Sorry.. I'm now straggling to release a new version. In my opoion, I would 
like to release it within a month or so. 
I think the new major feature of the current snapshot is charset directive 
which enables mgp to display iso-8859-[2-4] encoding with truetype fonts.
I hope this feature would be useful for european people.
However, I modified only mgp, so mgp2ps can't handle charset directive yet.
(I feel mgp2ps has lots of points that I have to re-construct. so I may make 
only just a few modification to mgp2ps in 1.08a.)
And If I can, I would like to add an another new feature to mgp in 1.08a.

Thanks,
