fig2dev: Update to 3.2.8.
Patchlevel 8 (Dec 2020)
NEW FEATURES:
o Use deflate to embed image data into eps output, often substantially
reducing file size.
o Embed pdf files into ps output by converting the pdf to eps.
o Allow negative arrow widths. This might be useful for asymmetric arrow
tips, which can thus be mirrored around the corresponding line.
BUGS FIXED:
Ticket numbers refer to https://sourceforge.net/p/mcj/tickets/#.
o Reject negative text font sizes. Fixes ticket #86.
o Allow fig files ending without previous eol character. Fixes #83, #84.
o Accept text and ellipse angles only within -2*pi to 2*pi. Fixes #76.
o Allow -1 as default TeX font, not only 0. Fixes #71, #75, #81.
o Do not allow ASCII NUL anywhere in input. Fixes #65, #68, #73, #80.
o Use getline() to improve input scanning.
Fixes tickets #58, #59, #61, #62, #67, #78, #79, #82.
o Correctly scan embedded pdfs for /MediaBox value.
o Convert polygons having too few points to polylines. Ticket #56.
o Reject huge arrow types causing integer overflow. Ticket #57.
o Allow Fig v2 text strings ending with multiple ^A. Ticket #55.
o Embed images in pdfs with their original compression type, i.e., leave
the gs switch "-dAutoFilterColorImages" at its default value \
"true".

fig2dev: Update to 3.2.7b
Patchlevel 7b (Oct 2019)
NEW FEATURES:
o A X color database is not needed, but can be provided. The location of
the database can be given at compile time, default /etc/X11/rgb.txt.
BUGS FIXED:
Ticket numbers refer to https://sourceforge.net/p/mcj/tickets/#.
Debian bug numbers refer to https://bugs.debian.org/#.
o Do not clip objects with line-thickness 0 having arrows. Ticket #53.
o Do not segfault on circle/half circle arrowheads with a magnification
larger 42. Always draw circle arrowheads with 40 points. Ticket #52.
o Allow circles or ellipses with negative radii. Ticket #49.
o Avoid "dimension too large error" with tikz output by avoiding
coordinate values smaller than -16383.
o Make tests (test1.c) work with -fsanitize=address compiler option.
o Obey join-style of lines in tikz output.
o Pass utf8-strings to svg output, escape some chars (<>&).
o Accept inclined boxes and change them to polygons. Fixes ticket #43.
o Make tests #27 and #33 work on Mac Darwin, failed due to whitespace
formatting differences. From Hanspeter Niederstrasser. Ticket #40.
o Use only latex, neither etex or tex, to test tikz output. Usage of
etex, after hint from Roland Rosenfeld, closed debian bug 920368.
o For tikz output, do not draw arrows on a single point line.
o Omit spurious showpage when including jpg-file. From Rainer Buchty.
o Correct a few memory leaks and corruptions. See commit d1c54f6.
o Change negative color numbers to default color. Fixes ticket #30.
o A spline with one point would cause segfault. Fixed, see ticket #29.
o Allow one char without newline in the last line of an input file.
Fixes ticket #28.
o Harden input, mainly against files in which an incomplete object would
be created and freeing the object would violate memory, i.e, it may
cause segfault. See, e.g., ticket #27.
o Properly initalize line storage when reading fig files version 1.3.
Would segfault when reading incomplete line and trying to free it.
Fixes ticket #26, debian bug 906743.
o Silently ignore the hundred-first and more comment lines. This
fixes ticket #25 and debian bug 906740.
o Use SetFigFont, not SetFigFontNFSS in pictex output. Fixes
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transfig/+bug/1359485 .
o Accept blanks in color names (e.g., fig2dev -L eps -g"Misty Rose"..).
o Correct typos in man-pages, debian 30_man_typo.patch.
-------------------------------------
Patchlevel 7a (May 2018)
NEW FEATURES:
o Add option -w, wrap (create stand-alone perl file) for Perl/Tk output.
o Distribute the X bitmaps files within fig2dev, no need to install
these files. The files were needed for Tk and Perl/Tk output.
BUGS FIXED:
Ticket numbers refer to https://sourceforge.net/p/mcj/tickets/#.
o Fix regression whereupon flipped ellipses were not read. Ticket #23.
o Distribute i18n files ru_RU.CP1251.ps and uk_UA.KOI8-U.ps.
o Make test "survive debian bug #890016" succeed on 32 bit systems.

Debian bug numbers refer to https://bugs.debian.org/#.
Ticket numbers refer to https://sourceforge.net/p/mcj/tickets/#.
o Sanitize input. Do not segfault on malformed input files. Fixes debian
bugs 881143, 881144, 881396, 890015, 890016, 882021 and also 882022.
o Do not put an %%Orientation: comment into PostScript output. Some
viewers would rotate the resulting file, others not.
o Fix build on NetBSD, which has a _setmode() function different from
_setmode() on Windows. Ticket #17. Also, avoid alloca(). Ticket #16.
o tikz output: Omit the semicolon after \pgftext[..]{...};.
o Define PostScript patterns with larger tiles, may render better. #13
o Fix build in case libXpm is missing. Ticket #15.
o Use netpbm programs instead of ghostscript, to produce smaller files.
o Correctly embed eps files with binary preview (epsi, typically
found on Microsoft systems). Also, allow to embed ps-files. Fixes
debian bug 248807, ticket #8.
o For compilation, do not depend on PATH_MAX being defined.
