XeTeX version 0.6 is available for download at
http://scripts.sil.org/xetex
or an i-Installer package is available at
http://scripts.sil.org/pub/packages/xetex.ii2
(use File/New from URL... in i-Installer to open from this location).
Changes:
- more accurate positioning of text using AAT fonts (using a
workaround for an ATSUI text layout positioning bug)
- scaling and rotation options to \XeTeXpicfile and \XeTeXpdffile
modified for better compatibility with LaTeX graphicx package
- new \specials for rotation and scaling of arbitrary material:
\special{x:gsave}
\special{x:grestore}
\special{x:scale X Y} % X and Y are decimal scale factors
\special{x:rotate D} % D is rotation in degrees
The sample files will be updated soon to include examples of these; not
sure if I'll get that posted today, though.
As always, feedback (even bug reports) welcome!
