Changes include tons of bugfixes plus the following new features:
o SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) driver
o ASCII and Binary (TIFF) preview bitmap options for PostScript
o JPEG encoding (DCT) now used for EPS/PostScript output.
o Background (-g) option for tk export honored now
o Additional JPEG file format (EXIF) added. These usually come from
digital cameras.
o -N Option to convert colors to grayscale on export.
o -b option for CGM export to produce binary CGM using ralcgm.
o Translations of LATEX.AND.XFIG document into two popular Chinese
encodings (GB2312 and Big5).
o The default for multi-page output (PostScript) is to NOT overlap
pages now. This is to allow multiple, independent pages of
figures. The -O option has been added to force page overlap.
o Added EMF (Enhanced MetaFile) conversion genemf.c
o New grid option (-G) to draw grid on page.
o Perk/Tk driver from Slaven Rezic (rezic@onlineoffice.de)
o Added options -B and -R to the EPS driver.
o New PostScript DSC directives to specify page size.
o fig2dev now includes all "special" (LaTeX) texts that don't have
any backslashes ("\") in them in the bounding box.
o genepic and genpictex drivers updated for I18N
o Glyphs for Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Slovak and Slovenian
are essentially the same as Czech (ISO-Latin 2) so symbolic
links are created for those .ps files
o fig2dev prepends any path included in the .fig filename to
imported image file paths (only if imported image path isn't
already absolute).
o transfig now reports when it is renaming an existing makefile
or TeX macro file to a backup (e.g. Makefile to Makefile~)
o now uses Thomas Merz' jpeg2ps for imported jpeg files when
exporting to PS/EPS. This is much more compact than the
runlength encoding which is used for other bitmaps.
o New option for binary CGM export.
o New -E option to set encoding for pictex, latex, pstex_t and epic
text to ISO8859-1 (the default) or ISO8859-2
o Added "install.all" option to make to install man pages in
addition to executables etc.
o If output file ends in ".fig", fig2dev prints error message to
stderr and exits.
o New encoding option (-E) for ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-2
o Exporting to tk now supports imported PPM images in addition to
GIF and XPM
o Comments added to EPS and PostScript output so MetaPost can
group parts of figure according to depths.
o New -F, -R and -t options for epic output
Major changes since 3.2.3:
o X11 Color database ASCII file (/usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt) is now used,
removing the need for the dbm_xxx functions.
o The \special code for colors in genlatex (LaTeX driver) replaced with
the \color code to be compatible with pdflatex and not require dvips
From Klaus Guntermann (guntermann@iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de)
o PCX image reader now handles 24-bit color which means that TIFF images
(which are converted to PCX first) may also be 24-bit
o MetaPost driver (-L mp or -L mmp) ported from fig2MP by Klaus
Guntermann (guntermann@iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de). fig2MP was
written by Dane Dwyer (dwyer@geisel.csl.uiuc.edu)
o Support for importing PNG image files added
o Transparent color in imported GIF files now honored
o You may use "-M -" to send the Makefile output to standard output from
TransFig, and "-T -" to send the Texfile to standard output.
o (The following feature was really added in 3.2.3, but I forgot to update
this file): -S option added for smoothing bitmap output.
o eps added as a language for TransFig
o Support for Czech font encoding for PostScript (cs_CZ.ps)
From Radim Gelner <gelnerr@suse.cz>
And lots of bugfixes.
Package change: buildlinkified.
