTFont and do the mapping, in user/normalized space,
+  * ``varLib.avar.plan`` module moved from ``varLib.avarPlanner``.
+  The bare ``fonttools varLib.avar`` script is deprecated, in favour of ``fonttools varLib.avar.build`` (or ``unbuild``).
+- [interpolatable] Clarify ``linear_sum_assignment`` backend options and minimal dependency
+  usage (#3927).
+- [post] Speed up ``build_psNameMapping`` (#3923).
+- [ufoLib] Added typing annotations to fontTools.ufoLib (#3875).
+
+4.59.2 (released 2025-08-27)
+----------------------------
+
+- [varLib] Clear ``USE_MY_METRICS`` component flags when inconsistent across masters (#3912).
+- [varLib.instancer] Avoid negative advance width/height values when instatiating HVAR/VVAR,
+  (unlikely in well-behaved fonts) (#3918).
+- [subset] Fix shaping behaviour when pruning empty mark sets (#3915, harfbuzz/harfbuzz#5499).
+- [cu2qu] Fixed ``dot()`` product of perpendicular vectors not always returning exactly 0.0
+  in all Python implementations (#3911)
+- [varLib.instancer] Implemented fully-instantiating ``avar2`` fonts (#3909).
+- [feaLib] Allow float values in ``VariableScalar``'s axis locations (#3906, #3907).
+- [cu2qu] Handle special case in ``calc_intersect`` for degenerate cubic curves where 3 to 4
+  control points are equal (#3904).
+
+4.59.1 (released 2025-08-14)
+----------------------------
+
+- [featureVars] Update OS/2.usMaxContext if possible after addFeatureVariationsRaw (#3894).
+- [vhmtx] raise TTLibError('not enough data...') when hmtx/vmtx are truncated (#3843, #3901).
+- [feaLib] Combine duplicate features that have the same set of lookups regardless of the order in which those lookups are added to the feature (#3895).
+- [varLib] Deprecate ``varLib.mutator`` in favor of ``varLib.instancer``. The latter
+  provides equivalent full (static font) instancing in addition to partial VF instancing.
+  CLI users should replace ``fonttools varLib.mutator`` with ``fonttools varLib.instancer``.
+  API users should migrate to ``fontTools.varLib.instancer.instantiateVariableFont`` (#2680).
+
+
+4.59.0 (released 2025-07-16)
+----------------------------
+
+- Removed hard-dependency on pyfilesystem2 (``fs`` package) from ``fonttools[ufo]`` extra.
+  This is replaced by the `fontTools.misc.filesystem` package, a stdlib-only, drop-in
+  replacement for the subset of the pyfilesystem2's API used by ``fontTools.ufoLib``.
+  The latter should continue to work with the upstream ``fs`` (we even test with/without).
+  Clients who wish to continue using ``fs`` can do so by depending on it directly instead
+  of via the ``fonttools[ufo]`` extra (#3885, #3620).
+- [xmlWriter] Replace illegal XML characters (e.g. control or non-characters) with "?"
+  when dumping to ttx (#3868, #71).
+- [varLib.hvar] Fixed vertical metrics fields copy/pasta error (#3884).
+- Micro optimizations in ttLib and sstruct modules (#3878, #3879).
+- [unicodedata] Add Garay script to RTL_SCRIPTS (#3882).
+- [roundingPen] Remove unreliable kwarg usage. Argument names aren’t consistent among
+  point pens’ ``.addComponent()`` implementations, in particular ``baseGlyphName``
+  vs ``glyphName`` (#3880).
+
+4.58.5 (released 2025-07-03)
+----------------------------
+
+- [feaLib] Don't try to combine ligature & multisub rules (#3874).
+- [feaLib/ast] Use weakref proxies to avoid cycles in visitor (#3873).
+- [varLib.instancer] Fixed instancing CFF2 fonts where VarData contains more than 64k items (#3858).
+
+4.58.4 (released 2025-06-13)
+----------------------------
+
+- [feaLib] Allow for empty MarkFilter & MarkAttach sets (#3856).
+
+4.58.3 (released 2025-06-13)
+----------------------------
+
+- [feaLib] Fixed iterable check for Python 3.13.4 and newer (#3854, #3855).
+
+4.58.2 (released 2025-06-06)
+----------------------------
+
+- [ttLib.reorderGlyphs] Handle CFF2 when reordering glyphs (#3852)
+- [subset] Copy name IDs in use before scrapping or scrambling them for webfonts (#3853)
+
+4.58.1 (released 2025-05-28)
+----------------------------
+
+- [varLib] Make sure that fvar named instances only reuse name ID 2 or 17 if they are at the default location across all axes, to match OT spec requirement (#3831).
+- [feaLib] Improve single substitution promotion to multiple/ligature substitutions, fixing a few bugs as well (#3849).
+- [loggingTools] Make ``Timer._time`` a static method that doesn't take self, makes it easier to override (#3836).
+- [featureVars] Use ``None`` for empty ConditionSet, which translates to a null offset in the compiled table (#3850).
+- [feaLib] Raise an error on conflicting ligature substitution rules instead of silently taking the last one (#3835).
+- Add typing annotations to T2CharStringPen (#3837).
+- [feaLib] Add single substitutions that were promoted to multiple or ligature substitutions to ``aalt`` feature (#3847).
+- [featureVars] Create a default ``LangSys`` in a ``ScriptRecord`` if missing when adding feature variations to existing GSUB later in the build (#3838).
+- [symfont] Added a ``main()``.
+- [cffLib.specializer] Fix rmoveto merging when blends used (#3839, #3840).
+- [pyftmerge] Add support for cmap format 14 in the merge tool (#3830).
+- [varLib.instancer/cff2] Fix vsindex of Private dicts when instantiating (#3828, #3232).
+- Update text file read to use UTF-8 with optional BOM so it works with e.g. Windows Notepad.exe (#3824).
+- [varLib] Ensure that instances only reuse name ID 2 or 17 if they are at the default location across all axes (#3831).
+- [varLib] Create a dflt LangSys in a ScriptRecord when adding variations later, to fix an avoidable crash in an edge case (#3838).
+
+4.58.0 (released 2025-05-10)

