Version 2.14 Patchlevel 10 Added Features/Bug Fixes

  1. Fix a bug that caused segmentation fault when drawing interpolated splines. Thanks to Fozzy C. Dressel for the patch.

  2. Fix a bug that caused segmentation fault on Linux when executing the create_file_using_simple_template internal command (which is used in 'eq.sym' in the LaTeX example of /pub/samples_tgif/latex.tar.Z on bourbon.cs.ucla.edu). Thanks to Edmundo de Souza e Silva for pointing out the problem.

  3. Fix a bug in Edit editing attributes and page names (names was truncated if it contains a '/' character). Thanks to Leana Golubchik for pointing out the problem.

  4. Supports double-click in text mode (select a word).

  5. Supports page numbering objects in a multipage drawing. Please read the MULTIPAGE DRAWING section of the man pages for details.

  6. Supports auto-centered attributes. Such an attribute centers around its owner when the owner is stretched. Please read the auto_center_attr entry in the SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES section of the man pages for details. Another feature is added to expose the objects inside an icon when the object is instantiated. Please read the unmakeiconic_on_instantiate entry in the SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES section of the man pages for details. These features are handy when it comes to drawing flowcharts. There are a few examples available for anonymous ftp:

    bourbon.cs.ucla.edu:/pub/samples_tgif/flowchart.tar.Z

  7. Add a new X default, Tgif*MinimalEPS, to allow DSC conforming EPS to be generated. Too much information was generated before. Thanks to James Geller for pointing out the problem.

  8. Fix a bug which generates erroneous %%DocumentFonts information with 8-bit characters and when additional fonts are used. Thanks to Johan Vromans for pointing out the problems.

  9. Fix a bug which occationally generates a ghost box when importing EPS files. Thanks to Edmond Mesrobian for pointing out the problem.
