- update to 20201107:
* This release falls on the 20th anniversary of the first release of
FontForge back in 2000. It brings a wide range of minor tweaks and bug
fixes for the user interface and file format handlers and a special splash
screen to commemorate the big day
- fix-glossary.patch, support-sphinx3.patch: drop (upstream)
- remove get-source.sh: the binaries that needed to be repackaged
are no longer in the upstream release tarball

- Update to version 20200314:
* FontForge now has much improved stroke expansion functionality.
The main change is that it actually works most of the time. New
features include support for arbitrary convex nibs and the
miter-clip and arc join styles from SVG 2. All functionality is
accessible from the Python and native APIs.
* Remove overlap handles certain important edge cases better.
* The Python API now has a function called genericGlyphChange
that matches the "Change Glyph" command in the GUI. See #4133
for more details.
* The Python API now has functions for getting Unicode script and
for interrogating glyph boundaries.
* One can now use text flags (rather than just numerical flags)
when opening a font file via the Python API.
* UFO import now outputs the note field properly.
* SVG import is much more robust.
* We have dropped most gnulib and autotools logic in favor of
CMake, which dramatically simplifies the build system and just
as dramatically improves build time.
* As part of the switch to CMake, per the deprecation of
Python 2, and per the lack of objections to the proposal on
the mailing list, we have dropped support for building
FontForge with Python 2 support. The non-build-system Python 2
code remains, but it is neither tested nor maintained nor
supported and is likely to follow a trajectory of decay and
then removal.
* Documentation is now rendered in Sphinx, which makes
maintenance and improvement easier.
* Translations now happen on crowdin, which makes contributions
easier.