-
-- NOTE: This is the last scheduled release to support Python 2.7. The upcoming fonttools
-  v4.x series is going to require Python 3.6 or greater.
-- [varLib] Added new ``varLib.instancer`` module for partially instantiating variable
-  fonts. This extends (and will eventually replace) ``varLib.mutator`` module, as
-  it allows to create not just full static instances from a variable font, but also
-  "partial" or "less variable" fonts where some of the axes are dropped or
-  instantiated at a particular value.
-  Also available from the command-line as `fonttools varLib.instancer --help`
-  (#1537, #1628).
-- [cffLib] Added support for ``FDSelect`` format 4 (#1677).
-- [subset] Added support for subsetting ``sbix`` (Apple bitmap color font) table.
-- [t1Lib] Fixed issue parsing ``eexec`` section in Type1 fonts when whitespace
-  characters are interspersed among the trailing zeros (#1676).
-- [cffLib.specializer] Fixed bug in ``programToCommands`` with CFF2 charstrings (#1669).

-----------------------------
-
-- [psCharStrings] In ``encodeFloat`` function, use float's "general format" with
-  8 digits of precision (i.e. ``%8g``) instead of ``str()``. This works around

-  ``setupNameTable`` method to optionally disable Macintosh or Windows names.
-  (#1359, #1431).
-- [varLib] Make ``build`` optionally accept a ``DesignSpaceDocument`` object,
-  instead of a designspace file path. The caller can now set the ``font``

-  attributes are missing in designspace ``<rule>`` (#1366).
-- [setup.py] Added ``[plot]`` to extras, to optionally install ``matplotlib``,
-  needed to use the ``fonTools.varLib.plot`` module.
-- [varLib] Take total bounding box into account when resolving model (7ee81c8).
-  If multiple axes have the same range ratio, cut across both (62003f4).
-- [subset] Don't error if ``STAT`` has no ``AxisValue`` tables.
-- [fontBuilder] Added a new submodule which contains a ``FontBuilder`` wrapper
-  class around ``TTFont`` that makes it easier to create a working TTF or OTF

-  change in future versions.
-
-3.31.0 (released 2018-10-21)
-----------------------------

-  To use the new ``fontTools.ufoLib`` module you need to install fonttools
-  with the ``[ufo]`` extra, or you can manually install the required additional
-  dependencies (cf. README.rst).
-- [morx] Support AAT action type to insert glyphs and clean up compilation
-  of AAT action tables (4a1871f, 2011ccf).

