Summary description: Generate animated SVG diagrams with TikZ
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
svg-animate is a new LaTeX package for producing step-by-step animated SVG 
diagrams with TikZ. Animations are implemented as SMIL keyframes embedded in the 
SVG output, so they run natively in any web browser with no JavaScript and no 
external dependencies.
The animation model is simple: a TikZ picture is divided into discrete steps, 
and each element is revealed or hidden at specific steps via instantaneous 
opacity transitions. The same source file produces both an animated SVG (via 
latex + dvisvgm) and a clean static PDF (via xelatex or lualatex), making it 
suitable for web publishing and print from a single source.
Key features:
- \begin{animate} / \reveal / \animstep — minimal, intuitive interface
  - Per-step durations, looping or one-shot playback
  - Multi-step and range visibility (step={1,3-5})
  - Blinking elements with configurable amplitude (blink=)
  - Static fallback for PDF output (\noanimate, static key)
  - Cascading options from global to per-element level
Requirements: PGF/TikZ >= 3.1.9, dvisvgm >= 2.9, TeX Live 2022+ or MiKTeX 22+.
