Update official version

[gstangl]

This version has already fixed man bugs of 1.4. It is really good already.
Can you update this version officially so we can request an update for Google Fonts?
We use Google Docs and Barlow is our main fonts and we have significant problems that are fixe in 1.5 already.

Hi @gstangl - this is a good meta-issue, thanks for opening it. I agree with you. I can't give you a guarantee on timeline but I think there may be one open issue I should double check (#105) and then I should merge — maybe a month or so, if I am being realistic, I am very overbooked right now on time. Getting it into good shape for the Google Fonts QA gauntlet is a second step, though, I agree with you - let's just get 1.5 merged first. For the time being, I haven't modified the vertical metrics, which I would like to do eventually, but for now, we can keep them the same as Google Fonts for expediency's sake.

That would be great. Thanks!