-- [ttLib] Added support for decompiling/compiling ``TS1C`` tables containing
-  VTT sources for ``cvar`` variation table (#1310).
-- [varLib] Use ``fontTools.designspaceLib`` to read DesignSpaceDocument. The

-  required in order to build a variable font (#1224, #1313).
-- [varLib] Implemented building GSUB FeatureVariations table from the ``rules``
-  element of DesignSpace document (#1240, #713, #1314).
-- [subset] Added ``--no-layout-closure`` option to not expand the subset with
-  the glyphs produced by OpenType layout features. Instead, OpenType features
-  will be subset to only rules that are relevant to the otherwise-specified
-  glyph set (#43, #1121).
-
-3.29.1 (released 2018-09-10)
-----------------------------
-
-- [feaLib] Fixed issue whereby lookups from DFLT/dflt were not included in the
-  DFLT/non-dflt language systems (#1307).

-  (``'*'``) (#1303).
-
-3.29.0 (released 2018-07-26)
-----------------------------
-
-- [feaLib] In the OTL table builder, when the ``name`` table is excluded
-  from the list of tables to be build, skip compiling ``featureNames`` blocks,
-  as the records referenced in ``FeatureParams`` table don't exist (68951b7).
-- [otBase] Try ``ExtensionLookup`` if other offset-overflow methods fail
-  (05f95f0).
-- [feaLib] Added support for explicit ``subtable;`` break statements in
-  PairPos lookups; previously these were ignored (#1279, #1300, #1302).
-- [cffLib.specializer] Make sure the stack depth does not exceed maxstack - 1,
-  so that a subroutinizer can insert subroutine calls (#1301,
-  https://github.com/googlei18n/ufo2ft/issues/266).
-- [otTables] Added support for fixing offset overflow errors occurring inside
-  ``MarkBasePos`` subtables (#1297).
-- [subset] Write the default output file extension based on ``--flavor`` option,
-  or the value of ``TTFont.sfntVersion`` (d7ac0ad).
-- [unicodedata] Updated Blocks, Scripts and ScriptExtensions for Unicode 11
-  (452c85e).
-- [xmlWriter] Added context manager to XMLWriter class to autoclose file

-
-3.28.0 (released 2018-06-19)
-----------------------------
-
-- [featureVars] Added experimental module to build ``FeatureVariations``
-  tables. Still needs to be hooked up to ``varLib.build`` (#1240).
-- [fixedTools] Added ``otRound`` to round floats to nearest integer towards
-  positive Infinity. This is now used where we deal with visual data like X/Y
-  coordinates, advance widths/heights, variation deltas, and similar (#1274,
-  #1248).
-- [subset] Improved GSUB closure memoize algorithm.
-- [varLib.models] Fixed regression in model resolution (180124, #1269).
-- [feaLib.ast] Fixed error when converting ``SubtableStatement`` to string
-  (#1275).
-- [varLib.mutator] Set ``OS/2.usWeightClass`` and ``usWidthClass``, and
-  ``post.italicAngle`` based on the 'wght', 'wdth' and 'slnt' axis values
-  (#1276, #1264).
-- [py23/loggingTools] Don't automatically set ``logging.lastResort`` handler
-  on py27. Moved ``LastResortLogger`` to the ``loggingTools`` module (#1277).
-
-3.27.1 (released 2018-06-11)
-----------------------------
-
-- [ttGlyphPen] Issue a warning and skip building non-existing components
-  (https://github.com/googlei18n/fontmake/issues/411).

