The source package should compile normally on all systems that are capable of compiling a modern web2c-based TeX distribution. The win32 package is intended for texlive or a similar web2c-based installation, and has been tested only with TeXLive 2007. These executables will *not* work for miktex, sorry. 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 version 1.004: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * The picture color component commands misbehaved in 1.003: the current (default) colormodel was not taken into consideration, so all colors had to be explicit for "redpart" etc. to work. (this bug is the one broke the graph.mp package) In 1.004 for "defaulted" colors, the suitable value in the current (default) colormodel is returned without any errors. This change also reverts to silently defaulting a 'black' color when asking for the redpart etc. of an object that cannot be colored at all. * The picture color component commands misbehaved in 1.003 in a different manner also: the defaults for uninitialized CMYK color picture parts were still assuming 'black' was defined as (1,1,1,1) instead of as (0,0,0,1). * The macro Gwithpc_ in the graph.mp package did not work properly with non-rgb colormodel objects. * plain.mp has a new macro, 'colorpart', that returns the color parts of a graphical object within a picture in a form suitable for feeding it back to 'withcolor'. * The latest kpathsea library from TeXLive is included. * There is now a separate manual for the boxes package (mpboxes.pdf). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
