$TEXMF_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY/luamplib_cache
./luamplib_cache
$TEXMFOUTPUT/luamplib_cache
.

2022/01/12 2.23.0
In parellel with the functionality introduced at previous version,
\everymplib (\everyendmplib as well, of course) supports
optional argument of named MetaPost instance, affecting only those
mplibcode environments of the same name.
2022/01/09 2.22.0
* Sergey Slyusarev (@jemmybutton) has suggested and contributed
a new feature for LaTeX mplibcode environment, which now supports
separately named MetaPost instances. Using this feature,
all the variables and functions are shared only among
all the environments belonging to the same instance.
(#99 and #100)
2021/11/23 2.21.1

* emegency patch for context metafun 2021-03-06
2020/12/30 2.20.6
* fix a bug regarding no figure output when luamplib.showlog is
true. (#91)

* '\mpdim' and '\mpcolor' are allowed, even if '\mplibverbatim' is enabled.
2019/03/20 2.20.0
* huge changes, but mostly internal, so apparently not much difference
from previous version.
* '\mplibforcehmode' makes mplibcode typeset in horizontal mode.
'\mplibnoforcehmode' reverts the setting. The latter is default.
* '\mpliblegacybehavior{disable}' triggers a new mode of processing
verbatimtex .. etex: along with btex .. etex, they will be processed
sequentially one by one. Old behavior, being default, can be restored
by declaring '\mpliblegacybehavior{enable}'.
Incidentally, verbatimtex .. etex in MP input files is honored
from this version, save those that contain '\documentclass'
or '\begin{document}' etc, which is totally ignored.

2017/06/02 2.12.1
* when \mplibglobaltextext{enable} is declared, metapost variables
containing btex ... etex labels can be inherited across code chunks.
Of course, \mplibcodeinherit should also be switched on.
2016/03/31 2.11.3
* fix a bug regarding nested mplibcode environments (issue #63)
2016/01/02 2.11.2
* updates for luatex 0.87
2015/10/02 2.11.1
* adapts to latex 2015/10/01 and luatexbase v1.0
* allows `btex ... etex' and `verbatimtex ... etex' even when
`\mplibverbatim{enable}' is declared.
2015/08/01 2.11.0
* after `\mplibverbatim{enable}', contents of mplibcode environment
will be read verbatim. So `btex ... etex', `verbatimtex ... etex',
`\mpdim', `\mpcolor' are not allowed and all TeX commands will be
fed literally into mplib library.
* allow access to type1 fonts, which means we can use glyph
operator now (luatex rev 5266)
* color transparency is now compatible with pgf package and
beamer class as well. (luatex 0.80+ is recommended)
2015/03/26 2.10.1
* fix bug #55 regarding hash token
2015/03/20 2.10.0

* fix a bug reported by Herbert Schulz via luatex mailing list
(http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2015-January/005054.html)
2015/01/05 2.9.0
* after declaring `\mplibcodeinherit{enable}', each mplib code chunks
will inherit variables/constants/macros defined by previous chunks.
On the contrary, the default value `\mplibcodeinherit{disable}' will
treat each code chunks as an independent instance, never being affected
by other code chunks.
2014/07/04 2.8.1
* support color package on plain tex.
* fix a failure at `btex \% etex'.
2014/06/17 2.8.0
* support color/xcolor/spotcolor packages.

can be used inside mplibcode environment with the command
\mpcolor{}.
2014/04/25 2.7.0
* support DVIPDFMx
* default directory for cache is now '$TEXMFVAR/luamplib_cache'

package v0.7
* [fix] avoid luatex crash under math_mode 'decimal'
2014/03/26 2.6.1
* now luamplib does not disregard 'show' command, even if
'luamplib.showlog' is false. Incidentally, it does not raise
error, but just prints a warning, even if output contains
no figure.
* fix a bug wrt color, which might come to the fore under
math mode 'double' or 'decimal'.
2014/03/08 2.6.0
* new macro \mplibtextextlabel{enable} enables string labels typeset
with textext() instead of infont operator. Every string label
thereafter will be typeset with current TeX font.
* fixed a bug wrt btex ... etex parsing (issue #39)
* [doc] added a mention about \MPllx, \MPlly, \MPurx, and \MPury.
2014/03/01 2.5.3
* using \mplibcachedir{}, users can change the
directory for storing cache files. By default, it is the directory
where pdf output file is saved.
* at the end of package loading, luamplib searches 'luamplib.cfg',
and, when found, reads the file in automatically.
2014/02/24 2.5.2
* new macros \mplibmakenocache{...} and \mplibcancelnocache{...} to
register/unregister those .mp files that do not need caches.
These macros affect the compilation speed only.
* added a hack to support graph.mp (in fact, format.mp)
* [fix] luamplib now respects percent sign if it is enclosed by quotes.
2014/02/19 2.5

by luamplib. However, verbatimtex ... etex will be entirely ignored
in this case.
2014/02/02 2.4

changed by declaring \mplibnumbersystem{double}. For details, see
http://github.com/lualatex/luamplib/issues/21
2014/01/20 2.3
* \everymplib, \everyendmplib: macros that redefine token lists
\everymplibtoks and \everyendmplibtoks. These will be
automatically inserted at the beginning and ending (respectively)
of each and every mplib code.
* naked TeX codes, includig \mpdim{...}, are allowed inside
mplibcode environment. Refer the manual of gmp package for
details.
2013/12/30 2.2
* start to support transparency/shading under metafun format.

* fix a bug wrt "withoutcolor" option
* fix a bug wrt "char infont " picture

* verbatimtex ... etex is now just ignored, not raising error
2013/12/11 2.03
