+dvisvgm-0.8.7
+- fixed a bounding box issue concerning italic corrections
+- PS handler: zero-length paths are now drawn as dots
+- PS handler: fixed a path positioning issue
+- PS handler: colors set by color specials are now considered properly
+- added macro {?nl} to be used with special dvisvgm:raw
+
+dvisvgm-0.8.6
+- renamed command-line option --bbox-format to --bbox
+- option --bbox can now be used to set an arbitrary bounding box
+- added the two special variants "dvisvgm:bbox abs" and "dvisvgm:bbox fix"
+- PS clipping path sequences and intersections are now handled correctly
+- fixed a PS bounding box bug
+- fixed a couple of PS positioning issues reported by John Bowman
+- fixed a bit shift overflow in the font tracer occurred on 64-bit systems
+
+dvisvgm-0.8.5
+- added an optional depth parameter to special dvisvgm:raw
+- updated the man page
+- added LGPL license text needed for the gzstream wrapper classes
+
+dvisvgm-0.8.4
+- improved the command-line parser to be more POSIX-compliant
+- added a simple progress indicator for time-consuming special operations
+- option --cache prints more information about the cached fonts
+- fixed a clipping bug in the PostScript handler
+ (thanks to John Bowman for also providing a patch for this issue)
+- fixed a bug in computation of the PS bounding box
+- fixed a memory bug in the GF tracer module
+
+dvisvgm-0.8.3
+- added basic evaluation of the PostScript "show" operator
+ (handles PSTricks Type 3 fonts properly now)
+- improved checks for Ghostscript and potrace library in configure script
+- external Ghostscript and potrace development files are used if available
+- PostScript header/prologue files are now loaded regardless of converted page
+- replaced command-line option variant --cache=? by --cache
+
+dvisvgm-0.8.2
+- changed license of dvisvgm to GPL version 3 or later
+- replaced getopt-based commandline parser by own implementation
+ in order to simplify future internationalizations
+- fixed memory bug in fontmap reader
+
+dvisvgm-0.8.1
+- added evaluation of more psfile parameters
+- fixed computation of bounding box in psfile special
+- fixed compilation errors and a conversion bug occurred on x64 systems
+
+dvisvgm-0.8
+- experimental evaluation of PostScript specials has been added (requires
+ a recent version of the Ghostscript shared library libgs.so or gsdll32.dll)
+- several code improvements and refactorings
+- fixed compilation bug occurred when using GCC 4.4.x
+
+dvisvgm-0.7.3
+- fixed bug in font map reader that could cause a segmentation fault
+- fixed bug in creation of shorthand path drawing commands
+- fixed bug in TPIC special handler
+
+dvisvgm-0.7.2
+- font caching has been added (speeds up embedding of bitmap fonts)
+- added option --trace-all that enables tracing of all glyphs of all
+ bitmap fonts used in the currect DVI file. Even glyphs that are currently
+ not needed are considered. This avoids multiple calls of Metafont for the
+ same fonts. In combination with the new caching functionality this can
+ drastically increase the speed of successive dvisvgm calls.
+- if option --no-fonts is used, all glyph sizes are now computed correctly
+- use shorthand path commands in SVG fonts if possible
+
+dvisvgm-0.7.1
+- evaluation of a subset of emTeX specials has been added
+- specials for embedding of raw SVG snippets have been added
+- evaluation of TPIC specials has been added
+- added background color support
+- added option -n, --no-fonts that replaces fonts by paths
+ (enables applications w/o SVG font support to render dvisvgm's output properly)
+- moved defs to top of SVG file to make Firefox's SVG renderer happy
+- fixed bug in color handler
+
+dvisvgm-0.7
+- basic support for evaluation of specials has been added
+- evaluation of color specials has been added
+- renamed command-line option -S to --no-specials and inverted previous behavior
+- selected special sets can be disabled by optional arguments to --no-specials
+ (currently only color specials)
+- added option --no-style (see manpage for further details)
+- added optional '+' flag to option --map-file (see manpage for further details)
+- fixed \magnificaton bug (dvi magnification factor is now applied properly)
+- fixed buggy call of maketfm/makemf in Windows/MiKTeX version
+- fixed buggy evaluation of command-line argument -m/--map-file
+- several internal code improvements
+
+dvisvgm-0.6.1
+- added support for dvips map files
+- removed dependency on dvipdfm's map file (now ps2pk.map, psfonts.map or dvipdfm.map is used by default)
+- fixed compilation bug #2535497
+- some internal refactorings
+
+dvisvgm-0.6
+- added support for varying font encodings
+- updated MiKTeX support using its COM interface
+- fixed incomplete handling of nested virtual fonts
+- fixed a font handling bug that could cause segmentation faults
+- fixed bug in matrix transformation code
+- updated bundled potrace library to version 1.8
+
+dvisvgm-0.5

+- added support for virtual fonts
+- evaluation of dvipdfm's map file to find font files with differing
+ names (e.g. cork-lmr10 => lmr10)
+- automatic invocation of mktexmf etc. in case of missing font files (tfm, mf)
+- command-line option -m has been renamed to -M
+- added command-line options -m/--map-file and -n/--no-mktexmf
+- memory bug in StreamCounter class has been fixed
