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.

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
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
