Changes in FIGlet 2.2.3
|
||
|
-----------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
FIGlet 2.2.3 is a revision of FIGlet 2.2.2 featuring minor bugfixes and
|
||
|
important licensing changes in the zipio files. The full list of
|
||
|
changes is:
|
||
|
|
||
|
o License changed from "Academic Free License" to "New BSD License"
|
||
|
(3-clause) as agreed by FIGlet authors
|
||
|
|
||
|
o New JIS X 0201 control file (Micah Cowan)
|
||
|
|
||
|
o Fix behavior of JIS0201 SHIFT-OUT and SHIFT-IN that were previouly
|
||
|
inverted (Micah Cowan)
|
||
|
|
||
|
o Fix memory violation when smushing at line start
|
||
|
|
||
|
o Fix handling of memory allocation errors
|
||
|
|
||
|
o Relicense Ed Hamrick zipio under the MIT license. This should
|
||
|
eliminate any concerns about redistribution of FIGlet as libre
|
||
|
software.
|
||
|
|
||
|
o Update Makefile to meet modern standards in variable naming, using
|
||
|
BINDIR as the pathname for binary files and reservind DESTDIR
|
||
|
as the extra prefix commonly used in package building.
|
||
|
|
||
|
o Add a Turbo C makefile, just because I had the compiler. (this
|
||
|
also tests portability to old compilers and foreign platforms)
|
||
|
|
||
|
o Add Jonathon Abbott's man pages for figlist, showfigfonts and
|
||
|
chkfont originally contributed to the Debian Project

Changes in FIGlet 2.2
|
||
|
---------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
FIGlet 2.2 is a moderate revision of FIGlet 2.1.2. The new features are:
|
||
|
|
||
|
o font files and control files can be compressed using ``zip'', and
|
||
|
will be automatically decompressed
|
||
|
|
||
|
o new commands in controlfiles provide support for
|
||
|
single-byte (default), double-byte, HZ, Shift-JIS, and Unicode
|
||
|
UTF-8 encodings of the input
|
||
|
|
||
|
o ISO 2022 escape sequences are decoded and interpreted
|
||
|
|
||
|
o control files can now have the format of Unicode Consortium
|
||
|
mapping tables (two columns of numbers representing
|
||
|
input character and output character, no ranges, # comments)
|
||
|
|
||
|
o new options -s (smush, same as -m-2), -k (kern, same as -m0),
|
||
|
-S (forced smushing), and -W (full width, same as -m-1) make
|
||
|
-m option unnecessary except for font designers. The -S option
|
||
|
works even if the font's smushmode is 0 or -1, in which case
|
||
|
the smushmode is read from a new parameter in the
|
||
|
font's first line, or does universal overlapping if no such parameter
|
||
|
exists
|
||
|
|
||
|
o universal smushing (-o option to force it, but -S will use it
|
||
|
if no smush rules are available) makes FIGcharacters overlap by
|
||
|
one place independent of how they are constructed
|
||
|
more fonts smushable.
|
||
|
|
||
|
o file "figmagic" can be appended to your system magic number
|
||
|
file to make the "file" command recognize FIGlet files
|
||
|
|
||
|
o file "figfont.txt" is an implementation-independent specification
|
||
|
for FIGlet fonts and control files
|
||
|
|
||
|
o integrated support for extended characters (extended Latin in
|
||
|
"standard", Greek in "big", katakana in "banner", Hebrew in new
|
||
|
"ivrit" fonts) with appropriate controlfiles
|
||
|
|
||
|
o smushing rule 16 has changed slightly: "/\" now smushes
|
||
|
into "|" and "\/" smushes into "Y"; "><" still smushes
|
||
|
into "X" and "<>" is still not smushed at all.
|
||
|
|
||
|
o -A option introduced in FIGlet 2.1.2 is now optional;
|
||
|
if any words appear on the command line after the options,
|
||
|
they are formatted, and the standard input is not read.

Changes in FIGlet 2.1.2
|
||
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
FIGlet 2.1.2 is a minor revision of FIGlet 2.1.1. The files
|
||
|
README, FTP-NOTE, figlet.c and figlet.6 have been changed. All other
|
||
|
files are identical with the 2.1.1 release.
|
||
|
|
||
|
o The only new option is -A, which causes FIGlet to read input
|
||
|
from the command line.
|
||
|
|
||

||
|
Changes in FIGlet 2.1
|
||
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
A number of minor bugs and major incompatibility problems have been
|
||
|
fixed. FIGlet 2.1 should compile correctly on many operating systems for
|
||
|
which FIGlet 2.0 did not.
|
||
|
|
||
|
o The "-F" command line option, which used to list all the available
|
||
|
fonts, has been removed, since it made FIGlet incompatible with some
|
||
|
operating systems. It has been replaced by the "figlist" script. The
|
||
|
"showfigfonts" script has been updated so that it no longer requires
|
||
|
the "-F" option to be available.
|
||
|
|
||
|
o The FIGlet font file format has been extended to allow an arbitrarily
|
||
|
large number of characters. The ISO Latin-1 character set, which
|
||
|
includes many accented letters and special symbols, has been added to
|
||
|
most standard fonts.
|
||
|
|
||
|
o FIGlet can now print right-to-left. This can be specified on the
|
||
|
command line ("-R") or in the font file. Thus, for example, Hebrew and
|
||
|
Arabic fonts can be handled more easily.
|
||
|
|
||
|
o FIGlet can now right justify its output. This is the default when
|
||
|
right-to-left printing is selected. It can also be specified on the
|
||
|
command line ("-r").
|
||
|
|
||
|
o FIGlet now supports "control files". These can be used to change which
|
||
|
character FIGlet will print when it sees a certain input character --
|
||
|
sort of an expanded version of the "-D" option. For example, a control
|
||
|
file could convert lower-case letters to upper-case or map certain
|
||
|
ASCII characters to accented letters. Control file names end with the
|
||
|
suffix ".flc". Select a control file by using "-C controlfile" on the
|
||
|
command line. Several controlfiles can be used at once by giving
|
||
|
muliple "-C" options.
|
||
|
|
||
|
o There is now a way for programs that use FIGlet to get various
|
||
|
information from FIGlet, for example, what version of FIGlet is being
|
||
|
used or the name of the default font directory. This information is
|
||
|
gotten through the "-I" option. See the man page for details.
