ggnewscale 0.5.2.9000

Internals

• Implemented a new method of adding scales that should be faster. Instead of building the whole plot to let ggplot2 discover the default scales, ggnewscale now creates default scales for the new aes. This should lead to performance improvement (#78)

Bugfixes

• Fixes a bug that removed guides in some cases (#72)
