Hello,
I’m considering switching from Glyphs 2 to Glyphs 3 mid project.
What should I be aware of? Anything breaking? Any tips?
Thanks,
Artur

Just try with a copy of the file.
- You will be put through the automatic alignment dialog once more. Read carefully and decide.
- You have more options for making the file git-aware:
- new saving file format
.glyphsPackage
(equivalent to .glyphs, but splits the data in separate files)
- custom parameters for suppressing last change dates, and tab contents (‘display strings’)
- Do not move your plug-ins and scripts over manually, rather install them all through the Plugin Manager.
- Do update to the latest cutting edge right away. It is nearing the stable release, and is already much better than the current stable version.
- Other than that, explore the new plug-ins and the updates in the UI (like the new Fit Curve palette), and have fun
