Summary description: A LaTeX class for presentations

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the v2.0 release of the talk package for writing presentations in LaTeX.

The distinguishing feature of the talk package is that it supports the definition of an arbitrary number of slide *layouts*, i.e. slides with consistent design but catering for different types of content, and allows the user to switch between them. (For example, you can have a layout without a slide title and use it in situations where you need more space for content.)

This release is a major overhaul of the package:

* The definition / customisation of presentation styles has been greatly simplified by removing the tight coupling with the pgf package. pgf is still a dependency, but new presentation styles can now be defined without using the package directly.

* Hyperlinks (from the hyperref package) now work as expected and the sidebar in the 'talk-sidebars' style is now *navigatable*.

* The package now includes another built-in style called talk-simple.sty which is more suitable for short presentations. This file is also serves as a starting point for building your own styles as in contains a lot of comments on how to ustomise it.

* All built-in styles now use 16:9 aspect ratio for slides.

* Positioning of slide content is now facilitated by the \shiftbox and \twocolumn commands.
