This release has four main upgrades:

  1. Arbitrary fractions are now possible! That is, you can still manually enter some common fractions like ¾ or ⅝, but if you turn on the frac OpenType feature, you can also type in fractions like 7/32 or 478/9637. Fractions are slightly large to work well in small text, but if you want fractions that are close to the cap height, you can instead use the OpenType feature afrc with fractions or arbitrary fractions.

  2. Superior & inferior numbers have more-consistent positioning & many small refinements to their outlines.

  3. Dot accents were slightly misaligned in Heavy styles, and this has been fixed.

  4. The Rec Mono for Code fonts have improved metadata which will make them work more consistently on Windows and in various apps. (If you want to customize your own version of Rec Mono for Code, there is now also Recursive Code Config.)

There are other small bug fixes and refinements. Thanks to everyone who helped out by filing thoughtful issues, and special thanks to @benkiel for upgrades to the fraction feature code!
