CTAN update: pgf
by CTAN Announcements 27 Dec '20

27 Dec '20

The PGF/TikZ Team submitted an update to the pgf package. Version number: 3.1.8 License type: lppl1.3c gpl2 fdl Summary description: Create PostScript and PDF graphics in TeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # BREAKING CHANGES If a topath is bent by any of the in=, out=, bend=, etc. options, a Bezier curve is constructed in the background. To infer the positions of the control points the start and end coordinate are converted to absolute coordinates. However, this has the effect that subsequent points on the path think that the endpoint of the topath was absolute which can lead to counter-intuitive path construction, e.g. ```latex draw (2,0) to[out=0,in=180] +(1,0) -- ++(0,-1) -- +(1,0); ``` If old code relies on this behavior, this drawing will silently break! Please open an issue if you rely on this. # Bug fixes This release introduces a fix for path handling which concerns expansion of tokens on the path in particular with respect to conditional. Previously when the expansion of a conditonal resulted in a frozen elax the parser would just give up. Now the parser will skip over the frozen elax and continue to expand tokens. Whether this will result in a meaningful expansion is up to the user. This release also includes other bug fixes. On GitHub you can click the commit hashes and the issue numbers to get to the fix and the ticket, respectively. a4c275704 #952 8a997bbc1 #954 8f37bca84 #962 3cbe5a192 #844 49e5f0a08 #654 17a95e4c5 #966 ad06895a6 #966 79e613ae1 #966 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/base More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
