Description July Tikhonov 2020-07-05 07:55:13 UTC
Looks like dvisvgm have made a couple of releases. I have copied ebuild from 2.7 to 2.9.1 and it seems to install and work. At least, it allows `asy -f svg` to run.

A quick glance at the news reveals, among other changes:
(in 2.9 section)
- updated bundled xxHash library to version 0.7.3
(in 2.8 section)
- added support for Ghostscript 9.50
- updated potrace to version 1.16
- updated xxHash to version 0.7.2
- updated gtest to 1.10

(not sure whether potrace and xxHash versions are even relevant, because dvisvgm bundles them?)

Also, upgrading to dvisvgm-2.9.1 apparently fixed this annoying behaviour for me:

(it was introduced with Ghostscript 9.50, it seems).
