-
- Well, it has only been about a week since I released xfig 2.1.5, but there
- were some pretty major bugs so I have made version 2.1.6 available.
-
- Transfig has also been updated because of its own bugs so I have posted
- an announcement for it separately.
-
- Here is the announcement:
-
- xfig 2.1.6 is available on export.lcs.mit.edu in /contrib/R5fixes/xfig-patches/
- xfig.2.1.6.tar.Z. Be sure to set binary mode when transferring.
-
- There is also an incremental patch file to convert from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6. This
- is in the file /contrib/R5fixes/xfig-patches/2.1.5.to.2.1.6.Z. You may use
- the 'patch' program to automatically apply the changes to your 2.1.5 release.
-
- You also need to get TransFig version 2.1.6. TransFig contains the post-
- processor needed by xfig to convert fig files to one of several output formats,
- such as PostScript, pic, LaTeX etc. The TransFig package is in the file
- /contrib/transfig.2.1.6.tar.Z.
-
- Xfig is a menu-driven tool that allows the user to draw and manipulate objects
- interactively in an X window. The resulting pictures can be saved, printed
- on postscript printers or converted to a variety of other formats (e.g. to
- allow inclusion in LaTeX documents).
-
- Following is a description of the CHANGES for 2.1.6.
-
- Patchlevel 6
- Changes to Patchlevel 5:
-
- BUG FIXES:
-
- o typo in man pages with menu item "Textyl \special commands" in export menu
- o action changed from "cancel" to "dismiss" for print menu accelerator
- o bug in Intrinsics? on Sun Monochrome prevented side ruler from scrolling
- o was using ellipse routine to draw circles - was choppy for small circles
- o cast comparison function argument to qsort
- o rotated ellipses don't become coarse as they are zoomed
-
