[I also increased max_strings to 2000.]

[Note: Neenie found a case where missing pixels can occur, due to
inconsistent rounding between left-to-right and right-to-left subdivision:
pickup pencircle; draw
(0,126)..controls (130.29451,126) and (288,126.00002)
 ..(288,36)..controls (288,143.99998) and (132.97438,144)
 ..(0,144)..controls (0,138) and (0,132)
 ..cycle;
The "right" way to fix this would be to develop a make_spec routine for
non-cycles, and to copy a reversed spec, so that double paths would be
guaranteed self-inverse. However, my later experiments showed that
autorounding wasn't nearly as useful as I had expected it to be, hence I
decided not to waste time beefing up this routine; no satisfactory
automatic approach to rounding occurs to me.]
Version 0.90 [May 10]
486. 180-degree turns to be clockwise for half of doublepath cycles.
487. introduce fillin parameter.
488. `numeric_type' moved before `known', so that print_exp works (Richards).

Version 0.91 [May 13]
490. show_token_list gets null_tally parameter.
491. if bad>0, change the code as in TeX changes 315, 316.
492. batchmode change as in TeX 317.

         *`restoring a bad variable'?
495. put decimal number into gf extension
496. mediation put into scan_primary, so that round .5[a,b] works properly.
497. cubic_intersection now has |tol| to compensate for rounding errors.
498. find_direction_time needs to worry about degenerate case x3=y3=0.
499. crossing_point(a,b,0) now yields fraction_one if a,b>0.
500. diag_round shouldn't insist that b-a is even (see below).
501. macro_call will show_macro with much larger limit.
502. TFM file statistics are logged too.

* Here's an example (found by Neenie) explaining bugfix 500:
autorounding:=2; draw
(7.03159,-9.31831)..controls (12.14732,-9.4386) and (17.4299,-6.82948)
 ..(21.60132,0)..controls (27.47417,9.61507) and (37.87402,15.58647)
 ..(43.74687,25.20154)..controls (51.16223,37.34201) and (57.31,50.171)
 ..(63.45776,63.00002) withpen pencircle;
The missing pixels are due to the following curious circumstances: (1) the
middle cubic splits into three, when subdividing into octants; (2) the reverse
curve splits too but with slightly different rounding, off by 1; (3) the old
diag_round routine, when it ensures that b-a is even, computes aa=a+1 on
one side of the curve, but aa=a-1 on the other side, thus making the
rounding "safe" on only one side. (Namely, on one side we have consecutive
values
  b=1317666 a=1310720
  b=1329617 a=1310721
and on the other side,
  b=-1329618 a=-1310720
  b=-1317667 a=-1310721.)

* Here's an example (by JDH) showing the necessary of bugfix 497:
path p[];
p1 = (1,0)..controls (1,0.10493) and (0.98347,0.20921)
     ..(0.95105,0.30902)..controls (0.91862,0.40881) and (0.8707,0.50288)
     ..(0.80902,0.58778);
p2 = (0,0)..controls (0.63403,0.20601) and (1.26807,0.41203)
     ..(1.9021,0.61804);
show p1 intersectiontimes p2;    % (-1,-1), without `tol'
pickup pencircle;
currenttransform := identity scaled 150;
draw p1; draw p2;
showit;          % but they clearly intersect
Version 0.95 [Aug 12]
503. `Se' changed to `SSE', etc. (suggested by RFS)
504. Inconsisting diagonal rounding was introduced in bugfix 500.

[the following lines from @<Determine the before...@> in diag_round:
    if aa>bb then cc:=dd-half(aa-bb-1)@+else cc:=dd-half(aa-bb+1)
  if a>b then c:=d-half(a-b-1)@+else c:=d-half(a-b+1)
were replaced respectively by:
    if right_type(p)>switch_x_and_y then cc:=dd-half(aa-bb+1)
    else cc:=dd-half(aa-bb-1)
  if right_type(p)>switch_x_and_y then c:=d-half(a-b-1)
  else c:=d-half(a-b+1)
in order to make the rounding consistent on adjacent octants;
the following command caused `this can't happen':
fill (33,7)..controls (32.63094,5.70827) and (32.06163,3.716)
 ..(31.59488,3.36667)..controls (31.10509,3.00009) and (29.14824,3)
 ..(27.85318,3)..controls (27.85286,3) and (23.84952,3)
 ..(23.8492,3)..controls (23.73282,2) and (23.61646,1)
 ..(23.50008,0)..controls (26.66672,0) and (29.83336,0)
 ..(33,0)..controls (33.66667,2.33333) and (34.33333,4.66667)
 ..(35,7)..controls (34.33333,7) and (33.66667,7)
 ..cycle;]

@ Local labels are implemented by maintaining the |skip_table| array,
where |skip_table[c]| is either |undefined_label| or the address of the
most recent lig/kern instruction that skips to local label~|c|. In the
latter case, the |skip_byte| in that instruction will (temporarily)
be zero if there were no prior skips to this label, or it will be the
distance to the prior skip.

558. Allow unprintable file names, as in TeX change 396 (19 Sep 91)
(Much of this is redundant except for people who make nonportable
versions that allow other 8-bit codes to be in variable names---and for
those people only if they allow input of more codes than they can print!
Still, it seems best to make the programs for TeX and MF as alike as possible.)

@y
@d banner=='This is METAFONT, Version $e$' {printed when \MF\ starts}
@z
When this change is made, the corresponding line should be changed in
Volume D, and also on page 31 of The METAFONTbook.
My last will and testament for METAFONT is that no further changes be made
under any circumstances. Improved systems should not be called simply
`METAFONT'; that name, unqualified, should refer only to the program for which
I have taken personal responsibility.  -- Don Knuth
