Happy New Year from the Platypus team!

Version 0.2.4 of Platypus is now available for download at: http://platypus.hosted.phplist.com/lists/lt.php?id=Mh8LTAZNVA%3D%3D This release is a bug-fix upgrade for a few code defects and some important omissions in the documentation.

*Fixed:*

- Fonts in PDF's: Occasionally, italic or bold text would appear in lieu of the expected font; some exceptions on loading font;

- URLs with cover text in PDFs: Some links were not showing up correctly in the PDF files.

- Font directory files: Errors could occur in configuration files that tell Platypus where font files are located on the system.

*Documentation*:

- Added omitted details of the ways of embedding URLs.

- Added omitted discussion of how to specify additional directories to examine for fonts for PDF files. This is particularly useful for Linux and UNIX-based systems, where fonts are placed in many separate directories.

If you're generating PDF documents, we strongly suggest you upgrade to this new version. *

In the next release*:

- graphics (JPG and GIF files)

- color text and color background

- full HTML support

- ability to specify that paragraphs should not be split across columns or pages

- other features that we can fit in.
