Bug#435132: texlive-metapost: Please include latest latexmp version
Package: texlive-metapost
Version: 2007-12
Severity: minor
The version of latexmp included with texlive-metapost, version 1.1.0,
is very outdated. The current version is 1.2.1, released on 7 Apr
2005.
One improvement (fixing what I would consider a minor bug) is that it
handles the origin relative to the bounding box better: by default it
now places the origin where btex..etex would, rather than at the
center of the bounding box. The 1.1.0 behaviour (center of the
bounding box) loses information and makes it very difficult to line up
different textext strings.
