v3.8.0

• Using the new ufo2ft 3.0.0, the feature writers now generate variable FEA that is compiled once per VF, instead of generating/compiling static features for each master and merge OTL tables with fontTools.varLib (provided that the masters do not have different features.fea). You can disable/force the old behavior by passing --no-variable-features fontmake CLI option (googlefonts/ufo2ft#635).
  This means fontmake now also supports hand-written variable FEA syntax when compiling variable fonts (see adobe-type-tools/afdko#1350).
