2005/11/12 v2.07
* New features:
    - color model `Hsb' allows to specify hue in degrees;
    - color model `tHsb' (`tuned Hsb') for user-defined hue
      configuration on color wheels;
    - easy generation of color harmonies derived from `Hsb' or `tHsb'
      color wheels, e.g., color{red>wheel,1,12} yields an `analogous'
      color to `red' on a 12-spoke wheel;
    - additional 317 predefined color names according to rgb.txt, which
      is part of Unix/X11 distributions;
    - `svgnames' option extended by 4 colors taken from rgb.txt;
    - enhanced syntax for immediate conversion, e.g.,
      definecolor{foo}{rgb:gray}{0.3} or color[rgb:wave]{478};
    - @ifundefinedcolor and @ifundefinedmodel commands;
* Changes:
    - enhanced documentation;
    - several changes to internal macros.
* Bugfixes:
    - wrong calculation of color series components in some cases of
      negative step parameters.
