 4.55.6 (released 2025-01-24)
 ----------------------------
 
@@ -2019,1383 +2030,4 @@ Minor release to fix uploading wheels to PyPI.
 - [cffLib] Make sure glyph names are unique (#1699).
 - [feaLib] Fix feature parser to correctly handle octal numbers (#1700).
 
-3.44.0 (released 2019-08-02)
-----------------------------
-
-- 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).
-
-3.43.2 (released 2019-07-10)
-----------------------------
-
-- [featureVars] Fixed region-merging code on python3 (#1659).
-- [varLib.cff] Fixed merging of sparse PrivateDict items (#1653).
-
-3.43.1 (released 2019-06-19)
-----------------------------
-
-- [subset] Fixed regression when passing ``--flavor=woff2`` option with an input font
-  that was already compressed as WOFF 1.0 (#1650).
-
-3.43.0 (released 2019-06-18)
-----------------------------
-
-- [woff2] Added support for compressing/decompressing WOFF2 fonts with non-transformed
-  ``glyf`` and ``loca`` tables, as well as with transformed ``hmtx`` table.
-  Removed ``Snippets/woff2_compress.py`` and ``Snippets/woff2_decompress.py`` scripts,
-  and replaced them with a new console entry point ``fonttools ttLib.woff2``
-  that provides two sub-commands ``compress`` and ``decompress``.
-- [varLib.cff] Fixed bug when merging CFF2 ``PrivateDicts``. The ``PrivateDict``
-  data from the first region font was incorrecty used for all subsequent fonts.
-  The bug would only affect variable CFF2 fonts with hinting (#1643, #1644).
-  Also, fixed a merging bug when VF masters have no blends or marking glyphs (#1632,
-  #1642).
-- [loggingTools] Removed unused backport of ``LastResortLogger`` class.
-- [subset] Gracefully handle partial MATH table (#1635).
-- [featureVars] Avoid duplicate references to ``rvrn`` feature record in
-  ``DefaultLangSys`` tables when calling ``addFeatureVariations`` on a font that
-  does not already have a ``GSUB`` table (aa8a5bc6).
-- [varLib] Fixed merging of class-based kerning. Before, the process could introduce
-  rogue kerning values and variations for random classes against class zero (everything
-  not otherwise classed).
-- [varLib] Fixed merging GPOS tables from master fonts with different number of
-  ``SinglePos`` subtables (#1621, #1641).
-- [unicodedata] Updated Blocks, Scripts and ScriptExtensions to Unicode 12.1.
-
-3.42.0 (released 2019-05-28)

-----------------------------
-
-- [psCharStrings] In ``encodeFloat`` function, use float's "general format" with
-  8 digits of precision (i.e. ``%8g``) instead of ``str()``. This works around
-  a macOS rendering issue when real numbers in CFF table are too long, and

-  and 3.x (#1430, googlei18n/ufo2ft#306).
-- [_n_a_m_e/fontBuilder] Make ``_n_a_m_e_table.addMultilingualName`` also add
-  Macintosh (platformID=1) names by default. Added options to ``FontBuilder``
-  ``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``

-----------------------------
-
-- [varLib] Work around macOS rendering issue for composites without gvar entry (#1381).
-
-3.34.0 (released 2018-12-14)
-----------------------------
-
-- [varLib] Support generation of CFF2 variable fonts. ``model.reorderMasters()``

-  variations (#1400).
-- [cffLib, subset] Code clean-up and fixing related to CFF2 support.
-- [ttLib.tables.ttProgram] Use raw strings for regex patterns (#1389).
-- [fontbuilder] Initial support for building CFF2 fonts. Set CFF's
-  ``FontMatrix`` automatically from unitsPerEm.
-- [plistLib] Accept the more general ``collections.Mapping`` instead of the
-  specific ``dict`` class to support custom data classes that should serialize
-  to dictionaries.
-
-3.33.0 (released 2018-11-30)
-----------------------------
-- [subset] subsetter bug fix with variable fonts.
-- [varLib.featureVar] Improve FeatureVariations generation with many rules.
-- [varLib] Enable sparse masters when building variable fonts:
-  https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/pull/1368#issuecomment-437257368

