It's been a while since last release. I'd propose to release 5.3.0 on the 6th of September. It will include some bug fixes, support for BinaryCif and a new mmCIF parser (see #839).

Make sure you commit any contributions that you'd like to see in 5.3.0 before that time.

Question for @JonStargaryen . Should we upgrade the dependency on ciftools-java to latest release 0.5.4?
