2.16.0 - Baseline Anchor Point
This version allows you to use my_text.baseline as the y value in the anchor_point to set the anchored_position relative to the baseline. Helpful for lining up fonts of different sizes to look nicely next to each other.
Also included in this version is a new example font file, a small update to one example to use it. Lastly the library code now includes type hints.
