Karl Berry provided the new file troff-updmap.map, to be used by the updmap tool in texlive. * Mpost now supports web2c's --output-directory option. * Any warnings about missing fonts and characters are now always written to the terminal as well as to the log. * Now that makempx is a C program, it needed a different install line in build.sh. Also, Olaf Mersmann contributed a patch to recognize 'gmake' in build.sh * Luigi Scarso found some typing errors in the web source that prevented clean weaving of the source. * Stephan Hennig fixed a number of problems in the manual (mpman.tex) and the introduction paper (mpintro.tex). He also wrote new sections on how to preview metapost graphics and on how to use metapost graphics inside other documents. On top of that, the manual is now hypertext-aware, and fixes for a whole series of small problems have been applied. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
