This is a minor maintenance release with the following changes:

tspanelements. - Added support for the new JFM specification introduced in TeX Live r46452 (patch by Hironobu Yamashita).
- Fixed a build error occurred if the Ghostscript development files were missing.
- Fixed a potential memory error regarding option
--cache.

- Some code cleanup.
This is a small feature release that adds optional experimental support for ttfautohint.
ttfautohint usually creates better results than the FontForge autohinter that dvisvgm uses by default if you
call it with option --font-format=woff,autohint, for example. The fonts embedded in the following SVG file were
hinted with ttfautohint:
In order to build dvisvgm with ttfautohint support, you need the ttfautohint library and the corresponding header
files which are provided as of the latest version 1.8.1. A pre-built DLL of ttfautohint for Windows can be found
here. By default, ttfautohint support is completely disabled
and not available in dvisvgm. To enable it, add option --with-ttfautohint to the configure script, and optionally
specify the location of the ttfautohint development files, e.g. --with-ttfautohint=/opt/ttfautohint. Depending on the
configuration results, the ttfautohint library is either directly linked to the dvisvgm binary or looked up dynamically
when running dvisvgm. If ttfautohint support is available, the list printed when calling dvisvgm with option -V1
contains a corresponding entry, as shown in the box on the right.
