This release is very similar to the prior release, but it improves arbitrary fractions.

For arbitrary fractions activated with the frac or afrc OpenType features, Recursive now swaps between a split fraction bar in Sans styles (MONO < 0.5) and a solid fraction in Mono styles (MONO >= 0.5). This allows the monospaced arbitrary fractions to maintain clear readability while also maintaining the fixed-width grid of monospaced type setting.

Precomposed fractions (¼ ½ ¾ ⅓ ⅔ ⅛ ⅜ ⅝ ⅞) are still single-unit widths in the Mono styles, and can still be added as the relevant unicodes, e.g. via copy-pasting or by selection from a character palette.
