To simplify the maintenance of both the website and the program code, I rebuilt the former wiki-based website with a static site generator and moved everything to GitHub Pages. The site is now reachable under the new domain dvisvgm.de.

The old SourceForge (dvisvgm.sf.net) and bplaced (dvisvgm.bplaced.net) addresses now redirect to the new location. Since I’ve kept the page structure, all former URLs should still be valid. If you find a page, a resource, or link that doesn’t work, let me know.

This feature release brings the following additions/changes:

• Added special pdffile similar to psfile to embed PDF graphics.
• Added option --pdf to convert single-page PDF documents to SVG:
  

  $ dvisvgm –pdf -d2 helix.pdf
  processing PDF file
    graphic size: 597.51pt x 845.05pt (210mm x 297mm)   
    output written to helix.svg
  file converted in 1.61882 seconds
  

• Reassigned short option -P from --progress to --pdf.
• Added option --stdin to receive input from stdin. Alternatively, a single dash can be used as well:

  $ dvisvgm -d2 - < frktest.dvi
  reading from <stdin>
  pre-processing DVI file (format version 2)
  processing page 1
    graphic size: 398.34pt x 456.34pt (140mm x 160.39mm)
    output written to stdin.svg
  1 of 1 page converted in 0.0790408 seconds
  

• Option --stdout can now be combined with option --zip to redirect SVGZ data to stdout.
• Added processing of Ghostscript operators .setshapealpha and .setblendmode that allow for conversion of more transparency parameters, e.g.:
• Fixed outer transformations applied to psfile specials.
• Fixed computation of bounding boxes triggered by psfile specials.
• Several code refactorings.

This is a small maintenance release with the following changes:

• Added the evaluation of PostScript operator setpagedevice in psfile specials. This enables the conversion of a broader range of EPS files created with dvips which sometimes contain this operator although not allowed according to the EPS specification.
• Fixed the evaluation of dvips color names.
• Fixed the warning message printed when using Ghostscript as of version 9.23.

This is another maintenance release with the following changes:

• Fixed an error message printed when addding a single dash on the command-line.
• Added a missing data file that lead to failing tests (issue #87).
• Updated the bundled brotli library to version 1.0.3.
• Some code refactorings.

This is a minor maintenance release with the following changes:

• Fixed a wrong behavior when requiring both default mapfiles and pdf:mapline or pdf:mapfile specials.
• Fixed an exception thrown in rare cases of unavailable font files.

This is a minor maintenance release with the following changes:

• Prevent the creation of redundant tspan elements.
• 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.

• Fixed the width of characters slanted by a mapfile entry (issue #82).
• If ttfautohint fails for a font, dvisvgm now uses the unhinted font and prints a corresponding warning message.
• 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:

$ dvisvgm -V1
