Hi David,
I've been meaning to reply to your request but the list of things I wanted
to communicate kept growing exponentially and so I have not been able to
say.
But here, from a technical perspective this is my biggest issue, which you
can also see as a roadmap:

Tagging is the easy thing, but doing the release process is tedious,
for which I often lack time and, admittedly, energy.

He talks about the former. Support for OpenType VFs is already part
of FreeType.

Welcome back, David!
If you still enjoy coding the renderers... We need to implement a
color one and deal with FT_Glyph and FT_GlyphSlot insufficiencies for
that. I made some

One thing that's been on my mind is around releasing (and this is a
fairly general observation not specific to FreeType). FreeType has
generally tagged a VER-2-X-X release about once every six months and
hasn't had maintained release branches. Distros (and other users)
generally only update to

My favorite pet issue I never got around to fixing: make stem darkening
for the autohinter be as good as the CFF variant. Also, at least basic
stem darkening for bytecode'd TTFs. Then Qt can go all in on stem
darkening and rendering fonts correctly. And hopefully everyone else.
Also,
Hello freetype-devel@ list members,
It's been a very very long time, but I have some free time in the coming
