2021-12-04 Scott Pakin * README, mf2pt1.texi: Updated the copyright year to 2021. * mf2pt1.pl: Documented that the directory specified by --output-dir must already exist. Updated the copyright year to 2021. Updated the version to 2.7. 2021-11-28 Scott Pakin * Makefile, mf2pt1.pl, mf2pt1.texi: Documented that environment variables for programs can now include parameters. * mf2pt1.pl: Incorporated a patch from Werner Lemberg to allow shell commands to be overridden by environment variables that can also include program parameters. 2021-11-27 Scott Pakin * mf2pt1.pl: Introduced a --save-temps option to suppress deletion of intermediate files. 2020-11-27 Scott Pakin * ChangeLog, README, mf2pt1.mp, mf2pt1.pl, mf2pt1.texi: mf2pt1 no longer generates a UniqueID automatically, only when instructed to by the user. This change assists with reproducible builds and is consistent with Adobe's declaration that unique font IDs are no longer required or even recommended. The documentation has been modified to reflect updated URLs for a number of external links and to reference the latest copyright year (2020) and mf2pt1 version number (2.6). Thanks to Werner Lemberg for bringing Lilypond's issues with reproducible builds to my attention. 2020-11-27 Scott Pakin * mf2pt1.pl Do not write a UniqueID unless explicitly requested by the user. * mf2pt1.texi Update all URLs in the documentation to the latest version. Mention that Adobe no longer recommends the use of unique IDs. * mf2pt1.texi, mf2pt1.pl, README, mf2pt1.mp Updated the version number to 2.6 and the copyright year to 2020. 2014-04-30 Scott Pakin * mf2pt1.texi Updated the formatting to work with Makeinfo 5. * mf2pt1.texi, mf2pt1.pl Updated the version number to 2.5a and the copyright year to 2014. 2014-04-30 Karl Berry * mf2pt1.texi Standardized the dir entry. 2012-06-29 Scott Pakin * mf2pt1.texi, mf2pt1.pl Increased the version number from 2.4.6 to 2.5.

Renamed $dx[123]m and $dy[123]m to $dx[123]d and $dy[123]d (for "denominator"). Renamed "precision" to "rounding". Added blank lines after each section of output. * mf2pt1.pl: Made the following changes: replaced --mem with -mem; renamed $gn to $gname and used ?: for assignment to it; cleaned up the spacing around the frac_string and frac_approx uses; cleaned up the `rmoveto' comment; fixed the "good" lines comment; renamed $dxm and $dym to $dxd and $dyd (for "denominator"); fixed the precision warnings; moved Werner's new functions to the top of the file with the others; added prototypes for those functions; and, added a SEE ALSO for FontForge. * mf2pt1.mp: Modified the comments to be more compatible with mftinc. 2005-02-06 Werner Lemberg * mf2pt1.pl: Incorporated various changes up to and including 4Feb2005. 2005-01-30 Scott Pakin * mf2pt1.pe: Created: FontForge script to autohint all of the characters in a given font. 2005-01-30 Werner Lemberg * mf2pt1.mp: Patched charwd. * mf2pt1.pl: Performed a major revision of the code. 2005-01-08 Scott Pakin * mf2pt1.pl: Bug fix: Corrected rounding to work properly on negative numbers.
