Re: Upload of versions 1.20 of beamer and 0.50 of pgf

On Sat, 17 Jan 2004, Till Tantau uploaded new versions of his beamer and pgf packages.

I installed them in

macros/latex/contrib/beamer

and

/graphics/pgf

respectively. Thanks for the updates.

Changelog is appended.

For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

Version 1.20 of beamer:

• Reorganzed directory structure: new directories base and themes
• Added some explanations in user guide on font encodings and graphic file formats.
• T1 encoding is fully supported now.
• lmodern and fourier fonts are supported now.
• mathrm will always produce roman text now.
• mathbf will produced boldface serif or sans-serif text, depending on the math font selection.
• Added options to include only certain sections in the table of contents.
• Added option to hilight only the current subsection in the table of contents.
• Added inserts for numbering sections in the table of contents.
• Added predefined templates for more fancyful table of contents.
• Shadow theme now uses a numbered table of contents by default. Use eamertemplateplaintoc to get the old behaviour.
• Changed the syntax of frame. Overlay specification must now be given in pointed brackets. (Old syntax is quietly tolerated.)
• Command plainframe has been replaced by frame[plain]. (Old syntax is quietly tolerated.)
• Renamed beamerboxes to beamerbaseboxes and beamertemplates to beamerbasetemplate. They are included automatically, so simply delete an inclusion of the old packages).
• Fixed bug in beamerbaseboxes.
• Uncover now also works for whole lines or passages in tables and alignments, both for completely invisible covered and transparent covered text.
• Item balls/icons now change color inside beamerboxes according to the color scheme.
• Added versioning system for head and toc entries. Will no longer do weird things when left over files from an old version are encountered. (Makes updating a lot easier.)
• Slightly changed LyX stuff to work together with the syntax changes. Still no real documentation.
• Uses version 1.06 of xcolor now.
• Uses pgf 0.50 now.
• Mechanism for alternate selection of images and shading is slightly changed and incompatible with the old one.
• pgf's cvs is now also on SourceForge next to the beamer class.

Version 0.50 of pgf:

• Switched to version 1.06 of xcolor.
• Core pgf no longer relies on xxcolor.
• The syntax of the mechanism for choosing alternate images and shadings is more flexible now. The syntax has been changed (mainly, you now have to have a dot between the original name and the alternate extension).
• Some xxcolor commands have been removed.
