- Tioga 1.18 brings in a few new features. First, Dvector.fancy_read
-is now able to extract pure text columns. Second, a jpg_info function
-has been added that read the width and height from within a JPEG file,
-for use with show_image: you now don't have to know the image size
-beforehand. A load_png function was added that relies on pdflatex to
-read PNG files (except those with a custom palette). Feed the return
-value of load_png to show_image. It is now possible to reuse an image
-over and over again by saving its reference and using itagain.Finally,
-more control over the number of pdflatex executions is now available.
-There are also a couple of bug fixes.

Tioga 1.17 provides all the necessary fixes to have it run on