-  instance.
-- [ttLib] Ignore the length of kern table subtable format 0
-
-3.32.0 (released 2018-11-01)
-----------------------------
-
-- [ufoLib] Make ``UFOWriter`` a subclass of ``UFOReader``, and use mixins
-  for shared methods (#1344).
-- [featureVars] Fixed normalization error when a condition's minimum/maximum
-  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
-  font from scratch with code. NOTE: the API is still experimental and may
-  change in future versions.
-
-3.31.0 (released 2018-10-21)
-----------------------------
-
-- [ufoLib] Merged the `ufoLib <https://github.com/unified-font-objects/ufoLib>`__
-  master branch into a new ``fontTools.ufoLib`` package (#1335, #1095).
-  Moved ``ufoLib.pointPen`` module to ``fontTools.pens.pointPen``.
-  Moved ``ufoLib.etree`` module to ``fontTools.misc.etree``.
-  Moved ``ufoLib.plistlib`` module to ``fontTools.misc.plistlib``.
-  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).
-- [subset] The ``--no-hinting`` on a CFF font now also drops the optional
-  hinting keys in Private dict: ``ForceBold``, ``LanguageGroup``, and
-  ``ExpansionFactor`` (#1322).

-  (#1318).
-- [ttx] Expose the previously reserved bit flag ``OVERLAP_SIMPLE`` of
-  glyf table's contour points in the TTX dump. This is used in some
-  implementations to specify a non-zero fill with overlapping contours (#1316).
-- [ttLib] Added support for decompiling/compiling ``TS1C`` tables containing
-  VTT sources for ``cvar`` variation table (#1310).
-- [varLib] Use ``fontTools.designspaceLib`` to read DesignSpaceDocument. The

-  in future versions. The presence of an explicit ``axes`` element is now
-  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).
-- [graphite] Fixed issue on big-endian architectures (e.g. ppc64) (#1311).
-- [subset] Added ``--layout-scripts`` option to add/exclude set of OpenType
-  layout scripts that will be preserved. By default all scripts are retained
-  (``'*'``) (#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
-  descriptor on exit (#1290).
-- [psCharStrings] Optimize the charstring's bytecode by encoding as integers
-  all float values that have no decimal portion (8d7774a).
-- [ttFont] Fixed missing import of ``TTLibError`` exception (#1285).
-- [feaLib] Allow any languages other than ``dflt`` under ``DFLT`` script
-  (#1278, #1292).
-
-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.

-- [ttFont] Allow to build glyph order from ``maxp.numGlyphs`` when ``post`` or
-  ``cmap`` are missing.
-- [ttFont] Added ``__len__`` method to ``_TTGlyphSet``.
-- [glyf] Ensure ``GlyphCoordinates`` never overflow signed shorts (#1230).

-----------------------------
-
-- [designspace] Added a new optional ``layer`` attribute to the source element,
-  and a corresponding ``layerName`` attribute to the ``SourceDescriptor``
-  object (#1253).

-- [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).
-- [varLib]: Added ``--master-finder`` command-line option (#1249).
-- [varLib.mutator] Prune fvar nameIDs from instance's name table (#1245).
-- [otTables] Allow decompiling bad ClassDef tables with invalid format, with
-  warning (#1236).

-  (#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

-----------------------------
-
-- [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)
-----------------------------
-
-- [varLib] Don't remap the same ``DeviceTable`` twice in VarStore optimizer
-  (#1206).

-  and a ``optimize=True`` keyword argument to ``varLib.build`` function,
-  to optionally disable IUP optimization while building varfonts.
-- [ttCollection] Fixed issue while decompiling ttc with python3 (#1207).
-
-3.24.0 (released 2018-03-01)
-----------------------------
-
-- [ttGlyphPen] Decompose composite glyphs if any components' transform is too
-  large to fit a ``F2Dot14`` value, or clamp transform values that are
-  (almost) equal to +2.0 to make them fit and avoid decomposing (#1200,
-  #1204, #1205).
-- [ttx] Added new ``-g`` option to dump glyphs from the ``glyf`` table
-  splitted as individual ttx files (#153, #1035, #1132, #1202).
-- Copied ``ufoLib.filenames`` module to ``fontTools.misc.filenames``, used
-  for the ttx split-glyphs option (#1202).
-- [feaLib] Added support for ``cvParameters`` blocks in Character Variant
-  feautures ``cv01-cv99`` (#860, #1169).
-- [Snippets] Added ``checksum.py`` script to generate/check SHA1 hash of
-  ttx files (#1197).
-- [varLib.mutator] Fixed issue while instantiating some variable fonts
-  whereby the horizontal advance width computed from ``gvar`` phantom points
-  could turn up to be negative (#1198).
-- [varLib/subset] Fixed issue with subsetting GPOS variation data not
-  picking up ``ValueRecord`` ``Device`` objects (54fd71f).
-- [feaLib/voltLib] In all AST elements, the ``location`` is no longer a
-  required positional argument, but an optional kewyord argument (defaults
-  to ``None``). This will make it easier to construct feature AST from
-  code (#1201).
-
-
-3.23.0 (released 2018-02-26)
-----------------------------
-
-- [designspaceLib] Added an optional ``lib`` element to the designspace as a
-  whole, as well as to the instance elements, to store arbitrary data in a
-  property list dictionary, similar to the UFO's ``lib``. Added an optional
-  ``font`` attribute to the ``SourceDescriptor``, to allow operating on
-  in-memory font objects (#1175).
-- [cffLib] Fixed issue with lazy-loading of attributes when attempting to
-  set the CFF TopDict.Encoding (#1177, #1187).
-- [ttx] Fixed regression introduced in 3.22.0 that affected the split tables
-  ``-s`` option (#1188).
-- [feaLib] Added ``IncludedFeaNotFound`` custom exception subclass, raised
-  when an included feature file cannot be found (#1186).
-- [otTables] Changed ``VarIdxMap`` to use glyph names internally instead of
-  glyph indexes. The old ttx dumps of HVAR/VVAR tables that contain indexes
-  can still be imported (21cbab8, 38a0ffb).
-- [varLib] Implemented VarStore optimizer (#1184).
-- [subset] Implemented pruning of GDEF VarStore, HVAR and MVAR (#1179).

