Build changes:

    The minimum supported Python version is now Python 3.6
    Libuninameslist is no longer used or required
    FontForge is now compiled with -Wall by default

fonts: Replace RMD160 checksums with BLAKE2s checksums

SHA512 hashes

fonts: Remove SHA1 hashes for distfiles

fontforge: update to 20201107.

On Wednesday, November 7th, 2000, George W. Williams V first
published a piece of software called PfaEdit that allowed rudimentary
editing of PostScript fonts. It lacked the features and polish of
such prominent products as Fontographer and Font Studio, but it
had one big advantage: it was free.

Twenty years later, Fontographer and FontStudio are gone, and the
whereabouts of George Williams are unknown, but FontForge has grown
into a highly capable and mature product. It supports dozens of
file formats and includes such features as spline stroking, overlap
removal, and Python scripting. And it is still free software. With
over 100,000 users, it is the most widely used typeface design tool
in the world.

It may seem anti-climactic that today's 20th anniversary release
includes no major changes or new features, but it perfectly befits
a product that has evolved carefully and slowly over its entire
lifecycle with almost no breaking changes. Whether for the special
commemorative splash screen or for the countless small improvements
and fixes, we hope that you will try it. It is available, as always,
on the FontForge website <https://fontforge.org/>;.

The entire project team thank you for your support.

fontforge: update to 20200314.

Significant changes include the following.

    FontForge now has much improved stroke expansion functionality. The main change is that it actually works most of the time. New features include support for arbitrary convex nibs and the miter-clip and arc join styles from SVG 2. All functionality is accessible from the Python and native APIs. (By @skef.)
    Remove overlap handles certain important edge cases better. (By @skef and @frank-trampe.)
    The Python API now has a function called genericGlyphChange that matches the "Change Glyph" command in the GUI. See #4133 for more details. (By @skef.)
    The Python API now has functions for getting Unicode script and for interrogating glyph boundaries. (By @ctrlcctrlv.)
    One can now use text flags (rather than just numerical flags) when opening a font file via the Python API. (By @skef.)
    UFO import now outputs the note field properly. (By @skef.)
    SVG import is much more robust. (By @skef.)
    We have dropped most gnulib and autotools logic in favor of CMake, which dramatically simplifies the build system and just as dramatically improves build time. (By @jtanx.)
    As part of the switch to CMake, per the deprecation of Python 2, and per the lack of objections to the proposal on the mailing list, we have dropped support for building FontForge with Python 2 support. The non-build-system Python 2 code remains, but it is neither tested nor maintained nor supported and is likely to follow a trajectory of decay and then removal.
    Documentation is now rendered in Sphinx, which makes maintenance and improvement easier. (By @jtanx.)
    Translations now happen on crowdin, which makes contributions easier. (By @jtanx.)
    We got such a contribution for Croatian. (By @milotype.)
    Character view point coloring is more consistent, and preview fills support transparency. (By @skef.)
    The user can now move and close tabs in the character view. (By @ctrlcctrlv.)
    The metrics view now allows for entry of negative kerning values and runs a bit more smoothly. (By @ctrlcctrlv.)
    There is now a warning when a user is about to discard an unsaved script. (By @ctrlcctrlv.)
    We fixed bugs all over, as always, with particular attention given to the metrics view, Python, Spiro, and high-resolution displays.

Notes on build system changes:

    libgutils and libgunicode have been combined into libfontforge
    libgdraw and libfontforgeexe have been combined into the fontforge executable itself
    No development files are installed (headers, or pkg-config). This is because we do not provide a stable API or ABI to work against, nor are the headers actually well configured to be used externally. We are also not aware of any maintained product that compiles against FontForge itself.

fontforge: python3.8 needs you to use the python3.8-embed pkg-config file.

fontforge: Update to 20190801

Along with the usual bugfixes, there have been a couple of new features worth calling out:

    Added Croatian translation
    Added user decompositions
    New graphic for the splash/about screen
    Images embedded in SFDs are now serialised as PNGs
        This is enabled by default, but may be turned off with the 'WritePNGInSFD' option.
        A new tag is used to identify this mode; 'Image2', instead of 'Image'
        This requires FontForge to be compiled with libpng support. If not compiled with libpng, FontForge will revert to the old method of serialising RLE encoded raw images.

