I am happy to announce a new release of MetaPost:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MetaPost 1.902
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is still the release for TeX Live 2014, adding a single bug fix for a crash
in the ‘decimal’ processing of PostScript label output, discovered yesterday.
A source archive can be downloaded from the files section at
https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/metapost/
You can also do an anonymous subversion checkout:
$ svn checkout --username anonsvn https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/metapost/tags/1.902
The password is anonsvn
Have fun!

Hi,
when you use the \setupMPgraphics command in a document, e.g.
\setupMPgraphics[]
\starttext
\stoptext
the following error message appears:
lua error > error on line 1 in file /Users/wolf/TeX/test.tex:
[\directlua]:1: decimal escape too large near '\457‘
The reason for this is the use of \directMPgraphicsparameter which expands to \relax in the following block (can be found at the end of meta-ini.mkiv):
\appendtoks
\edef\p_mpy{\directMPgraphicsparameter{mpy}}%
\ifx\p_mpy\empty \else
\let\MPdataMPYfile\p_mpy
\ctxlua{metapost.makempy.registerfile("\p_mpy")}%
\fi
\to \everysetupMPgraphics

I am happy to announce a new (and my final) release of MetaPost:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MetaPost 1.999
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the pre-release for Metapost 2.000. The only functional
difference between this version and 1.901 is the addition of the
'binary' numbersystem.
This version will *not* be included in TL2014, for two reasons:
* integration of the required GMP & MPFR libraries into the texlive
build system is not trivial, and is better postponed until after
the current TL release.
* Not a lot of testing has been done yet.
A source archive can be downloaded from the files section at
https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/metapost/
You can also do an anonymous subversion checkout:
$ svn checkout --username anonsvn
https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/metapost/tags/1.999
The password is anonsvn
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What is new in MetaPost version 1.999:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* The numbersystem 'binary' is now operational.
For the last time from me:
Have fun!

I am happy to announce a new release of MetaPost:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MetaPost 1.901
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is still the release for TeX Live 2014, just adding some bug fixes.
A source archive can be downloaded from the files section at
https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/metapost/
You can also do an anonymous subversion checkout:
$ svn checkout --username anonsvn
https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/metapost/tags/1.901
The password is anonsvn
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What is new in MetaPost version 1.901:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed a bug in 'decimal' mode that affected (among other things)
the directionpoint and bbox calculations.
* Fixed a bug in 'decimal' mode calculation of sine / cosine that
affected the precision of the answer in situations where
'numberprecision' was less than 34.
* Updated the number parsing in 'decimal' mode to detect 'too precise'
input and optionally generate an error in that case (depends on
'warningcheck')
* Fixed a bug in the svg output where it could crash in 'decimal' mode.
* Fixed a bug in the png output where it could get confused if there
was more than one text label
* Fixed a bug in the png output for stroked paths
Have fun!
