The following bugs / problem areas in MetaPost 1.100 have been fixed / improved: * TFM file generation was completely broken. * The job name discovery on the commandline has been improved. * Under some (rare) conditions MetaPost forgot to create a log file. * Labels containing char0 were exported to PostScript incorrectly. * On Windows, the DVI file that is the result from the internal call to TeX for btex .. etex lables was not deleted automatically. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Likely causes: * There is no mpost.mem file * It exists but can't be found due to missing mktexlsr * It exists but texmf.cnf can't be found (this happens is the binary is not close enough to its texmf/ tree).
