[metapost] MetaPost 1.801 announcement

[Taco Hoekwater]

I am happy to announce a new release of MetaPost:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
MetaPost 1.801
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a bugfix release for 1.800.

The win32 binary as well as a source archive can be downloaded
immediately from the files section at

   https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/metapost/

If you want to build MetaPost yourself, you can also do an anonymous
subversion checkout:

   $ svn checkout --username anonsvn 
https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/metapost/tags/1.801

The password is anonsvn

----------------------------------------------------------------------
What is new in MetaPost version 1.801:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

* fixed an off-by-one error in the SVG output that prevented the last
   font's glyphs from actually being output to the svg file under
   prologues:=3;

* fixed a bug in bbox calculations in that caused the max y to be set
   based on the maximum x coordinate internal value instead of the
   maximum y coordinate.

* fixed a bug where metapost incorrectly produced a 'degenerate spec'
   error.

* build fixes for various platforms imported from TeXLive 2013, as
   well as the latest kpathsea development etc.

Have fun!