-
-3.27.0 (released 2018-06-11)
-----------------------------
-
-- [designspaceLib] Added new ``conditionSet`` element to ``rule`` element in
-  designspace document. Bumped ``format`` attribute to ``4.0`` (previously,
-  it was formatted as an integer). Removed ``checkDefault``, ``checkAxes``
-  methods, and any kind of guessing about the axes when the ``<axes>`` element
-  is missing. The default master is expected at the intersection of all default
-  values for each axis (#1254, #1255, #1267).
-- [cffLib] Fixed issues when compiling CFF2 or converting from CFF when the
-  font has an FDArray (#1211, #1271).
-- [varLib] Avoid attempting to build ``cvar`` table when ``glyf`` table is not
-  present, as is the case for CFF2 fonts.
-- [subset] Handle None coverages in MarkGlyphSets; revert commit 02616ab that
-  sets empty Coverage tables in MarkGlyphSets to None, to make OTS happy.

-- [otBase] Fixed sharing of tables referred to by different offset sizes
-  (795f2f9).
-- [subset] Don't drop a GDEF that only has VarStore (fc819d6). Set to None
-  empty Coverage tables in MarkGlyphSets (02616ab).

-  (#1234). Added ``kind`` argument to T1Font constructor (c5c161c).
-- [ttLib] Added context manager API to ``TTFont`` class, so it can be used in
-  ``with`` statements to auto-close the file when exiting the context (#1232).
-
-3.25.0 (released 2018-04-03)
-----------------------------
-
-- [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 (42bef17, a523a697,
-  https://github.com/googlei18n/fontmake/issues/264).
-- [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 (2ef60fa).
-- [otTables] Fixed IndexError while pruning of HVAR pre-write (6b6c34a).
-- [varLib.models] Convert delta array to floats if values overflows signed
-  short integer (0055f94).
-
-3.24.2 (released 2018-03-26)
-----------------------------
-
-- [otBase] Don't fail during ``ValueRecord`` copy if src has more items.
-  We drop hinting in the subsetter by simply changing ValueFormat, without
-  cleaning up the actual ValueRecords. This was causing assertion error if
-  a variable font was subsetted without hinting and then passed directly to
-  the mutator for instantiation without first it saving to disk.
-
-3.24.1 (released 2018-03-06)
-----------------------------
-

-  picking up ``ValueRecord`` ``Device`` objects (54fd71f).
-- [feaLib/voltLib] In all AST elements, the ``location`` is no longer a

-----------------------------
-
-- [unicodedata] Addded new module ``fontTools.unicodedata`` which exports the

-  NOTE: this change invalidates all the TTX files containing CFF2 tables
-  that where dumped with previous verisons of fonttools.
-  CFF2 Subr items can have values on the stack after the last operator, thus
-  a ``CFF2Subr`` class was added to accommodate this (#1091).

-
-3.2.0 (released 2016-11-02)
----------------------------
-
--  [varLib] Improve support for OpenType 1.8 Variable Fonts:

--  Partial support for loading MutatorMath .designspace files with
-   varLib.designspace module
--  Add varLib.models with Variation fonts interpolation models
--  Implement GSUB/GPOS FeatureVariations
--  Initial support for interpolating and merging OpenType Layout tables
-   (see ``varLib.interpolate_layout`` and ``varLib.merger`` modules)
--  [API change] Change version to be an integer instead of a float in
-   XML output for GSUB, GPOS, GDEF, MATH, BASE, JSTF, HVAR, VVAR, feat,
-   hhea and vhea tables. Scripts that set the Version for those to 1.0
-   or other float values also need fixing. A warning is emitted when
-   code or XML needs fix.
--  several bug fixes to the cffLib module, contributed by Adobe's
-   @readroberts
--  The XML output for CFF table now has a 'major' and 'minor' elements
-   for specifying whether it's version 1.0 or 2.0 (support for CFF2 is
-   coming soon)
--  [setup.py] remove undocumented/deprecated ``extra_path`` Distutils
-   argument. This means that we no longer create a "FontTools" subfolder
-   in site-packages containing the actual fontTools package, as well as
-   the standalone xmlWriter and sstruct modules. The latter modules are
-   also deprecated, and scheduled for removal in upcoming releases.
-   Please change your import statements to point to from fontTools.misc
-   import xmlWriter and from fontTools.misc import sstruct.
--  [scripts] Add a 'fonttools' command-line tool that simply runs
-   ``fontTools.*`` sub-modules: e.g. ``fonttools ttx``,
-   ``fonttools subset``, etc.
--  [hmtx/vmts] Read advance width/heights as unsigned short (uint16);
-   automatically round float values to integers.
--  [ttLib/xmlWriter] add 'newlinestr=None' keyword argument to
-   ``TTFont.saveXML`` for overriding os-specific line endings (passed on
-   to ``XMLWriter`` instances).
--  [versioning] Use versioneer instead of ``setuptools_scm`` to
-   dynamically load version info from a git checkout at import time.
--  [feaLib] Support backslash-prefixed glyph names.
-

