v1.7.1

• Add z-index attribute support as alternative to style="z-index:..." (#36)
• Fix CSV/SSV/etc. parsing (was crashing since v1.6.0 from bug in 826a1c4 code cleanup)
• Improve maze example
• Improve documentation
• Fix root Makefile somewhat (#26)

v1.7.0

• Full Unicode support in ASCII art files: one "symbol" per Unicode grapheme (as defined by UAX #29), via grapheme-splitter library

v1.6.2

• Add support for __dirname and __filename in .coffee/.js formats
• Errors in .coffee/.js files are now prefixed with correct filename and line numbers
  • Use sourceURL mapping for .js
  • Correctly rewrite line numbers in .coffee errors
• Fix bug with numeric entries in xlsx sheets
• Code cleanup to use fewer static methods

v1.6.1

• Better error message when accidentally returning null from symbol function (js/coffee modes)
• Treat empty returned string (in js/coffee modes) as blank 0-by-0 SVG tile (fixing #30)
• Bug fix embedding of SVG files with root id property accidentally overwriting actual id of symbol

v1.6.0

• Ignore hidden sheets in .xlsx files, making it easy to deprecate sheets (#29). You can override this behavior with --hidden
• Force Unix-style \n newlines for consistent builds across architectures (better Windows support!)
• Upgrade csv-parse and xlsx NPM packages
• Much nicer SVG parse errors/warnings (#21).
• Beginning of exports for module or browser use

v1.5.2

• Detect invalid -j, --tw, --th arguments (#25)

v1.5.1

• Inkscape-generated PDF is now automatically sanitized to remove any /CreationDate, unless --no-sanitize command-line option is specified. This is useful for version control: you can regenerate all your figures and generally not get any diffs if nothing changed.

v1.5.0

• New command-line option -j N or --jobs N runs up to N Inkscape jobs in parallel, similar to make. The default behavior remains running the Inkscape jobs one after the other, but if you want to use your multiple cores/CPUs, you can specify e.g. -j 4 to run up to four Inkscape jobs in parallel. (SVG Tiler occupies another thread, but it's rarely much of a bottleneck, so it doesn't count as a "job" in N.)
• Along the way, I thoroughly tested and cleaned up error handling when running Inkscape. If Inkscape fails, you should now definitely be told about it, running in both sequential and parallel mode.
• Update to CoffeeScript 2. So you can use CS2 features in your .coffee code if you want (and if your Node version supports the output; e.g., if you use await, you should have Node 8+).

v1.4.2

• Fix PDF and PNG generation to workaround an Inkscape bug that causes the ignoring of any symbols that had strange characters (e.g. |) that required percent encoding. The workaround is to replace % encoding to instead use the character $, another allowed (but not specially interpreted) symbol in SVG ids.
• As a consequence, Tetris examples now have black background as intended (properly interpreting space).

v1.4.1

• Support PNG export via the -P / --png command-line option. Uses Inkscape like PDF export.
