Changes for version 1.06

  • Renamed Changes CHANGES
  • Touched up man pages, added (undocumented) support for -h and --help to the scripts
  • Major cleanup, fixed many translucent bugs, it's amazing if it was even "working" ;-)
  • Fixed a bug that failed on relative paths to fonts with -f
  • Added showfigfonts.pl utility, it's exposes the slowness of loading fonts (working on it, thangs wog and jryan)
  • Fixed extended character support, subsequently reducing memory requirements (in a fashion)
  • Deprecated -demo, use the charmap.pl utility instead
  • Added $REVISION to figlet.pl and minifig.pl
  • Modified switch parsing in figlet.pl and minifig.pl, perl -s is no longer used. Support for standard figlet switch syntax was added so now you can say -m0 or -m=0 or -m 0. Of course this means you can say things like -m-0 and -m -0 which may look a little odd.
  • Made figlet.pl and minifig.pl use strict
  • Fixed -w=1, I believe this was broken in 1.04 when I kludged wrapping. I also did some work on wrapping in general and there should be no more issues.
