CTAN update: xcolor 2.02
by CTAN Announcements 26 Mar '05

26 Mar '05

On Thu, 24 Mar 2005 Uwe Lück uploaded version 2.02 of the package xcolor to CTAN. Xcolor provides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of color tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors. It allows a user to select a document-wide target color model and offers complete tools for conversion between eight color models. Additionally, there is a command for alternating row colors plus repeated non-aligned material (like horizontal lines) in tables. Colors can be mixed like color{red!30!green!40!blue}. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/ Summary description: Driver-independent color extensions for LaTeX and pdfLaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005/03/24 v2.02 * New features: - aftergroupedef command to reproduce aftergroupdef's behaviour prior to v2.01; - xcolor's homepage www.ukern.de/tex/xcolor.html now provides also a ready-to-run TDS-compliant archive containing all required files. * Changes: - owcolors and friends are solely enabled by the `table' option; - @ifxempty changed back to more robust variant of v2.00. * Bugfixes: - psset{linecolor=ifcasefoo redor greenor bluefi} did not work with `pstricks' (error introduced in v2.01). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.
