Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/ Summary description: Driver-independent color extensions for LaTeX and pdfLaTeX License type: lppl
Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005/03/15 v2.01 * New features: - `prologue' option for comprehensive `named' color support in conjunction with `dvips': on-the-fly generation of PostScript prologue files with all color definitions, ready for dvips inclusion and/or post-processing with device-specific parameters (e.g., spot colors); - dvips prologue file xcolor.pro to support additional `named' colors; - colorlet may now also be used to create named colors from arbitrary color expressions; - enhanced color definition syntax to allow for target-model specific color parameters, e.g. definecolor{red}{rgb/cmyk}{1,0,0/0,1,1,0}, facilitating the usage of tailor-made colors both for displays and printers; - `deferred definition' of colors: preparecolor and definecolors enable decoupling of color specification and control sequence generation, especially useful (= memory saving) for large lists of colors, of which only a few names are actually used; - `dvipsnames*' and `svgnames*' options to support deferred definition. * Changes: - higher accuracy: most complement calculations are now exact for all 5-digit decimals; - angeRGB and similar variables may now be changed at any point in a document; - aftergroupdef now performs only a first-level expansion of its code argument; - XCfileversion and similar internal constants removed from .sty and .def files; - improved memory management (reduced generation of `multiletter control sequences' by @ifundefined tests); - several internal macros improved and/or renamed. * Bugfixes: - XC@getcolor could cause unwanted spaces when psset was used inside |pspicture| environments (`pstricks'); - arithmetic overflow could happen when too many decimal digits were used within color parameters, e.g. as a result of `fp' calculations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the update.