As part of an ongoing effort to clean up the code base, there have additionally been multiple build system changes:

    Python 2 support is deprecated. It is strongly recommended to build with Python 3 support. Python 2 support will be removed in a future release.
    Both the Windows and Mac builds are now built with Python 3 instead of Python 2.
    The minimum supported version for the Mac build is now MacOS Sierra (10.12)
    FontForge no longer uses gnulib
    collab support has been removed
    The build system now expects libuninameslist to be present, and will fail if it is not found. Building without libuninameslist must be explcititly specified using --without-libuninameslist

Fix building on newer macOS

Fix building ObjC code again.

20170731:
This incorporates a large number of adjustments and fixes and adds packages for newer Ubuntu releases.

More fixes for building ObjC code.

This release introduces a new icon set, new functionality for custom icon selection graphics, support for GlyphOrderAndAliasDB files, and support for Unicode 9.0.

It also fixes a number of small bugs relating to certain bitmap typefaces, stroke expansion, handling of CID ranges, and the user interface.

There are two tags and package sets. 20161004 is the original release, and 20161005 adds support for Ubuntu 16.04 and 16.10.

Fix build problem on NetBSD 6.

Changes 20160404:
This fixes a number of bugs and crashes and adds a few small features. Most importantly, this release comes with a working Macintosh package.

don't use msgfmt --check. It breaks with gettext 0.14.1.

Changes 20150824:
This fixes a few bugs, including some in U. F. O. kerning classes and FreeType rasterization, and adds a Korean translation.

SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.

Changes 20120731:
Change log unavailable.

Changes 20110222:
* Did a lot of work to improve the accuracy in remove overlap. Improved
  accuracy means that it is less likely to do the wrong thing. Problems happen
  when there are points or intersections very close to each other.
  (So quadratic glyphs are more likely to have problems than cubics simply
  because they have more points, on average).
* Fix various error messages.
* Remove some obsolete documentation.
* Technical fixes to stroking code.
* Add a miterlimit to stroking code.
* FontForge was using the wrong MIME type for svg files. W3C has changed it and
  it's now "image/svg+xml" not "image/svg-xml" or "image/svg".
* Since Inkscape images tend to be at unexpected y positions, force the view to
  rescale/recenter itself if the result after a paste/import is outside the
  current window. (Inkscape tends to put things at the top of a page, but the
  origin is at the bottom, and FF looks at the origin.
* A line joint of 180 degrees (which shouldn't have happened in stroking, but
  did) caused an infinite loop.
* Typo in add extrema code (again).
* More...

Complete fix for png-1.5.

First part of png-1.5 fix.

Update patches for png-1.5.

-make this pkg work with pkg-1.4.x
 The fix is a hack. There is code to deal with png versions, but it is
 not complete for 1.4.x, and fooled by bl3 wrappers renaming
 the library behind the pkg's back.

Changes 20090408:
* Support composites (references) in bitmap fonts.
* Support for the JSTF table (sfd extension).
* Added a set of new python functions for manipulating CID keyed fonts.
* Added support for reading/writing version 1.8 of Adobe's feature file format.

Changes 20081224:
* Check for a buggy system on Apple 10.5 with X11.
* Fix more memory problems in Merge Fonts.
* If a font were missing a .notdef glyph. If the user tried to display
  a font sample of text which included a character not in the font.
  Then (after the recent patches for grid-fit metrics in Print dlg)
  fontforge would crash.
* Fix a bug in old cubic to quadratic conversion.
* Lots of changes to extrema code.
* Initializing the font info dialog crashed on the mac when -O2 was
  specified during configure (the default situation).
* After adding an Apply button the Transform dlg would crash if invoked
  in a glyph with no undoes.

