v6.0.0b3

• Same as v6.0.0b2, but with a fix to Continuous Deployment

v6.0.0b2

• Export COLR font layers to UFO (#716)
• Optionally, only export UFO layers needed for font compilation (#674, #722)
• Support FontLab 7 Glyphs export format (#719)
• Several fixes to the open corners filter (#711, #721)
• Fixes to saving files in Glyphs 3 format (#706)
• Allow reading sample text (#708), GASP table (#709) and vendor ID (#707)
  from Glyphs 3 fonts
• Various housekeeping fixes (#704, #705, #720)

v6.0.0b1

• Implement "Link Metrics ..." custom parameters (#641)
• Check that vert{Width,Origin} are not None, can be 0 (#659)
• Corner case: guard against rogue comments in glyph classes (#660)
• Close open corners with a ufo2ft filter (#663)
• Update GlyphData.xml to commit 0fe81a0 (#665)
• Support hints with target="up" and "down" (#613)
• Store layer names for roundtripping (#664)
• [builder] Respect "Propagate Anchors" custom parameter (#683)
• Support the Glyphs 3 file format and use openstep-plist for parsing (#691)

v5.3.2

• Apply master custom params after writing master UFO features
• Roundtrip bracket glyph kerning
• Better error message for when decomposing backgrounds hits non-existant glyph

v5.3.1

Make sure that detaching bracket glyphs get their own production name.
This avoids spurious public.postscriptNames overwrites on roundtrips.

v5.3.0

• Fix infinite loop in GSPath.segments (#621)
• Fix applyTransform for paths (#625)
• Fix out-of-order array access in bezierminmax (#627)
• Improve vertical typesetting (#629)
• Fix problem where axis with no mappings was erroring out during roundtrip (#630)
• Use Proxy for GSFont.features/featurePrefixes (#632)
• Improve compatibility with Glyphs: Make GSNode.position settable with a tuple. (#644)
• ufo2glyphs: Make really sure to preserve the Designspace axis order (#649)

CI is now done via GitHub Actions, thanks to Simon & Cosimo.

v5.3.0b1

Testing automatic deployment via Github CI.

v5.2.0

• Added support for "Axis Mappings" font custom parameter (#618, #568).
• Accept floats in brace layer name definitions (#616).

v5.1.11

Fixed two issues with anchor propagation in composite glyphs (#617, googlefonts/fontmake#682).

1. marks that are in turn composed of other marks (e.g. "shadda_fatha-ar") didn’t receive propagated anchors at all. A solution was already developed in ufo2ft's PropagateAnchorsFilter, so Yanone ported that piece of code over here.
2. ligature anchors (top_1, top_2 etc) weren’t correctly propagated when composed of base glyphs and a mark (e.g. "lam_alefHamzaabove-ar"). To fix that, we now check for marks attached to a named GSComponent.anchor (stored in UFO as Glyph.lib['com.schriftgestaltung.Glyphs.ComponentInfo']), and adjust the named anchor’s position by the component transformation.

v5.1.10

• Decompose background layer components due to tricky reasons, see #610.
• Added a pen and draw and drawPoints methods to Layer, Path and Component classes.
