I am getting to grips with MetaPost after a long hiatus, so I have not
followed recent developments. I see that the version shipped with
TeX Live 2016 is 1.9991 and that the current maintainer is Luigi.
My questions:

- What is the official MetaPost site (if there is any), with the latest
source (superlec.fr does not seem up to date and I cannot find any
code on CTAN)?

svn at supelec
https://foundry.supelec.fr/scm/viewvc.php/?root=metapost


I should have taken a deeper look. I was misled by the main page:

https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/metapost/

which still reports 1.902 as the latest release.

Thanks!
Nicola

yes, always, otherwise it's an error.

[NTG-context] Info about MetaPost

2016-09-09 Thread Nicola 

Hi,
I write to this mailing list because the MetaPost mailing list has been
silent for a while. I hope it is ok.

I am getting to grips with MetaPost after a long hiatus, so I have not
followed recent developments. I see that the version shipped with
TeX Live 2016 is 1.9991 and that the current maintainer is Luigi.
My questions:

- What is the official MetaPost site (if there is any), with the latest
 source (superlec.fr does not seem up to date and I cannot find any
 code on CTAN)?

- Are there any release notes to know what has changed since version 1.90x?

- I know that LuaTeX uses an embedded version of MetaPost. Is that aligned
 with the stand-alone executable (mpost)?

Thanks in advance,
Nicola
