### 4.37.1
```
----------------------------
- [subset] Fixed regression introduced with v4.37.0 while subsetting the VarStore of
``HVAR`` and ``VVAR`` tables, whereby an ``AttributeError: subset_varidxes`` was
thrown because an apparently unused import statement (with the side-effect of
dynamically binding that ``subset_varidxes`` method to the VarStore class) had been
accidentally deleted in an unrelated PR (2679, 2773).
- [pens] Added ``cairoPen`` (2678).
- [gvar] Read ``gvar`` more lazily by not parsing all of the ``glyf`` table (2771).
- [ttGlyphSet] Make ``drawPoints(pointPen)`` method work for CFF fonts as well via
adapter pen (2770).
```
### 4.37.0
```
----------------------------
- [varLib.models] Reverted PR 2717 which added support for "narrow tents" in v4.36.0,
as it introduced a regression (2764, 2765). It will be restored in upcoming release
once we found a solution to the bug.
- [cff.specializer] Fixed issue in charstring generalizer with the ``blend`` operator
(2750, 1975).
- [varLib.models] Added support for extrapolation (2757).
- [ttGlyphSet] Ensure the newly added ``_TTVarGlyphSet`` inherits from ``_TTGlyphSet``
to keep backward compatibility with existing API (2762).
- [kern] Allow compiling legacy kern tables with more than 64k entries (d21cfdede).
- [visitor] Added new visitor API to traverse tree of objects and dispatch based
on the attribute type: cf. ``fontTools.misc.visitor`` and ``fontTools.ttLib.ttVisitor``. Added ``fontTools.ttLib.scaleUpem`` module that uses the latter to
change a font's units-per-em and scale all the related fields accordingly (2718,
2755).
```
### 4.36.0
```
----------------------------
- [varLib.models] Use a simpler model that generates narrower "tents" (regions, master
supports) whenever possible: specifically when any two axes that actively "cooperate"
(have masters at non-zero positions for both axes) have a complete set of intermediates.
The simpler algorithm produces fewer overlapping regions and behaves better with
respect to rounding at the peak positions than the generic solver, always matching
intermediate masters exactly, instead of maximally 0.5 units off. This may be useful
when 100% metrics compatibility is desired (2218, 2717).
- [feaLib] Remove warning when about ``GDEF`` not being built when explicitly not
requested; don't build one unconditonally even when not requested (2744, also works
around 2747).
- [ttFont] ``TTFont.getGlyphSet`` method now supports selecting a location that
represents an instance of a variable font (supports both user-scale and normalized
axes coordinates via the ``normalized=False`` parameter). Currently this only works
for TrueType-flavored variable fonts (2738).
