- [OS/2 / merge] Automatically recalculate ``OS/2.xAvgCharWidth`` after merging
fonts with ``fontTools.merge`` (#2591, #2538).
- [misc/config] Added ``fontTools.misc.configTools`` module, a generic configuration
system (#2416, #2439).
* Added ``fontTools.config`` module, a fontTools-specific configuration
system using ``configTools`` above.
* Attached a ``Config`` object to ``TTFont``.
system (#2416, #2439).
Added ``fontTools.config`` module, a fontTools-specific configuration
system using ``configTools`` above.
Attached a ``Config`` object to ``TTFont``.
- [otlLib] Replaced environment variable for GPOS compression level with an
equivalent option using the new config system.
- [designspaceLib] Incremented format version to 5.0 (#2436).
* Added discrete axes, variable fonts, STAT information, either design- or
user-space location on instances.
- Added ``fontTools.designspaceLib.split`` module to split a designspace
into sub-spaces that interpolate and that represent the variable fonts
listed in the document.
* Made instance names optional and allow computing them from STAT data instead.
- Added ``fontTools.designspaceLib.statNames`` module.
* Allow instances to have the same location as a previously defined STAT label
* Deprecated some attributes:
- ``SourceDescriptor``: ``copyLib``, ``copyInfo``, ``copyGroups``,
``copyFeatures``.
- ``InstanceDescriptor``: ``kerning``, ``info``; ``glyphs``: use rules or
sparse sources.
- for both, ``location``: use the more explicit designLocation.
- Note: all are soft deprecations and existing code should keep working.
* Updated documentation for Python methods and the XML format.

document.
- [otBase] Try to use the Harfbuzz Repacker for packing GSUB/GPOS tables when
``uharfbuzz`` python bindings are available (#2552). Disable it by setting the
"fontTools.ttLib.tables.otBase:USE_HARFBUZZ_REPACKER" config option to ``False``.