--  [ttLib.tables] Implement 'meta' and 'trak' tables.
--  [ttx] Add --flavor option for compiling to 'woff' or 'woff2'; add
-   ``--with-zopfli`` option to use Zopfli to compress WOFF 1.0 fonts.
--  [subset] Support subsetting 'COLR'/'CPAL' and 'CBDT'/'CBLC' color
-   fonts tables, and 'gvar' table for variation fonts.
--  [Snippets] Add ``symfont.py``, for symbolic font statistics analysis;
-   interpolatable.py, a preliminary script for detecting interpolation
-   errors; ``{merge,dump}_woff_metadata.py``.

-
--  TrueType Collection (TTC) support
--  Python 2.6 support
--  Update Unicode data to 5.2.0
--  Couple of bug fixes
-
-2.2 (released 2008-05-18)
--------------------------
-
--  ClearType support
--  cmap format 1 support
--  PFA font support
--  Switched from Numeric to numpy
--  Update Unicode data to 5.1.0
--  Update AGLFN data to 1.6
--  Many bug fixes
-
-2.1 (released 2008-01-28)
--------------------------
-
--  Many years worth of fixes and features
-
-2.0b2 (released 2002-??-??)
----------------------------
-
--  Be "forgiving" when interpreting the maxp table version field:
-   interpret any value as 1.0 if it's not 0.5. Fixes dumping of these
-   GPL fonts: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/pds.cgi?ports/chinese/wangttf
--  Fixed ttx -l: it turned out this part of the code didn't work with
-   Python 2.2.1 and earlier. My bad to do most of my testing with a
-   different version than I shipped TTX with :-(
--  Fixed bug in ClassDef format 1 subtable (Andreas Seidel bumped into
-   this one).
-
-2.0b1 (released 2002-09-10)
----------------------------
-
--  Fixed embarrassing bug: the master checksum in the head table is now
-   calculated correctly even on little-endian platforms (such as Intel).
--  Made the cmap format 4 compiler smarter: the binary data it creates
-   is now more or less as compact as possible. TTX now makes more
-   compact data than in any shipping font I've tested it with.
--  Dump glyph names as a separate "GlyphOrder" pseudo table as opposed
-   to as part of the glyf table (obviously needed for CFF-OTF's).
--  Added proper support for the CFF table.
--  Don't barf on empty tables (questionable, but "there are font out
-   there...")
--  When writing TT glyf data, align glyphs on 4-byte boundaries. This
-   seems to be the current recommendation by MS. Also: don't barf on
-   fonts which are already 4-byte aligned.
--  Windows installer contributed bu Adam Twardoch! Yay!
--  Changed the command line interface again, now by creating one new
-   tool replacing the old ones: ttx It dumps and compiles, depending on
-   input file types. The options have changed somewhat.
--  The -d option is back (output dir)
--  ttcompile's -i options is now called -m (as in "merge"), to avoid
-   clash with dump's -i.
--  The -s option ("split tables") no longer creates a directory, but
-   instead outputs a small .ttx file containing references to the
-   individual table files. This is not a true link, it's a simple file
-   name, and the referenced file should be in the same directory so
-   ttcompile can find them.
--  compile no longer accepts a directory as input argument. Instead it
-   can parse the new "mini-ttx" format as output by "ttx -s".
--  all arguments are input files
--  Renamed the command line programs and moved them to the Tools
-   subdirectory. They are now installed by the setup.py install script.
--  Added OpenType support. BASE, GDEF, GPOS, GSUB and JSTF are (almost)
-   fully supported. The XML output is not yet final, as I'm still
-   considering to output certain subtables in a more human-friendly
-   manner.
--  Fixed 'kern' table to correctly accept subtables it doesn't know
-   about, as well as interpreting Apple's definition of the 'kern' table
