Changes for version 2.04 - 2009-01-20

  • Fixed a bug in figlet's upper.flc which prevented a-macron from being transliterated to A-macron; and perhaps problems for remaining chars.
  • Fixed test #2 to work on Windows; File::Spec didn't remove trailing /
  • Added testing support for 5.005 in an underhanded way
  • Added work-around to upper.flc for a bug in perl 5.6.1 & 5.6.2
  • Added memory conservation options
  • Fix subtle, previously invisible bug in -D that bubbled up w/ -U=>0
  • Clarify documentation
  • Major speed-up (up to 4x) for loading of sparse fonts.
