Re: SMuFL metadata releases

Dear all, Daniel in particular,

sorry for bothering you with this again, but I really hope for some release strategy regarding the SMuFL specification. As far as I understand, there is a version 1.2, it’s simply not tagged properly?
I know there’s probably a lot of work on your desk but I hope that this could be solved rather easily and would in turn make the SMuFL progress much more visible and documented (for others to build on).

Thanks for all the great work
Peter

For those who are interested, a recent (= built upon https://github.com/w3c/smufl/commit/c20330a858a6297ed5da45491a9c177531190a7c) Docker image can be found at Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/stadlerpeter/smufl-browser/

In other words, I don't think there would be a SMuFL metadata file, but there should be a Bravura metadata file, and a metadata file for each other SMuFL-compliant font that is developed.
