20190410:
Kpathsea: More consistent brace expansion and path splitting; new variable TEXMFDOTDIR instead of hard-coded . in paths allows for easily searching additional or sub-directories (see comments in texmf.cnf).
epTEX, eupTEX: New primitives \readpapersizespecial and \expanded.
LuaTEX: Lua 5.3 now used, with concomitant arithmetic and interface changes. The homegrown library pplib is used to read pdf files, thus eliminating the dependency on poppler (and the need for C++); Lua interface changed accordingly.
MetaPost: r-mpost command name recognized as an alias for invocation with the –restricted option, and added to the list of restricted commands available by default. Minimum precision now 2 for decimal and binary mode. Binary mode no longer available in MPlib but still available in standalone MetaPost.
pdfTEX: New primitive \expanded; if new primitive parameter \pdfomitcharset is set to 1, the /CharSet string omitted from the PDF output, since it cannot feasibly be guaranteed correct, as required by PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3.
XeTEX: New primitives \expanded, \creationdate, \elapsedtime, \filedump, \filemoddate, \filesize, \resettimer, \normaldeviate, \uniformdeviate, \randomseed; extend \Ucharcat to produce active characters.
tlmgr: Support curl as a download program; use lz4 and gzip before xz for local backups, if available; prefer system-provided binaries over binaries provided with TEX Live for compressor and download programs, unless the environment variable TEXLIVE_PREFER_OWN is set.
install-tl: New option -gui (with no argument) is the default on Windows and Macs, and invokes a new Tcl/TK GUI (see sections 1.3 and 3.1.6).
Utilities:
cwebbin (https://ctan.org/pkg/cwebbin) is now the CWEB implementation in TEX Live, with support for more language dialects, and including the ctwill program to make mini-indexes.
chkdvifont: report font information from DVI files, also from tfm/ofm, vf, gf, pk.
dvispc: make a DVI file page-independent with respect to specials.
MacTEX: x86_64-darwin now supports 10.12 and higher (Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave); x86_64-darwinlegacy still supports 10.6 and newer. The spell checker Excalibur is no longer included, since it requires 32-bit support.
Platforms: removed sparc-solaris.

The 1.0 distfile server has not been available for a couple years
now, there is no copy on nftp, and this package is part of one of
the texlive meta packages, so it would be good if it was fetchable.
Changes since 1.0:
2015-07-07 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>
* Makefile.am: Better dependencies for 'make check'.
2015-06-16 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>
* dvidvi.c: Drop <kpathsea/config.h> (isascii via KPSE_COMMON).
2015-04-17 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>
* dvidvi.c: #include <kpathsea/config.h> (for isascii).
2014-06-16 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>
* Makefile.am: Drop the obsolete ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS.
2013-06-28 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>
* dvidvi.c: First include <config.h>.
2012-11-19 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>
* Makefile.am: Avoid use of deprecated INCLUDES.
2012-05-29 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>

already declared in <unistd.h> or <kpathsea/c-fopen.h>.
Cast arguments to avoid MSVC compiler warnings.
From Akira Kakuto <kakuto@fuk.kindai.ac.jp> (W32TeX).
2011-09-25 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>
* dvidvi.test: New shell script for tests.

2011-04-18 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>

* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): read.me has been renamed README.
2010-05-10 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>

Remove unused variables.
Remove SHORTINT (to select '%ld' or '%d' format specifiers),
all relevant variables are integer (typedef'ed as long).
2009-06-02 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>
* dvidvi.c: always include <stdlib.h>, to avoid implicit
declaration of calloc, exit, free, and malloc.
