Release notes for version 1.1 of the dvipng package:

This program makes PNG graphics from DVI files as obtained from TeX and its 
relatives.

This release adds t1lib support, which is good when installing with teTeX. 
A man page is also now included. Finally color special support has been fixed, 
and a few build issues.

dvipng has gained its own project on SourceForge, so starting from now, 
that project will be the main distribution point. 
                                                                 
It has been tested to a fair degree. Note the disclaimer in the COPYING file. 
Report any bugs you find, see README for instructions.
