One of these -problems was the test for compress2() (which was incorrect). The second -problem occurs because some make implementations don't honor CPPFLAGS. An -explicit rule has been added to do so. - - -July 25, 2000 - Version 0.13 - - This release adds support for 16 bit character sets via Omega's OFM -files. The DVI and VF code was made 16 bit clean. I am anxious -to hear from Omega users. - - The release also changes the way encodings are written to the PDF file. -The prior method was causing compatibility problems with certain software -that tried to merge PDF files. - - Much of the Type1 font code has been rewritten for this release. The -rewritten code allows multiple encodings to be used with the same Type 1 -font in the same document so that *all* glyphs (even >256) are available -from a Type 1 font. Font subsetting has been improved. In particular, the -internal encoding is completely removed if it's not needed. - -July 8, 2000 - Version 0.12.8 - - The primary change in this release involves fixing file inclusion -so that it works with the older TeXfig style specials used by the -psfig macros. Other changes include fixing several bugs in metapost -file inclusion, bugs in the parsing of colormaps of PDF files to be -embedded, and a bug that could cause characters to disappear under -certain conditions. Work on a problem that affects use of XYPIC -is in progress. - - WARNING: THE LATEX SUPPORT FILE NAMED DVIPDFM.DEF HAS CHANGED IN VERSION - 0.12 TO BE MORE COMPATIBLE WITH DVIPS AND OTHER DVI DRIVERS. IT - CANNOT BE USED WITH EARLIER VERSIONS OF DVIDFPM. HOWEVER, - EARLIER VERSIONS OF DVIPDFM.DEF CAN BE USED WITH VERSION 0.12. - -September 6, 1999 - Version 0.12 - - Added native support for including MetaPost output. Along with this - comes the ability to interpret simple PostScript operators natively. - This allows dvipdfm to process DVI files intended for dvips as long as - they don't do anything too fancy. The internal mini-PostScript - interpreter is good enough to process the "rotate" commands produced by - the standard dvips graphics driver. - - Added support for PostScript files using a helper application such as - GhostScript. PostScript files may be included with either the "PSfile" - special or the "plotfile" special. - - Added support for the "standard" color specials. Together with the above - list, dvipdfm can now process many DVI files targets for dvips (as long - as they use very simple PostScript commands). PostScript code such as - that produced by PSTricks is not supported. - - Added a configuration file for specifying default command line options. - -August 21, 1999. - - WARNING: VERSION 0.11 CHANGES THE FORMAT OF THE t1fonts.map FILE. - - The font code has been reworked in several ways. Version 0.11 does not -require AFM files. This is a significant improvement since AFM files are -disappearing from major distributions and repositories. Unfortunately, this -required a change in the format of the t1fonts.map file. - - A bit of the font code has been rewritten to provide work-alikes for the -"slantfont" and "extendfont" provided by dvips. There are several -workarounds for various bugs in Acrobat Reader involving searching for and -selecting ligatures and there's also an attempt to address the disappearing -Gamma problem. - - Version 0.11 also adds PNG and thumbnail support. - - Version 0.11 add support for the HyperTeX (HTML) specials for improved -DVI file portability. - -April 8, 1999. - - Version 0.10.5 changes the rule code to use a PDF stroke instead -of filling a rectangular box. It also omits some unecessary -font information from the PDF file for the base 14 PS fonts. -This is to produce for slightly smaller PDF files when using -these fonts. - -March 30, 1999. - - NOTE: VERSION 0.10.4 CHANGES THE NAME/LOCATION OF ITS CONFIGURATION FILES! - - It also fixes a bug that caused nested virtual fonts to fail and fixes a couple of other - fairly insignificant bugs. - - Version 0.10.0 introduced PK fonts support and support - for TPIC special commands to allow some native graphics - support (don't you hate distilling those .eps files). - -December 30, 1998. - Version 0.9.0 supports partial font embedding and Flate compression. The - page tree and destination tree are shipped out as balanced trees. - -December 14, 1998. - Version 0.8.3 fixes a memory leak in the vf code found by Akiro Kakuto. - Another change hopefully makes running ./configure a bit easier. - - Version 0.8.1 and 0.8.2 fix an overflow in the kerning code - which occurs for large horizontal motions. - - Version 0.8 supports virtual fonts. Much of the code has been - reorganized and rewritten. It is nearly an order of magnitude faster than - earlier versions. Version 0.8 no longer requires the kpath source - tree. Instead it uses an installed version of libkpathsea and its - headers. - -Nov. 28, 1998 - Specifying font encoding now supported. There is a font map file for - the more common PostScript fonts. - -Nov. 26, 1998 - - LaTeX Graphics and hyperref support is now available.
