The MetaPost team is happy to announce a new release of MetaPost: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MetaPost 1.202 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The standalone distribution package and a win32 binary can be downloaded immediately from http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/metapost/ This release will also be available from CTAN soon, and it will be included in the next TeXLive. The source package should compile normally on all systems that are capable of compiling a modern web2c-based TeX distribution. The win32 binary is intended for texlive or a similar web2c-based installation, this executable will *not* work for miktex. Of course, we welcome any comments (either good or bad) that you may have. Simply replying to this message is fine, but see the bottom of the message for a more formal way to report bugs and feature requests. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What is new in MetaPost version 1.202: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bug fixes: * Fix greypart <numeric> (always returned 0). * Make 'withcolor true' explicitly reset the color model to uninitialized. * Report which mem file can't be found, and use 'plain' instead of PLAIN in the mem search warning messages. * Fix a crash on subsetting of some Type1 fonts because of a temporary buffer overrun. * Correct a crash on SVG text output when the 8th bit is set. * Fix the use (reference) of 8-bit glyphs in SVG mode when prologues:=3. * Fix the output of text strings that reference the character at index 0. * Use ".ps" as file extension for negative charcodes (for backward compatibility). * Metapost sometimes printed "mp_vacuous" instead of "vacuous". * Fix rounding of negative scaled and fraction values. * Restore the error for 'arctime' out-of-bounds. * Moved the "turningnumber algorithms do not agree" message out of reach (now only printed if tracingchoices>2 ) * Fix a problem with dash scaling during picture copying. * TFM header bytes were written out with an offset of one. * Updated the mptrap files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Legal notice / license / bug reports ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MetaPost is a system for producing graphics developed by John Hobby at AT&T, based on Donald Knuth's Metafont.