Changes 20081215:
* Add an X resource editor.
* Make the metrics view be more like the display dlg in that you can specify
  a point-size/dpi to view stuff (also include increment/decrement pointsize).
* Patch by "JustFillBug" to exend python scripting by making the find
  interator become a find/replace iterator.
* Patch by Taco to fix a memory problem reading bad baseline data.
* Patch from Andrey PANOV to extend GlyphInfo (legacy scripting) by adding
  "XProfile" and "YProfile" options.
* Add an [Apply] button to the transform and expand stroke dialogs in
  the outline view.
* Make ff parse preference files independent of the decimal point local in
  which they were written (that is -- accept either "." or "," in floating
  numbers).
* If a Cubic layer had a notdef glyph, then sometimes, rasterizing using
  freetype would fail (not a freetype problem, I didn't set things up right).
* Fix one more problems with points being snapped to a wrong stem side
  (it was still possible in case of off-curve points).
* Metrics View and Display dlg weren't showing grid fit metrics properly.

Changes 20081117:
* First release with Pango and Cairo
* The first time you run fontforge with Pango something takes several minutes
  to initialize itself. This delay does not occur on subsequent invocations.
* Displaying magnified bitmap strikes in the font view often caused a crash.
* Non-English translations of "%d pixel bitmap" in the View menu of the font
  view came out garbled. There were interpreted as latin1 rather than utf8.

Add x11 as an option; fix building on Darwin/MacOSX

Changes 20080720:
* Bug fixes and improvements.

-libxml2 in bl3'd, so it should be used -- help "configure" finding it.
-While the program is prepared to work w/o libxml2 (with some loss of
 functionality), there is a little glitch -- see PR pkg/38446 by
 Keith Waclena. The fix shouldn't be needed for pkgsrc anymore because
 libxml2 should be found now, but add it anyway.

* Bug in the selection iterator.
* Accept contour += (1,2) rather than forcing people to say contour += fontforge.point(1,2)
* Crash when mistyping a glyph name in Glyph Info possub panes. Probably in the equivalent lookup dlgs too.
* If a glyph contained two copies of another glyph, and one of those copies was off by enough that ff didn't recognize it, the depending on how the contours were ordered, ff might fail to recognize the first glyph too, even though it did match.
* Add iterators to contours and layers. Python users seem to expect them even when they aren't documented to exist.
* layer += contour didn't work in python. I was examining a bit through the wrong data type.
* Provide a mechanism for copying lookup information from one glyph to another. (Edit->Copy Lookup Data)
* Loading kerning info from a mac 'FOND' resource was broken by the lookup change.
* Python scripting command font.createChar didn't. Partial patch from Max Rabkin.
* Adding a kerning pair from the metrics view would often add two or three pairs with the same character combination and different values.
* Another remove overlap bug. Introduced recently.
* Reinstate Apply Substitutions scripting command.
* Add some dutch styles.
* Make yet another attempt to correct for rounding errors when loading a postscript font.
* Add a way to get a font's filename to python.
* Werner points out that in scripting I use "break" in an example. It isn't documented to work and I don't implement it but I do show it. Oops. Ok, make it work.
* Display substitutions was broken.
* When generating default names for subtables, it is confusing to name them the same as the lookup.
* Change to using USC4 from UCS2 internally.
* Provide default names for lookups once the user sets the feature.

