v5.3.0b1

Testing automatic deployment via Github CI.

v5.2.0

• Added support for "Axis Mappings" font custom parameter (#618, #568).
• Accept floats in brace layer name definitions (#616).

v5.1.11

Fixed two issues with anchor propagation in composite glyphs (#617, googlefonts/fontmake#682).

1. marks that are in turn composed of other marks (e.g. "shadda_fatha-ar") didn’t receive propagated anchors at all. A solution was already developed in ufo2ft's PropagateAnchorsFilter, so Yanone ported that piece of code over here.
2. ligature anchors (top_1, top_2 etc) weren’t correctly propagated when composed of base glyphs and a mark (e.g. "lam_alefHamzaabove-ar"). To fix that, we now check for marks attached to a named GSComponent.anchor (stored in UFO as Glyph.lib['com.schriftgestaltung.Glyphs.ComponentInfo']), and adjust the named anchor’s position by the component transformation.

v5.1.10

• Decompose background layer components due to tricky reasons, see #610.
• Added a pen and draw and drawPoints methods to Layer, Path and Component classes.

v5.1.9

• Make sure we don't end up with a Designspace with empty axes, even when there is only a single master at default location (googlefonts/fontmake#644).

v5.1.8

Make sure the lastChanged timestamp is not written to the UFO when not wanted ("Disable Last Change" custom font parameter is true).

v5.1.7

• Make sure here that if there is an Axes parameter, we actually really keep axes that are defined in it.
• glyphslib.glyphdata: Handle ligatures with script suffix

v5.1.6

Add support for the "Variable Font Origin" custom parameter (#587). Thanks @chrissimpkins!

v5.1.5

• Update GlyphData.xml to the version found in Glyphs.app 2.6.5-1290
• Use ComponentInfo for a component's alignment, make reading the key more robust.
