v2.6.2 — Targeted README images

Adds per-feature README images (cornu-spline style), generated by a reproducible Playwright capture script (npm run capture → scripts/capture.mjs):

• bar — the control bar beneath a Fraunces specimen (hero)
• axes — weight x optical-size variation
• features — lining vs oldstyle figures + fractions
• colour — the Nabla colour font in two custom palettes

Images live in assets/ and are referenced via absolute raw URLs (so they render on GitHub and npm).

v2.6.1 — Demo colour pickers + README screenshot

• Demo: separate Text / Background / Controls colour pickers (each maps to --fp-* CSS variables).
• Docs: control-bar hero screenshot added to the README (now reflected on the npm package page).

v2.6.0 — Variable axes + colour fonts

Generalises beyond wght to any font type:

• Variable axes: configure any axis (opsz, slnt, wdth, ital, custom GRAD/SOFT/WONK…) in variable; enable sliders with controls.axes. All compose into one font-variation-settings. opsz also sets font-optical-sizing: none.
• Colour fonts (COLR/CPAL): controls.palette renders a font-palette selector (normal/light/dark or custom --name).
• Honest proofing: synthesis: false → font-synthesis: none (no faux bold/italic).
• Demo: Fraunces optical-size axis + a switcher to Nabla (variable colour font) with Depth/Highlight axes and palettes.
• New types AxisConfig; data-palette/data-synthesis for the declarative API.

v2.5.0 — Deep-review fixes

Resolves a panel-review pass (#40–#45):

• Dedupe font loading so it no longer fires on every slider tick.
• Stop flooding the live region with per-tick slider announcements.
• Strip quotes from fontFamily before use.
• Parse data-show-values; doc fixes (host class, marker).
• Reveal animation no longer snaps when the bar wraps.

v2.4.0 — Font loading + demo polish

• Font loading: the matching face (family/weight/style) is requested via the Font Loading API as you change controls, so toggling italic/weight renders real glyphs instead of a heavier-looking fallback.
• Stage now clips overflow (overflow: hidden).
• Demo: dark/light theming for the page and the specimen + bar, formatted code blocks, removed card margin + rounded corners, looser line-height.

v2.3.0 — Refined bar: borderless, titles-only, blended titles

• Borderless, half-height control bar.
• Each segment shows only its title by default; new showValues option appends the value inline (Size: 96px).
• Titles overlay above the slider (never hidden) and difference-blend against the bar so they stay legible over the fills.
• Difference blend moved from the type sample to the bar titles.
• Demo now uses an expressive variable font (Fraunces).

v2.2.0 — Focus-reveal bar + monochrome + blend

• Control bar now reveals only when the tester is focused (:focus-within) and collapses on blur.
• Black & white default palette.
• New fp--blend preset: mix-blend-mode: difference on the type so it auto-inverts over its backdrop.
• fp--tdf green-on-black preset retained. Demo gains a blend toggle.

v2.1.0 — Signature control bar restored

Brings back the v1 bottom toolbar as a modern, accessible feature.

• A single segmented control bar under the sample: slim at rest (showing each slider's fill), expanding on hover and keyboard focus (:focus-within) to reveal labels and values.
• Built as CSS over the existing native controls, so it keeps full keyboard + screen-reader support (the v1 custom controls had none).
• Per-slider --fp-fill track variable paints the filled portion.
• Themeable via CSS variables (neutral default); faithful TDF green-on-black ships as the .fp--tdf preset.
• Demo gains a theme toggle. New test for the fill variable (38 tests).

v2.0.1 — Lean package + live demo

Packaging-only release.

• npm tarball excludes source maps (62 kB -> 21 kB).
• Added a live demo (GitHub Pages) and a prepublishOnly build guard.

No API or behaviour changes from v2.0.0.

v2.0.0 — Dependency-free rewrite (npm: type-tester-tdf)

First release of `type-tester-tdf` on npm — a ground-up, dependency-free rewrite.

```bash
npm install type-tester-tdf
```

Highlights

• No runtime dependencies (drops jQuery, jQuery UI, BigText).
• Vanilla JS core + data-* auto-init, plus an optional React component (type-tester-tdf/react).
• Composable OpenType features (multiple active at once); spec-accurate labels; ss01–ss20, case/ordn/cpsp.
• Auto-fit via ResizeObserver + rAF debounce + fonts.ready (replaces BigText).
• Safe DOM (no eval, no innerHTML); native accessible controls (range/button[aria-pressed]/select/checkbox panel with focus management).
• Variable-font wght axis support; full destroy() teardown; no global state.
• TypeScript types, ESM + CJS builds, 37 tests, CI.

Review

Closes the full panel review (#2–#37): 2 Critical, 14 Major, 20 Minor findings, all resolved by the rewrite. A second review pass hardened auto-fit (ResizeObserver loop), feature grouping, ids, focus handling, and ARIA state.

The legacy v1 source is preserved at the v1.0.0 tag.
