[fontforge-announce] FontForge April 2019 Release

[T J <jt...@ou...>]

Hi all,

FontForge has been updated to the 2019-04-13 release.

This is mostly a bugfix release on top of the 2019-03-17 release. Most notably, it resolves a crash on MacOS when browsing directories that contain empty files. Plugins support and direct http/ftp integration has also been removed.

The source tarball, MacOS, Linux (AppImage) and Windows binaries are all available from https://fontforge.github.io.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Yes. The build process broke in the midst of other changes. They will be
ready with the next release. Please try the AppImage if that works.

I did not issue notes for the previous release since a new one was imminent
anyway. I am attaching them here.

   - The user interface is now able to use GDK instead of X11, which means
   much smoother operation on Windows and Macintosh.
   - UFO 2 and UFO 3 are now handled as separate formats, which allows us
   to support more of the UFO 3 format. Some workflows may need adjustment as
   a result. See this bulletin
   <http://fontforge.github.io/en-US/bulletins/ufo3_2018_1/> for more
   information.
   - FontForge now tolerates a much wider range of syntax in feature files.
   - FontForge can now import and export WOFF2.
   - FontForge now supports Unicode 12.1.0.
   - The Python interface now allows finer interaction with splines.
