+2.15.2:
+  date: 2021-04-28
+
+  Fixed:
+    core:
+      - Path.shiftAlong takes now an optional second paramter to control
+        the number of steps the path will be divided in per Mm (if it's a curve)
+        default is 25
+        See [#976](https://github.com/freesewing/freesewing/issues/976)
