One rule for each release, the newest on the baseline.
  1. 0.6 current
    • changed Patch notes have a page of their own at /patch-notes, linked from the footer, instead of sitting at the bottom of the landing page.
  2. 0.5
    • added A community page: typefaces drawn in BARE and shared by the people who made them, free to open and download.
    • added Share in the community from the File menu. What you share is a snapshot, and you can take it down at any time.
    • added Every shared typeface has a page of its own — specimen, character set, and TTF, OTF, WOFF and .bare downloads.
    • changed Typefaces are the only thing that can be shared. No text, no comments, no profiles.
    • fixed The starter typeface drew its asterisk as three thick crossing bars, whose outline read as a six-pointed star rather than an asterisk. It has five arms now, and follows the stem weight like every other glyph.
  3. 0.4
    • changed The site name reads BARE in search results instead of the domain it is hosted on.
    • fixed On the Turkish and German pages the site record pointed at the translated landing page instead of the site root.
    • added Patch notes, kept on the landing page.
  4. 0.3
    • added English, Turkish and German across the whole platform — landing, editors, panels and errors.
    • added A language switch on every page, and hreflang links for each translation.
  5. 0.2
    • added Canonical URLs, structured data, a sitemap and robots.txt.
    • added Share image, app icons and a web manifest.
  6. 0.1
    • added Text canvas: freely positioned blocks, named styles, OpenType features, SVG export with real outlines.
    • added Font editor: pen, freehand, rectangle, ellipse and knife, with weight, width, slant and contrast as live parameters.
    • added TTF, OTF and WOFF written byte by byte in this codebase, every build read back and compared against the source.
    • added Accounts, .bare project files, and Bare Sans — 96 glyphs drawn and spaced.
