already exist. Updated the copyright year to 2021. Updated the
version to 2.7.
2021-11-28 Scott Pakin <pakin@pakin.org>

* ChangeLog, README, mf2pt1.mp, mf2pt1.pl, mf2pt1.texi:
mf2pt1 no longer generates a UniqueID automatically, only when
instructed to by the user. This change assists with reproducible
builds and is consistent with Adobe's declaration that unique font IDs
are no longer required or even recommended.
The documentation has been modified to reflect updated URLs for a
number of external links and to reference the latest copyright year
(2020) and mf2pt1 version number (2.6).
Thanks to Werner Lemberg for bringing Lilypond's issues with
reproducible builds to my attention.

all occurrences of @ifinfo with @ifnottex so as not to preclude HTML

memory, the --rounding option, and the fact that mf2pt1 now invokes
t1asm and fontforge automatically.
* mf2pt1.pl:

the font.

Renamed $dx[123]m and $dy[123]m to $dx[123]d and $dy[123]d (for
"denominator"). Renamed "precision" to "rounding". Added blank lines
