Re: [fontforge-announce] FontForge April 2019 Release

[Frank T. <fra...@gm...>]

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.
