Instructions for using the latest version of opentype.js are wrong #770

Description

@valadaptive

The release notes for v1.3.4 on GitHub say:

While waiting for 2.0.0 to be released, the current master can be used as a github dependency via
npm install "https://github.com/opentypejs/opentype.js.git#master"

However, the dist folder is no longer included in the GitHub repo, so this doesn't work. Instead, I have to build opentype.js myself and vendor it.

Expected Behavior

I should be able to use the latest version of opentype.js in my project, as the response to many bugs seems to be "switch to the latest version".

Current Behavior

It takes an unreasonable amount of effort to actually use the latest version of opentype.js.

Possible Solution

Start including the dist version in the repo again, or publish v2.0.0-alpha[N] versions to npm.
