The ability to split and join fonts?
That's the only part I can think of that's not included in the new API, unless I missed something.
I don't really think we need it though.

Anyone is, of course, free to make their own addons for A5 as well.
Which reminds me: did we ever get round to figuring out how to make a "drop-in" build system, that people can just drop their own addons into and they'll get built automatically? I think that was a stated goal many years ago.

I suggest that this is probably a good idea to ensure that said bugfixing actually does happen.
I'll see if I can run things on my old iBook to see whether we broke anything silly (not that it's a realistic target for A5 development these days).