* Extend to Unicode 4.1
* Context chain dlg had problems with empty patterns (no terminal NUL in empty string used to represent them)
* EditData button in contextual subs disabled at wrong times.
* Transforming by a negative scale factor screwed up the hints.
* Add move up/down buttons to the kerning class dlg (class lists area) Use the selection from the class lists to highlight offsets.
* Print sample did not handle kerning by classes.
* When we had: a glyph which contained refs where that glyph was itself used as a reference in another glyph and all glyphs (except the last) lived in subroutines then we got multiple declarations of hints and the middle glyph was translated from where it should have been.
* When changing lists they should not scroll back to the beginning.
* Various fixes regarding hints: changing hints should set the char changed flag changing a glyph should mark all glyphs that refer to it as having out of date hints display out of date hints in font view. hints weren't being preserved (and should have been) in charview in Paste and transform.
* Apply Substitutions was badly broken when ff compiled with multilayer.
* Kern Pair dlg looked at garbage memory when it closed (and crashed sometimes).
* ff decides whether to add a 'gasp' table to a font based on whether the font has instructions or not. ff's own ttf fonts contain instructions in .notdef but nowhere else, so ignore .notdef when making this check.
* One more attempt to rule out absurd results in simplify().
* if the lsb/rsb dlg was given a negative value it complained about negative widths. (whether the width would have been negative or not).
* $italicangle has been broken since I added reals to scripting.
* The kernclass dialog did not handle deleted classes properly.
* Add ability to undo hints.
* Once again starting a browser on windows is broken.
* We didn't do a bounds check when indexing into the names array of an encoding (when building a character from scratch). If the index was huge the result was garbage, generally leading to a crash sometime thereafter.
* An open path consisting of a single point caused replace with reference to crash.
* Generating a postscript resource font on the mac from a script did not work.
* Werner points out that afm files generated by FontForge still claim to have been made by pfaedit. Oops.
* Didn't parse user defined encodings properly and often omitted the first glyph.

Changes 20050310:
* Deleting a glyph class within a kerning by classes object caused a crash
* Added some support for palm bitmap fonts
* Replace with reference only replaced the first instance.
* The Options dlg behaved oddly with respect to Apple & OpenType modes
* When given a glyph with conflicting hints for which the first contour
  contained no hints, then in type2 output the glyph was drawn at a strange
  offset from its correct position.
* When generating an opentype font from a script, and specifying flags,
  the round coordinates flag was ignored
* When generating a font from a script using the default flag setting,
  we would always generate afm/tfm/pfm files
* KANOU pointed out that the stroked font import glyph command only worked
  if multilayer set.
* Added a preview bitmap to eps files.
* In a bitmap only font the font metrics menu items behaved in unexpected ways
  (as if they referred to a postscript font rather than the bitmap fonts)
* Various fixes to make importing stroked eps files into stroked fonts work
  better.
* KANOU requests a preference item to turn off use of freetype in font view.
* Fix more rounding errors in remove overlap.
* Fix some problems in the routine which finds roots of an arbetrary quartic.
* The remove bump option of simplify could screw up memory.
* Remove overlap got unhappy about control points which caused a very tiny
  overlap between adjacent splines
* Redo from the fontview usually caused a crash.
* KANOU provides a MakeLine scripting command
* If TYPE3 (multilayer) was not enabled, there was a flow of control through
  a function which did not return anything.
* Recovery files did not contain multilayer marks which lead to strange
  behaviour and crashes
* Converting a font to multilayer caused a crash if there were outline glyph
  windows open.
* Make the encoding for scripts be utf8 consistently
* Allow the scripting Export command to take a format spec
* Add support for reals to the scripting language
* NearlyHv{Cps,Lines} scripting commands erroneously complained about
  too many args
* ff had a bug when outputting otf contextual ligatures
* Fix various crashes and infinite loops involved in parsing bad font files.
* ff had problems with user defined encodings.
* Made ff work if the psuedo-type "real" was defined to be a double.
* the string += concattonation operator in scripting screwed up memory
* Problems with -c <arg> syntax
* The font type detector could fail to notice an svg file as such
  if it began with a byte order character.
* Ord didn't do proper type checking on its second argument

Add RMD160 digests to the SHA1 ones.

