+This file records noteworthy changes.  (Public domain.)
+
+dvips 5.998 (TeX Live 2018):
+  New JFM (Japanese font metrics) spec supported; compiler portability fixes.
+
+dvips 5.997 (TeX Live 2017):
+  Make the last papersize special win, to match dvipdfmx; the -L0 option
+  or L0 config restores the previous behavior of the first special winning.
+  
+dvips 5.996 (TeX Live 2016):
+  afm2tfm 8.4: only adjust heights of base characters upward for accent
+  position, and new option -a to omit all adjustments.
+
+dvips 5.995 (TeX Live 2015):
+  Remove psfig support, as it is nonfree.
+
+dvips 5.994 (TeX Live 2014):
+  Omit UniqueID from subsets.
+
+dvips 5.993 (TeX Live 2013):
+  `m' value <= 0 now means no limit on vm.
+
+dvips 5.992 (TeX Live 2012):
+  `c' config file include directive.
+
+dvips 5.991 (TeX Live 2011):
+  Type 1 parsing bug fixes.
+  Integer overflow bug fix.
+
+dvips 5.99 (TeX Live 2010):
+   Use the type1 path to search for Type 1 fonts.
+   Support for Japanese pTeX.
+   Numeric overflow and sprintf checks.
+   Reformat sources.
+
+
+dvips 5.86 notes:
+   Minor improvements to epsf style file.
+   Another patch to t1part.c to make it more liberal in accepting pfb/pfa
+      font files.
+   Added PS reencoding reimplementation by Rob Hutchings.
+   Added 'F' in config file to send controlD.
+   Added quick exit if -? or -v.
+   Improved tex.lpro to fix a bug that showed up in distiller.
+   Improved tex.lpro to work around a problem in certain Windows
+      environments.
+   Made dvips complain if it had to section a document.
+   Eliminated use-after-free bug in hps.c.
+   Fixed a problem in t1part for the Euro fonts with partial font downloading.
+   Fixed a big problem in t1part for some font downloading due to
+      uninitialized allocations.
+   Added `unknown' paper size back to config.ps.
+   Made t1part munge the UniqueID to prevent cache problems in Acrobat and
+      other programs.
+   Fixed parsing error when whitespace following '<' in psfonts.map.
+   Made '<<' work correctly (disable partial font downloading for that
+      particular font) in psfonts.map.
+
+dvips 5.74 notes:
+
+   The epsf.sty and epsf.tex files are now in the public domain.
+   The t1part.c has been updated to support binary files with
+       multiple binary sections.
+
+dvips 5.72 notes:
+
+   Bug fix in t1part.c???  I hope so!
+
+   Debugging now turned on by default.  No real reason to turn it off.
+   (Too many Linux versions of dvips without debugging have been
+   distributed, and it makes it very difficult to help the users with
+   their problems . . .)
+
+dvips 5.62 notes:
+
+   The makefile and config.ps and MakeTeXPK need to be modified to fit
+   your site!

+This directory contains Dvips, Tom Rokicki's dvips, a DVI-to-PostScript
+translator.  It requires the Kpathsea library for path searching.
+
+See `NEWS' for changes by release, `ChangeLog` for all changes.
+See `../kpathsea/BUGS' for details on reporting bugs.
+
+Dvips is free software; Tom's original files are public domain.  The
+files Karl wrote (originally for the Free Software Foundation) are
+covered by the GNU General Public License -- see the files COPYING*.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The documentation is in the file dvips.texi.
+
+You can read and run the file testdata/dvipstst.tex that to test some
+basic capabilities of dvips.  Some of the other files in testdata:
+intoverflow.dvi (CVE-2010-0739)
+vfnameoverflow.dvi (CVE-2010-0827)
+See also the *.test* scripts.
+
+If you enjoy using dvips, you will probably enjoy being a member of 
+the TeX Users Group.  To join or contribute to TUG, see http://tug.org.
+
+This is a list of people who have contributed substantially to dvips.
+I'm sure I've forgotten many.  Thanks to all!
