* NPM packages now include `categories.json` (fixes #187)
* Added `subcategory` property for all emoji (thanks to @ekohilas)
* Switched `sort_order` to be globally unique

## 2021-03-12 : v6.0.1

* Fixes image set versions in the README
* Updated the build steps to not forget that in the future
* Switched `U+1F41E LADY BEETLE` to use `:ladybug:`/`:lady_beetle:` as a short code (`:beetle:` is now used by `U+1FAB2 BEETLE`)
* Codepoint `U+1F46A FAMILY` now only has the shortcode `:family:`, as it is no longer considered gendered (previous also had `:man-woman-boy:`)