Changes 9-Feb-2005:
* Use freetype's FT_Outline_Get_Bitmap to make freetype rasterize from our internal data structures. Use freetype by default for the fontview and metricsview (except in some cases).
* The bitmap dlg didn't work for multilayered fonts when told to use freetype to rasterize.
* If we had a contour nested inside another, and did an Overlap Exclude with the nested contour selected, then that contour was not excluded.
* The []Correct Direction check box when importing PostScript, didn't do anything. (or rather it did, but got overrulled later)
* In bitmap only fonts, bitmaps created without moving the width line would get lost.
* Added a scripting command "SelectByColor"
* Don't apply transformations to glyphs which aren't worth outputting
* Moving control points with the get point info command had problems in quadratic splines.
* When adding type42 support I broke multiple master support.
* Werner provided a patch to add a trailing newline to my type1 fonts.
* Support for PaintType==2 and stroked fonts.
* Various problems with the clustering command
* Oops, somehow a patch reverted and things didn't work on systems without iconv
* worked on a couple of other configuration problems for the mac
* Some people install libraries without headers. Be prepared.
* Uniscribe (MS unicode text layout routines) may ignore either the GPOS or the GSUB table depending on the script, and may even refuse to use the font at all if it doesn't have the right stuff in GPOS/GSUB. A Hebrew font must have both a GPOS and a GSUB. If it doesn't the font is not used. A latin font need not have either, but if it doesn't have GSUB then GPOS won't be used.

Changes 20050117:
* CapsLock now makes the arrow keys scroll in the outline view
* We lost count of hints when generating type2 fonts in glyphs with references
  to something containing hints which did not overlap. If we were unlucky,
  <new-cnt+7>/8 was different than <real-cnt+7>/8 and we ended up with garbage
  in the charstring.
* Add a TeX table to contain TeX metrics.
* TFM output was wrong. the TFtoPL doc says "reencoding with original encoding
  could create a glyph table one too small resulting in writing/reading garbage
  and an eventual crash.
* KANOU fixed a couple of problems in reading glyph names from bdf fonts.
* KANOU needed to disambiguate between "Point" a unit of measurement and
  "Point" a geometric object.

Changes 31-Dec-2004:
* Ah, windows pfm files expect the metrics to be output in win latin encoding
  order, not in the encoding defined by the pfb file. (Actually there are other
  posibilities for encoding, but as none is documented, I must ignore them).
* ReplaceWithReference broke at some point
* Add an argument-pair to the ReplaceWithReference() scripting command to allow
  the user to specify the amount of error that will be accepted.
* When generating a Type1 font, if a glyph had a single reference to a glyph not
  in adobe encoding, and that glyph itself had a single reference (in adobe enc)
  and some splines, then ff would make a reference to the ref in adobe enc and
  ignore the splines.
* Upgrade to Adobe-Japan1-6
* Various fixes to svg output
* Ghost hints could get outside a glyphs bounding box in a type2 font.
* The generated truetype unique id string had an off by one error in the month
* Add support for dashed lines in multilayered mode
* In Full Page Glyph printing, the glyph was offset slightly from where it
  should have been.
* Pasting a reference into a multi-layered font produced a very odd layer
* ff didn't update the metrics view if the user pasted the selection with the
  middle mouse button.
* if a character were not in the current encoding then ff would not display it
  in the metrics view (even if it were in the font)
* Make the behavior of control points at the ends of open paths more reasonable
* The Point->Curve command did not adust control points correctly
* The View->Display Substitutions had numerous problems
* Fix several problems from unicode unification of accents. Many characters
  which are said to be based on cedilla actually use a comma, other characters
  said to be carons also use comma. Make the n-with-apostrophe character be
  treated as an accented letter.
* Werner points out that straight lines should generally not be simplified (as
  they will no longer be straight afterwards). Add this knowledge to the
  simplify command.

Renamed from pfaedit

Changes 20041115:
* If ff started without a prefs file, then creating a new font would crash 
* If a copyright string contained a newline then ff would generate bad
  postscript 
* If user added a comment to an empty glyph then the comment wasn't saved in
  the sfd file. 
* If ff saved a utf7 string to an sfd file (ttf names, etc.) and that string
  contained a hyphen that followed immediately after something that needed to
  be encoded in base64, then the hyphen would be lost. 
* new french UI 
* ff was (usually) setting the ascent/descent fields of the 'hhea' table to 0.
  When the font was drawn on the mac it was clipped to nothing.
