Release Notes for MECCA 2000 version 5.29. Feb/7/2017 Fixed: 1. Fixes introduced in v5.28 may result in never-ending loop when looking up "font/styl" combination that doesn't exist on the system (m2kbin, galeyc, pmunu, typdrv, PS). 2. pmunu seg-faulted at arbitrary new-page under "no auto page break" mode (pmunu). Changed: 1. Added \# as the "whole-line comment" marker for batch-compose markup use (exptxt). Anywhere in the markup text, a line that starts with \# will be ignored. Please note: a. "Starts with" means the marker \# can appear after any number of leading white space characters on the line. A "white space" character means one of: Space, Horizontal Tab, and Vertical Tab (newline and carriage-return characters are treated as "end-ofline" markers, so they would never appear as "leading characters" in a line of text). b. Use with caution, as there can be possible ill-effects. For example: \TXT1 font=ge style=n hsize=10p vsize=10p lead=12p \END \* for use as body text \* If the '\TXT1' line gets prefixed by '\#', the entire line is ignored so the "\* for" part will not be noticed, causing the 2nd line "use as "body text \*" to be read as normal input. 2. Added "-i" option to "attempt to ignore error messages" for bcompose and batchcomp (bcompose, batchcomp). In some cases, error messages such as missing fonts may be tolerable and, without such such option, would not be able to run through.
