Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This MetaPost package provides macros to typeset
text along a free path with the help of LaTeX,
thereby preserving kerning and allowing for 8-bit
input, e.g., accented characters.
Changes:
 * Renamed macro textpathVar to textpathFont.
 * Added macro textpathRaw, that supports typesetting
   mathematical formulae along a path.
 * Added configuration variables
     textpathRepeat,
     textpathStretch,
     textpathHSpace,
     textpathShift,
     textpathFancyStrokes,
     textpathStrokePrecision,
     textpathCureSqrt.
 * Added more documentation and examples.
