# When will V7 become stable?

It is almost stable now.

As a side project during my weekends, I will release a new beta version to fix the bugs reported or encountered in my daily coding within 1-2 weeks, and do some work on the new website and build tools.

If everything goes well, the stable version will be released later this year.

# Maple Font (WIP)

Open source monospace & nerd font with round corner and ligatures.

Base on `Jetbrains Mono` and **much "Opinioned"**

## Build

### Browser

WIP

### Local

run it in your local machine.

You can change config in `config.json`

Make sure you have `python3` and `pip` installed

- for custom `font-patcher` args, `font-forge` (and maybe `python3-fontforge` as well) is needed
- for `Ubuntu` or `Debian`, maybe `python-is-python3` is needed as well

```shell
pip install foundrytools-cli
python build.py
```

If you have trouble to install the dependencies, just create a new Github codespace on `variable` branch and run the commands there
