- Version 0.6 (28 October 1992)
-
- * Imageto changes:
- - Automatically removes all pieces of adjacent characters; the
- `-clean-threshold' kludge is gone.
- - `-info-filename' option renamed to `-ifi-filename'.
- - Writes a complete GF font if the image file is incomplete.
- - No longer crashes on a filename lacking an extension.
-
- * BZRto changes:
- - No longer requires TFM files as input along with the BZR files.
- - Doesn't guess that the CCC file is the same as the BZR file.
- - Ligature/kern Metafont output doesn't crash on missing characters.
- - Metafont output does better at not overflowing MF's memory.
-
- * GSrenderfont changes:
- - Handles invisible characters, such as spaces.
- - Reads Type 3 PostScript fonts, as well as Type 1.
- - No longer requires an output encoding; default is same as input.
- - Reads fonts that aren't known to Ghostscript by default.
-
- * Other program changes:
- - Limn doesn't try to log uninitialized floating-point numbers.
- - All the programs handle fontnames containing `.' better.
- - Verbose output usually goes to standard output, instead of standard error.
- - Minor installation and configuration fixes.
-
- * Documentation changes:
- - The chapter on bug reporting has some further explanation of the
- purpose of what we ask for, and clarifications. Please read before
- submitting bug reports.
- - The chapter on Imageto has been substantially rewritten. I hope the
- difficulties people encountered using that program because of
- deficiencies in the manual will be cleared up now.
-
- Version 0.5 (3 September 1992)
-
- * Manual written!
-
- * New program `BPLtoBZR' and new Emacs Lisp BZR editing mode bzredit.el.
-
- * BZRto provides for character construction (of, e.g., pre-accented
- files) via CCC files.
- Can also merge fonts, scaling them all to the same size.
-
- * Charspace reads CMI files instead of SBI files; pretty much the same
- idea, but many changes to the syntax, etc.
-
- * Fontconvert can put a space character in its output.
- Can do some things via character names, instead of only character codes.
-
- * Imageto uses character names instead of codes, and
- can write EPS files.
