post New release: boxes v1.2 2017-03-16 22:40:00 +0100 v1.2

Version 1.2 is out. This release features a minor enhancement to the configuration file capabilities, several bug fixes, improvements to the build, and several new box designs.

  • The boxes configuration file knows a new keyword: designer. This gives us the possibility to distinguish between the person who created the original ASCII art, and the person who made it into a boxes configuration. Despite this change, the boxes config files remain compatible in both directions.

  • Patch by François-Xavier Coudert to enable boxes to be compiled as a 64-bit application on Mac. Boxes is available on MacOS via Homebrew.

  • Patch by Yu-Jie Lin to better close file handles

  • Bug fix by Nic H on OSX where a box size description like x7 was being interpreted as hexadecimal 7

  • Two fixes to the [boxes mode for Emacs]({{ site.baseurl}}/editors.html#emacs) by Jason L. Shiffer in response to bug reports, one fix suggested by Kevin Ryde

  • Bug fix by Salvatore Bonaccorso which had caused the build to fail on Ubuntu

  • New box designs 'tex-cmt' and 'tex-box' by Nic H

  • New box design 'face' by bdimych

  • New box designs 'twisted' and 'scroll-akn' by Tristano Ajmone
