- This file records noteworthy changes.
-
- 2.6 (9 January 1995)
- * MakeTeXPK installed from kpathsea, instead of each driver.
- * MakeTeXPK.site looked for in texmf/web2c, instead of texmf/dvips.
- * texmf.cnf installed and looked for in texmf/web2c, instead of texmf.
- * If a mode is not explicitly specified, search all subdirectories (this
- was actually in a previous release).
- * install-sh only looked for in the top-level directory.
- * kpsewhich replaces and generalizes kpsexpand.
-
- 2.5 (15 December 1994)
- * Go back to calling db_insert after a successful MakeTeXPK, and check
- for lack of an ls-R.
- * Handle case of magstep -.5 for MakeTeXPK properly.
-
- 2.4 (28 October 1994)
- * Avoid calling db_insert, which caused a segmentation fault.
-
- 2.3 (26 October 1994)
- * Extra :'s in an envvar value, referring to the texmf.cnf value, work.
- * Names like dpi600/cmr10.pk can be found in ls-R.
- * KPATHSEA_DEBUG environment variable checked.
- * Directories like pk/ljfour directly under $TEXMF/fonts are found.
- * New standalone program, kpsexpand, optionally compiled and installed,
- to do variable expansion (not path searching).
- * Debugging output written to stderr instead of stdout.
- * pxlNNN support removed; I never intended to support `pxl1500', and
- pxl300 is never used.
-
- 2.2 (14 October 1994)
- * MakeTeXPK invoked for the any_glyph type; this is for xdvik.
- * MakeTeXPK sources $(psheaderdir)/MakeTeXPK.site if it exists.
- * pxlNNN/cmr10.pk searched for (as well as dpiNNN/cmr10.pk and cmr10.NNNpk)
-
- 2.1 (12 September 1994)
- * Manual goes through TeX, and .cps/.aux files are in the distribution.
- * INSTALL* variables set at the top level.
- * Dependency on GNU tr making paths.h and texmf.sed (->texmf.cnf) removed.
- * texmf.cnf installed if it didn't previously exist.
-
- 2.0 (8 September 1994)
- * Runtime configuration file support; see the manual.
- * Both dpi600/cmr10.pk and cmr10.600pk are searched for.
- * ls-R matches $TEXMF//latex2e vs. $TEXMF//latex209.
- * $TEXMFLOG, if set, specifies a filename for logging successful searches.
- * All directory entries beginning with `.' are ignored, not just `.' and `..'.
- * Default path for PK and GF fonts includes the mode name.
- * ls-R is in $TEXMFROOT instead of hardwired at compile time.
- * More debugging flags, and they can be set with client program options.
- * If MakeTeX{PK,TFM} fail, or aren't invoked, a file missfont.log is
- written with the requisite commands, as in dvips.
- * More 328/329/330 fixes, maybe for the last time.
- * The override font paths (XDVIFONTS etc.) apply only to glyph (PK/GF)
- searches, not TFM or VF.
- * -g is not the default when linking, to avoid unnecessarily large binaries
- (due to static libraries) under Linux.
- * configure checks for a smart putenv.
- * Stat results are cached to speed up disk searches.
-
- 1.8 (2 April 1994)
- * New target install-info, so the documentation can be installed without
- the headers.
- * Existing but unreadable files are complained about, instead of just ignored.
- * A leading %% in a path element forbids searching the disk for that
- element; only a db will be searched (if it exists).
- * The db is only used if it might be relevant to a given path element,
- not searched first regardless.
-
- 1.7 (1 March 1994)
- * Searches can use an externally-built ls-R ``database'', for speed.
- * `VPATH = .' lines removed from generated Makefile, for broken Sun make.
- * A path foo//tfm finds foo/tfm as well as foo/*/tfm.
-
- 1.6 (3 February 1994)
- * Memory fault in copying long paths fixed.
- * More variables passed down from the top-level Makefile.
- * Mention SMART_PUTENV in the INSTALL file, and fix bug in xputenv.c
- when one envvar is a proper prefix of another.
- * More attempts at eliminating magstephalf annoyances.
- * Directory name substitutions are done globally when creating paths.h.
- * Various changes for DOS.
-
- 1.5 (24 January 1994)
- * Default paths changed.
- * Defining GCC_WCHAR lets GCC define wchar_t.
- * EXIT_FAILURE and EXIT_SUCCESS defined in all cases (if they're not already).
- * str[r]chr never redefined (I hope).
-
- 1.4 (3 November 1993)
- * Check closest fallback font size.
- * All default paths (including dvips') in paths.h.in, not the Makefile.
- * Rearrange directory lists so that dirs in which a file is found
- migrate to the top.
- * Update for Autoconf 1.7.
-
- 1.3 (6 October 1993)
- * Fix free of non-malloced memory bug.
- * Fix uninitialized gf path bug.
- * mkdirchain invoked as an absolute filename.
-
- 1.2 (27 September 1993)
- * Running MakeTeXPK is tried before the fallback resolutions.
- * The final bitmap name uses a variable spec, so DOS & OS/2 can get
- dpi300/cmr10.pk.
- * Document TeX-specific features.
- * Dpi passed to MakeTeXPK via the envvar KPATHSEA_DPI instead of MAKETEX_DPI.
-
- 1.1 (26 August 1993)
- * Installation fixes.
-
- 1.0 (5 August 1993)
- * Routines to look up TeX font files, default path specifications, etc.
- * Sort-of pattern matching: /foo//bar matches subdirectories
- /foo/a/bar, /foo/b/bar, /foo/a1/a2/bar, etc.
- * $var and ${var} expansion.
- * Support for MakeTeX... scripts.
- * Support for fallback resolutions and font.
- * Lazy evaluation of path elements.
- * Some runtime debugging support.
-
- 0.2 (12 May 1993)
-
- First general release as a standalone library.
