FontTools Version 1.0 alpha 6 (released March 15 2000)

- Big reorganization: made ttLib a subpackage of the new fontTools package,
  changed several module names. Called the entire suite "FontTools"
- Added several submodules to fontTools, some new, some older.
- Added experimental CFF/GPOS/GSUB support to ttLib, read-only (but XML dumping
  of GPOS/GSUB is for now disabled)
- Fixed hdmx endian bug
- Added -b option to ttCompile.py, it disables recalculation of bounding boxes,
  as requested by Werner Lemberg.
- Renamed tt2xml.pt to ttDump.py and xml2tt.py to ttCompile.py
- Use ".ttx" as file extension instead of ".xml".
- TTX is now the name of the XML-based *format* for TT fonts, and not just
  an application.

Version 1.0 alpha 5 (never released)

- More tables supported: hdmx, vhea, vmtx

Version 1.0 alpha 3 & 4 (never released)

- fixed most portability issues
- retracted the "Euro_or_currency" change from 1.0a2: it was nonsense!

Version 1.0 alpha 2 (released as binary for MacOS, 2 May 1999)

- genenates full FOND resources: including width table, PS
  font name info and kern table if applicable. 
- added cmap format 4 support. Extra: dumps Unicode char names as XML comments! 
- added cmap format 6 support 
- now accepts true type files starting with "true"
  (instead of just 0x00010000 and "OTTO") 
- 'glyf' table support is now complete: I added support for composite scale, 
  xy-scale and two-by-two for the 'glyf' table. For now, component offset scale 
  behaviour defaults to Apple-style. This only affects the (re)calculation of 
  the glyph bounding box. 
- changed "Euro" to "Euro_or_currency" in the Standard Apple Glyph order list, 
  since we cannot tell from the 'post' table which is meant. I should probably 
  doublecheck with a Unicode encoding if available. (This does not affect the 
  output!)

Fixed bugs: 
- 'hhea' table is now recalculated correctly 
- fixed wrong assumption about sfnt resource names

Version 1.0 alpha 1 (27 Apr 1999)

- initial binary release for MacOS
