[metapost] MetaPost 1.901 announcement

[Taco Hoekwater]

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!
