Change Logs

* Wed Apr 15 2020 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Update to version 20200314:
  * 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.
  * Remove overlap handles certain important edge cases better.
  * The Python API now has a function called genericGlyphChange
    that matches the "Change Glyph" command in the GUI. See #4133
    for more details.
  * The Python API now has functions for getting Unicode script and
    for interrogating glyph boundaries.
  * One can now use text flags (rather than just numerical flags)
    when opening a font file via the Python API.
  * UFO import now outputs the note field properly.
  * SVG import is much more robust.
  * 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.
  * 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.
  * Translations now happen on crowdin, which makes contributions
    easier.
  * We got such a contribution for Croatian.
  * Character view point coloring is more consistent, and preview
    fills support transparency.
  * The user can now move and close tabs in the character view.
  * The metrics view now allows for entry of negative kerning
    values and runs a bit more smoothly.
  * There is now a warning when a user is about to discard an
    unsaved script.
  * 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.
  * Fixes use-after-free (heap) in the SFD_GetFontMetaData()
    function and fix NULL pointer dereference in the
    SFDGetSpiros() and SFD_AssignLookups() function(bnc#1160220,
    bnc#1160236, CVE-2020-5395, CVE-2020-5496).
