Releases: adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Display_Text
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.

2.14.0 - base_alignment argument for bitmap_label
The new constructor argument base_alignment has been added to bitmap_label. Setting to True will result in the label getting aligned by it's baseline. Helpful if you are trying to line up different sized fonts along the same baseline. Thank you @jposada202020 for this great new feature!

2.12.4 - Scale fix for Blinka_Displayio
This version resolves an issue that led to inconsistent scaling between Blinka_Displayio and core displayio. In previous versions text was scaled extra on Blinka_Displayio. In this release the scale matches across both platforms.
Previously released under wrong tag number. New release bumps the version of the tag to fix PyPi, and fixed a few small typos in comments.
