Fixed call to + ``math.atan2`` with x/y parameters inverted. Sync the code with fontPens (#2344). +- [post] Fixed parsing ``post`` table format 2.0 when it contains extra garbage + at the end of the stringData array (#2314). +- [subset] drop empty features unless 'size' with FeatureParams table (#2324). +- [otlLib] Added ``otlLib.optimize`` module; added GPOS compaction algorithm. + The compaction can be run on existing fonts with ``fonttools otlLib.optimize`` + or using the snippet ``compact_gpos.py``. There's experimental support for + compacting fonts at compilation time using an environment variable, but that + might be removed later (#2326). + +4.24.4 (released 2021-05-25) +---------------------------- + +- [subset/instancer] Fixed ``AttributeError`` when instantiating a VF that + contains GPOS ValueRecords with ``Device`` tables but without the respective + non-Device values (e.g. ``XAdvDevice`` without ``XAdvance``).

This also fixes an ``AttributeError`` while + generating ``aalt`` feature (#2276, #2277). +- [subset] Fixed bug with ``--no-hinting`` implementation for Device tables (#2272, + #2275). The previous code was alwyas dropping Device tables if no-hinting was + requested, but some Device tables (DeltaFormat=0x8000) are also used to encode + variation indices and need to be retained. +- [otBase] Fixed bug in getting the ValueRecordSize when decompiling ``MVAR`` + table with ``lazy=True`` (#2273, #2274). +- [varLib/glyf/gvar] Optimized and simplified ``GlyphCoordinates`` and + ``TupleVariation`` classes, use ``bytearray`` where possible, refactored + phantom-points calculations.