-- [feaLib] Added option to the parser to not resolve ``include`` statements
-  (#1154).
-- [ttLib] Added new ``ttCollection`` module to read/write TrueType and
-  OpenType Collections. Exports a ``TTCollection`` class with a ``fonts``
-  attribute containing a list of ``TTFont`` instances, the methods ``save``
-  and ``saveXML``, plus some list-like methods. The ``importXML`` method is
-  not implemented yet (#17).
-- [unicodeadata] Added ``ot_tag_to_script`` function that converts from
-  OpenType script tag to Unicode script code.
-- Added new ``designspaceLib`` subpackage, originally from Erik Van Blokland's
-  ``designSpaceDocument``: https://github.com/LettError/designSpaceDocument
-  NOTE: this is not yet used internally by varLib, and the API may be subject
-  to changes (#911, #1110, LettError/designSpaceDocument#28).
-- Added new FontTools icon images (8ee7c32).
-- [unicodedata] Added ``script_horizontal_direction`` function that returns

-  fully formatted log message.
-- [sbix] Fixed TypeError when concatenating str and bytes (#1154).
-- [bezierTools] Implemented cusp support and removed ``approximate_fallback``
-  arg in ``calcQuadraticArcLength``. Added ``calcCubicArcLength`` (#1142).

-  returning inconsistent short vs long names. They both return the short four-
-  letter script codes now. Added ``script_name`` and ``script_code`` functions
-  to look up the long human-readable script name from the script code, and
-  viceversa (#1109, #1111).
-

-----------------------------
-
-- [unicodedata] Addded new module ``fontTools.unicodedata`` which exports the
-  same interface as the built-in ``unicodedata`` module, with the addition of
-  a few functions that are missing from the latter, such as ``script``,
-  ``script_extension`` and ``block``. Added a ``MetaTools/buildUCD.py`` script
-  to download and parse data files from the Unicode Character Database and
-  generate python modules containing lists of ranges and property values.
-- [feaLib] Added ``__str__`` method to all ``ast`` elements (delegates to the
-  ``asFea`` method).
-- [feaLib] ``Parser`` constructor now accepts a ``glyphNames`` iterable
-  instead of ``glyphMap`` dict. The latter still works but with a pending
-  deprecation warning (#1104).
-- [bezierTools] Added arc length calculation functions originally from
-  ``pens.perimeterPen`` module (#1101).
-- [varLib] Started generating STAT table (8af4309). Right now it just reflects

-- [py23] Added backports for ``redirect_stdout`` and ``redirect_stderr``
-  context managers (#1097).
-- [Graphite] Fixed some round-trip bugs (#1093).
-

-----------------------------
-
-- [varLib] Try set of used points instead of all points when testing whether to
-  share points between tuples (#1090).
-- [CFF2] Fixed issue with reading/writing PrivateDict BlueValues to TTX file.
-  Read the commit message 8b02b5a and issue #1030 for more details.
-  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).
-- [_k_e_r_n] Fixed compilation of AAT kern version=1.0 tables (#1089, #1094)
-- [ttLib] Added getBestCmap() convenience method to TTFont class and cmap table

-----------------------------
-
-- [t2CharStringPen] Initial support for specialized Type2 path operators:

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

-   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.

--  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
