  • ufo2ft >= 2.29.0
  • glyphsLib >= 6.1.0

• Added support for compiling variable COLRv1 fonts (via fontTools.varLib).

Full Changelog: v3.3.0...v3.4.0a1

v3.3.0

• [CompatibilityChecker] Make large error messages more concise (#855).
• Added --no-autohint option to disable ttfautohint even if source has TTFAutohint options custom parameter (#873).

• Added optional support for using the ttfautohint-py python wrapper in place of the ttfautohint C++ executble when available (#851, #562).
