12 <dt>2005-08-13: PyX 0.8.1 released</dt>
14 This release fixes some bugs in the path module and the output of decorated
15 paths. The fallback for kpathsea was considerably improved in speed (it was
16 unintensionally slowed down in 0.8). The inclusion of the bounding box
17 information in PS and PDF files is now optional. It is suppressed by default
18 when a paperformat is specified. A new path example completes the release.
20 <dt>2005-07-13: PyX 0.8 released</dt>
22 PyX now supports PDF output and also the generation of multi-page PS/PDF
23 documents. The internals of the path system have been cleaned up and the
24 external interface has been streamlined. The axis data handling of the graph
25 component has undergone a major revision. Many other improvements and bug fixes
26 are included in this release.
