Hi, I write to this mailing list because the MetaPost mailing list has been silent for a while. I hope it is ok. I am getting to grips with MetaPost after a long hiatus, so I have not followed recent developments. I see that the version shipped with TeX Live 2016 is 1.9991 and that the current maintainer is Luigi. My questions: - What is the official MetaPost site (if there is any), with the latest source (superlec.fr does not seem up to date and I cannot find any code on CTAN)? - Are there any release notes to know what has changed since version 1.90x? - I know that LuaTeX uses an embedded version of MetaPost. Is that aligned with the stand-alone executable (mpost)? Thanks in advance, Nicola

- Are there any release notes to know what has changed since version 1.90x?
hm, the file CHANGES
- I know that LuaTeX uses an embedded version of MetaPost. Is that aligned with the stand-alone executable (mpost)? yes, always, otherwise it's an error.

I should have taken a deeper look. I was misled by the main page: https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/metapost/ which still reports 1.902 as the latest release. Thanks! Nicola
