This message is to announce the release of the latest version of the
Linux port of dvgt 3.51l3. To use it, you will need a working version
of SVGAlib.
The new features in this version of the Linux port include:
+ You have the option of either using plain vgalib calls,
which work on almost all hardware, or using gl graphics
calls, which can be much faster.
+ Scrolling is much smarter. Instead of repainting the entire
screen, dvgt will only redraw what it has too.
+ MakeTeXPK is much less likely to get confused by switching
virtual consoles now (thanks to ashtray for this patch).
+ The man page has been cleaned up and expanded.
Try this version out, even if you have had trouble with dvgt before.
It should now work on a much larger broader range of machines.
