- Use `cffsubr` by default for both CFF 1.0 and CFF2 (465). Make `compreffor` an optional requirement (464).
- Added support for ` Automatic Code` special marker comments to allow inserting auto-generated features in specific places of the features.fea, similar to Glyphs.app (458, 482, 351).
- Allow to run ufo2ft filters and featureWriters from the command line, which can be helpful for testing purposes (470, 473).
- Added `loadFilterFromString` function, pass `filters` argument to compile functions and PreProcessor (466, 479, googlefonts/fontmake737).
- Added GDEF feature writer (enabled by default) that generates GlyphClassDefs based on UFO public.openTypeCategories, and also generates ligature caret statements based on "caret_" or "vcaret_" named glyph anchors (480).
