MetaPost 1.999 announcement

I am happy to announce a new (and my final) release of MetaPost: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MetaPost 1.999 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the pre-release for Metapost 2.000. The only functional difference between this version and 1.901 is the addition of the 'binary' numbersystem. This version will *not* be included in TL2014, for two reasons: * integration of the required GMP & MPFR libraries into the texlive build system is not trivial, and is better postponed until after the current TL release. * Not a lot of testing has been done yet. A source archive can be downloaded from the files section at https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/metapost/ You can also do an anonymous subversion checkout: $ svn checkout --username anonsvn https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/metapost/tags/1.999 The password is anonsvn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What is new in MetaPost version 1.999: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * The numbersystem 'binary' is now operational. For the last time from me: Have fun! Taco Hoekwater, for the MetaPost team, April 9, 2014

MetaPost 1.901 announcement

I am happy to announce a new release of MetaPost: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MetaPost 1.901 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is still the release for TeX Live 2014, just adding some bug fixes. A source archive can be downloaded from the files section at https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/metapost/ You can also do an anonymous subversion checkout: $ svn checkout --username anonsvn https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/metapost/tags/1.901 The password is anonsvn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What is new in MetaPost version 1.901: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * Fixed a bug in 'decimal' mode that affected (among other things) the directionpoint and bbox calculations. * Fixed a bug in 'decimal' mode calculation of sine / cosine that affected the precision of the answer in situations where 'numberprecision' was less than 34. * Updated the number parsing in 'decimal' mode to detect 'too precise' input and optionally generate an error in that case (depends on 'warningcheck') * Fixed a bug in the svg output where it could crash in 'decimal' mode. * Fixed a bug in the png output where it could get confused if there was more than one text label * Fixed a bug in the png output for stroked paths Have fun!
