Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The previous version defined bond graph junction symbols using
btex...etex in a package file, making it impossible to affect the LaTeX
preamble used for these labels without changing the package file. The
fix is not backward compatible, but adds requested flexibility.
The asymmetric arrowhead on a bond can now be drawn as a simple stroke.
