New in 0.8
This release adds --depth and --height options for vertical
positioning on webpages and whatnot. It also fixes some bugs, in
particular one that would hang dvipng in certain PostScript font
installs.
New in 0.7
This release focuses on PostScript and TrueType font support. If the
FreeType font library is present, dvipng will be able to render fonts
internally, rather than relying on gsftopk. This will reduce disk
clutter, especially when rendering at unusual resolutions.
This program makes PNG graphics from DVI files as obtained from
TeX and its relatives.
It is intended to produce anti-aliased screen-resolution images as
fast as is possible. The target audience is people who need to
generate and regenerate many images again and again. The primary
target is the preview-latex (X)Emacs package, a package to preview
formulas from within (X)Emacs. Yes, you get to see your formulas
in the (X)Emacs buffer, see `http://preview-latex.sf.net'.
Another example is WeBWorK, an internet-based method for delivering
homework problems to students over the internet, giving students
instant feedback as to whether or not their answers are correct,
see `http://webwork.math.rochester.edu'.
Other applications may also benefit, like web applications as
latex2html and WYSIWYG editors like LyX.
