Xy-pic works with most formats (including LaTeX, AMS-LaTeX, -AMS-TeX, and plain TeX), in particular Xy-pic is provided as a LaTeX2e -`supported package' (following the `CTAN LaTeX2e bundle' standard). - -Further specifics of the package are in the distribution README file. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - NEWS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -The primary purpose of release 3.7 is the granting of special permission -to copy the Xy-pic fonts and graphic specials inside documents, for -example in DVI, PostScript, and PDF files. This has no practical -significance except making current (reasonable) practice explicitly -legal. - -Release 3.7 furthermore fixes a few bugs in release 3.6 and adds a few -features: a "smart turning path" feature and an extension with macro -expansion in kernel expressions and polygon shapes by George C. Necula, -and the beginnings of an emulation of LaTeX picture mode proposed by -Paul Burchard and Bill Richter. - -Special thanks to George Necula for the bug fixes and impressive -extensions, to Bill Richter for extending Paul Burchard's pb-diagram to -use Xy-pic as a backend and for contributing the `picture' feature, to -Berthold Horn of Y&Y Inc. for releasing the copyright on their -PostScript fonts, and to Pieter Donche and Marcelo Cunha dos Santos for -the bug reports. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - AVAILABILITY ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -Xy-pic can be retrieved through the World Wide Web Xy-pic `home page': - - URL: http://www.ens-lyon.fr/~krisrose/Xy-pic.html - -as well as by anonymous ftp from - - CTAN: macros/generic/diagrams/xypic - -Check the README file in each location for specifics, in particular -check that you have reached a version 3.7 copy (some archives take a -while to mirror the latest files)! - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - HISTORY & CREDITS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -The first public release (version 1.40) of Xy-pic was created by -Kristoffer H. Rose, DIKU, U of Copenhagen (now ENS-Lyon, France) and -distributed via Usenet on December 19, 1991. This quickly became -version 2 of which version 2.6 was the stable for sevarl years. - -The thorough rewrite that became version 3 is a continued -collaboration with Ross Moore, Macquarie U, Sydney, initiated through -a visit to Macquarie (Jan-May 1994 supported by the Australian -Research Council, Macquarie University, and using donated DEC -equipment). However, full backwards compatibility is maintained -(except for the unavoidable but fully documented obscure cases). - -Xy-pic is Copyright (c) 1991-1998 by Kristoffer H. Rose and 1994-1998 -by Ross Moore under GNU COPYLEFT (GPL) which means that you can use -the package for any purpose but if you provide the macros or any code -derived from them to a third party then you are obliged to include the -entire Xy-pic package (full details in the file COPYING). The -PostScript fonts are additionally Copyright (c) 1997 Y&Y Inc. The -FONTCOPYING file details the special permissions to distribute fonts -without the full requirements of the GPL. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - - This is the end of the announcement. Enjoy Xy-pic! - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
