New and changed functionality:
- Input files are now mapped (using mmap(2)) if that functionality
is available, and if they're determined to be seekable (ie, not a
pipe). This should increase the speed of access to large DVI files
(but this probably wasn't a huge bottleneck before).
- Modified DviFile::currH and currV so that they now report
positions in multiple more useful units. Enhanced library
documentation.
- Added dvireport.cc program to report the contents of DVI files
(in a different way from the dv2dt suite), which also acts as an
example of the use of the library.
- Modify
--output
so that if there is no `%'
character in the `pattern', dvi2bitmap
takes this to be
the name of the one output file; omitting the `%' was previously an
error. - Added `mark' special; the format of the
--query=bitmaps
output has been consequently slightly
enhanced. - Modified interface to
DviFile::getEvent
so that
the returned event should be released by a method call, rather than
delete
. - Fixed bug which meant DviFile could search for PK files in
demented sizes (non-initialised variable...)
