Notes:

Along with the usual bugfixes, there have been a couple of new features worth calling out:

Added Croatian translation
Added user decompositions
New graphic for the splash/about screen
Images embedded in SFDs are now serialised as PNGs
This is enabled by default, but may be turned off with the 'WritePNGInSFD' option.
A new tag is used to identify this mode; 'Image2', instead of 'Image'
This requires FontForge to be compiled with **libpng** support. If not compiled with libpng, FontForge will revert to the old method of serialising RLE encoded raw images.
As part of an ongoing effort to clean up the code base, there have additionally been multiple build system changes:

--> Python 2 support is deprecated. It is strongly recommended to build with Python 3 support. Python 2 support will be removed in a future release.
Both the Windows and Mac builds are now built with Python 3 instead of Python 2.
The minimum supported version for the Mac build is now MacOS Sierra (10.12)
FontForge no longer uses gnulib
collab support has been removed
--> The build system now expects libuninameslist to be present, and will fail if it is not found. Building without libuninameslist must be explcititly specified using --without-libuninameslist
