This is because the +graphics state cannot be communicated back to dvipng from gs. So no +guarantees. Also, the performance in terms of runtime could be better. + +Other changes include a fix for inclusion of bitmaps with transparent +background and a typo in the file-handling code on machines that do +not have mmap. + + +Report any bugs you find, see README for instructions. |
