This release adds support for user-defined file conversion rules,
support for xindy and sam2p, improved fig2dev support, an experimental
cache system, and bugfixes for better parsing of log files, error
reporting (including for BibTeX and Metapost), and handling of verbatim
environments.

Many changes were made in the code's structure.
Several new features were added, including more
intelligent rules for graphics conversion, new
command-line options "-W" to report compilation
warnings, "--only" for partial compilation, and
"--inplace" and "--into" for compiling in another
directory than that of the source file. Several
bugs were fixed.

This release adds support for various LaTeX packages (moreverb, verbatim, hyperref, and beamer) and new post-processors (dvipdfm, gzip compression, expansion of \input and bibliographies). A new command line wrapper provides a filter-like behaviour. Errors are now reported in the style of GNU compilers. Larger documentation in Info format is included.

This version improves the support for graphics generation, notably it now handles combined EPS/LaTeX and understands \graphicspath macros. A notion of directive has been added to put compiling information in the source file, to specify paper type or various paths. It also fixes a few bugs.

This release provides more readable and customizable error reports for LaTeX and BibTeX. It also fixes date computations to avoid some useless compilations, and improves portability.