-   headers correctly.
--  Fixed bug where glyphnames were not calculated from 'cmap' if it was
-   (one of the) first tables to be decompiled. More specifically: it
-   cmap was the first to ask for a glyphID -> glyphName mapping.
--  Switched XML parsers: use expat instead of xmlproc. Should be faster.
--  Removed my UnicodeString object: I now require Python 2.0 or up,
-   which has unicode support built in.
--  Removed assert in glyf table: redundant data at the end of the table
-   is now ignored instead of raising an error. Should become a warning.
--  Fixed bug in hmtx/vmtx code that only occured if all advances were
-   equal.
--  Fixed subtle bug in TT instruction disassembler.
--  Couple of fixes to the 'post' table.
--  Updated OS/2 table to latest spec.
-
-1.0b1 (released 2001-08-10)
----------------------------
-
--  Reorganized the command line interface for ttDump.py and
-   ttCompile.py, they now behave more like "normal" command line tool,
-   in that they accept multiple input files for batch processing.
--  ttDump.py and ttCompile.py don't silently override files anymore, but
-   ask before doing so. Can be overridden by -f.
--  Added -d option to both ttDump.py and ttCompile.py.
--  Installation is now done with distutils. (Needs work for environments
-   without compilers.)
--  Updated installation instructions.
--  Added some workarounds so as to handle certain buggy fonts more
-   gracefully.
--  Updated Unicode table to Unicode 3.0 (Thanks Antoine!)
--  Included a Python script by Adam Twardoch that adds some useful stuff
-   to the Windows registry.
--  Moved the project to SourceForge.
-
-1.0a6 (released 2000-03-15)
----------------------------
-
--  Big reorganization: made ttLib a subpackage of the new fontTools
-   package, changed several module names. Called the entire suite
-   "FontTools"
--  Added several submodules to fontTools, some new, some older.
--  Added experimental CFF/GPOS/GSUB support to ttLib, read-only (but XML
-   dumping of GPOS/GSUB is for now disabled)
--  Fixed hdmx endian bug
--  Added -b option to ttCompile.py, it disables recalculation of
-   bounding boxes, as requested by Werner Lemberg.
--  Renamed tt2xml.pt to ttDump.py and xml2tt.py to ttCompile.py
--  Use ".ttx" as file extension instead of ".xml".
--  TTX is now the name of the XML-based *format* for TT fonts, and not
-   just an application.
-
-1.0a5
------
-
-Never released
-
--  More tables supported: hdmx, vhea, vmtx
-
-1.0a3 & 1.0a4
--------------
-
-Never released
-
--  fixed most portability issues
--  retracted the "Euro_or_currency" change from 1.0a2: it was
-   nonsense!
-
-1.0a2 (released 1999-05-02)
----------------------------
-
--  binary release for MacOS
--  genenates full FOND resources: including width table, PS font name
-   info and kern table if applicable.
--  added cmap format 4 support. Extra: dumps Unicode char names as XML
-   comments!
--  added cmap format 6 support
--  now accepts true type files starting with "true" (instead of just
-   0x00010000 and "OTTO")
--  'glyf' table support is now complete: I added support for composite
-   scale, xy-scale and two-by-two for the 'glyf' table. For now,
-   component offset scale behaviour defaults to Apple-style. This only
-   affects the (re)calculation of the glyph bounding box.
--  changed "Euro" to "Euro_or_currency" in the Standard Apple Glyph
-   order list, since we cannot tell from the 'post' table which is
-   meant. I should probably doublecheck with a Unicode encoding if
-   available. (This does not affect the output!)
-
-Fixed bugs: - 'hhea' table is now recalculated correctly - fixed wrong
-assumption about sfnt resource names
-
-1.0a1 (released 1999-04-27)
----------------------------
-
--  initial binary release for MacOS
