Summary description: Drawing (linguistic) trees
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is primarily a bugfix release, with some minor features added,
but it also contains a backwards incompatible change in the interface
decribed below. Don't worry, however: the modified feature has only
been introduced a month ago, in v2.0.0, so you probably haven't
used it yet.
The semantics of the parenthesized optional argument to `forest`
environment has changed. The argument was introduced in v2.0.0:
if present, it redefined `stages` style for the current
environment/macro. This argument is now generalized to allow
further (pre-`stages`) customization in future versions of the
package. To temporarily redefine stages, write (stages={...}).
Note:
The user documentation is in forest-doc.pdf,
not in forest.pdf, which describes the implementation.

Version number: 0.1 2016-02-13
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Saveboxes for repeating content without code
replication, based on PDF Form XObjects
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package defines commands for saving content that can be repeatedly
placed into the document without replicating DVI/PDF code in the output
file, allowing for smaller file size of the final PDF and improved
content caching for faster display in certain PDF viewers. The method
makes use of `Form XObjects' defined in the PDF specification.
The user commands are modelled after the standard LaTeX commands
savebox, sbox, usebox and the `lrbox' environment.
All common TeX engines and back-ends are supported:
* pdfLaTeX, LuaLaTeX
* LaTeX --> dvips --> ps2pdf/Distiller
* (Xe)LaTeX --> (x)dvipdfmx
The user commands are:
* content saving:
xsavebox{<name>}[<width>][<position>]{...}
xsavebox*{<name>}[<width>][<position>]{...}
xsbox{<name>}{...}
egin{xlrbox}{<name>}...end{xlrbox}
egin{xlrbox*}{<name>}...end{xlrbox*}
<name> is an identifier (not a command!) composed of arbitrary
non-active characters, including spaces and numbers. A command for
declaration of <name> does not exist.
Starred `*' variants allow for colour injection (pdfLaTeX/LuaLaTeX
only).
* content insertion (referencing):
xusebox{<name>}
he<name>
The second, short form is useable if <name> is composed of
[a-zA-Z].
The package was written in the LaTeX3 syntax.
