Version 1.4.1 (2021-07-14)
This version has an important bug fix for label positioning when
once-relative style coordinates are used (the ones with a single
\texttt{+}, like \texttt{+(1,1)}. Moreover, the possibility to have
voltage, current and flow labels \emph{without} the symbols (arrows,
etc) has been added, which greatly simplify some kind of
personalization of these elements.
\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
Added the generic tunable macro
\item
Added \texttt{no\ v\ symbols} (and also for \texttt{i} and
\texttt{f}), thanks to a
\href{https://github.com/circuitikz/circuitikz/issues/567}{head-up
by user judober on GitHub}, see also
\href{https://github.com/circuitikz/circuitikz/issues/448}{issue

position for +() style coordinates}
\end{itemize}
\item
Version 1.4.0 (2021-07-06)
The main news is that \emph{package rollback} for \texttt{circuitikz}
has been implemented (LaTeX-only, of course). Additionally, a small
but important change in the path (\texttt{to}) construction that
should fix some warning from Ti\emph{k}Z and give better line joins in
wire corners.
\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
bump version to 1.4.0
\item
implement the version rollback: time travel to 0.4!
\item
remove a wrong movement in the path construction (potentially
dangerous)
\end{itemize}
\item

version 1.3.6 (2021-05-09)
Mainly a bugfix release; fixing a bug in the \texttt{l2} stacked
labels means that old constructs that were failing silently can give
an error now. Sorry. To compensate, I added stacked annotation (for
symmetry).
\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
Added stacked annotations for symmetry with stacked labels.
\item
Fixed a bug in the plotting of \texttt{inst\ amp\ ra} terminals.

\item
Version 1.3.5 (2021-05-02)
Power electronics devices are the main characters in this release:
PUT, GTOs, a new style for thyristors, and a photovoltaic module.

by JetherReis})
\end{itemize}
\item

documentation to better explain the reasons and effect of the
path-building changes of 1.2.0 and 1.2.1.
\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item

Version 1.2.2 (2020-07-15)
Bug-fix release: coordinate name leakage. The node and coordinate
names are global; the internal coordinate names have been made
stronger.
\item
Version 1.2.1 (2020-07-06)
Several changes, both internal and user-visible. These are quite
risky, although they \emph{should} be backward-compatible (if the
circuit code is correct).
From the user point of view:
\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
there is now a new style of voltages (``raised American'')
\item
a powerful mechanism for customize voltages, current and flows has
been added.
\end{itemize}
The internal changes are basically the re-implementation of the macros
that draw the path elements (\texttt{to{[}...{]}}), which have been
completely rewritten. Please be sure to read the possible
incompatibilities in the manual (section 1.9).
\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
Added access to voltages, currents and flows anchors
\item
Added ``raised american'' voltage style
\item
Rewrite of the path generation macros
\item
Several small bugs fixed (no one ever used some
``f\^{}\textgreater{}'' options\ldots{})
\end{itemize}
\item
Version 1.2.0 (2020-06-21)
In this release, the big change is the rewriting of the voltages
output routine. Now all voltage options (american, european, and
straight) take into account the shape (square border) of the
component. The adjusting parameters are now (at least for passive
elements) acting in similar way for all the options, too.
\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
Bumped version number to 1.2 (potentially incompatible changes!)
\item
Added 1.1.2 checkpoint
\item
New path-style not, buffer, and Schmitt logic ports

New tutorial (using the ``inline not'' component)
\item
Voltage output routine rewrite; now it takes into account the shape
of the component also for ``american'' and ``straight'' voltages
\item

name, added symmetry to the three-style shorthands for the ports,
and so on
\item
Fixed a gross bug in square poles anchor borders
\item
Fixed size of not circles in flip-flops (based on logic ports style)
\item
Fixed the order of initial options, to avoid ``european''
overwriting single options

One-line bugfix release for the IEEE ports ``not'' circle thickness
\item
Version 1.1.0 (2020-04-19)
Version bumped to 1.1 because the new logic ports are quite a big
addition: now there is a new style for logic ports, conforming to IEEE
recommendations.
Several minor additions all over the map too.

\end{itemize}
\item

noticing and reporting, and to Schrödinger's cat for finding a fix)
\item
fixed a nasty bug for the flat file generation for ConTeXt
\end{itemize}
\item
Version 1.0 (2020-02-04)
And finally\ldots{} version 1.0 (2020-02-04) of \texttt{circuitikz} is
released.
The main updates since version 0.8.3, which was the last release
before Romano started co-maintaining the project, are the following
--- part coded by Romano, part by several collaborators around the
internet:
\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
The manual has been reorganized and extended, with the addition of a
tutorial part; tens of examples have been added all over the map.
\item
Around 74 new shapes where added. Notably, now there are chips,
mux-demuxes, multi-terminal transistors, several types of switches,
flip-flops, vacuum tubes, 7-segment displays, more amplifiers, and
so on.
\item
Several existing shapes have been enhanced; for example, logic gates
have a variable number of inputs, transistors are more configurable,
resistors can be shaped more, and more.
\item
You can style your circuit, changing relative sizes, default
thickness and fill color, and more details of how you like your
circuit to look; the same you can do with labels (voltages,
currents, names of components and so on).
\item
A lot of bugs have been squashed; especially the (very complex)
voltage direction conundrum has been clarified and you can choose
your preferred style here too.
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
A detailed list of changes can be seen below.
\begin{itemize}
\item
Version 1.0.0-pre3 (not released)
\begin{itemize}
\tightlist

The important thing in this release is the new position of
transistor's labels; see the manual for details.
\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
Fix the position of transistor's text. There is an option to revert
to the old behavior.
\item
Added anchors for adding circuits (like snubbers) to the flyback
diodes in transistors (after a suggestion from @EdAlvesSilva on
GitHub).
\end{itemize}
\item
Version 0.9.6 (2019-11-09)
The highlights of this release are the new multiple terminals BJTs and
several stylistic addition and fixes; if you like to pixel-peep, you
will like the fixed transistors arrows. Additionally, the transformers
are much more configurable now, the ``pmos'' and ``nmos'' elements
have grown an optional bulk connection, and you can use the ``flow''
arrows outside of a path.
Several small and less small bugs have been fixed.
\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item

\item
Added the possibility to style each one of the two coils in a

\end{itemize}
\item
Version 0.9.5 (2019-10-12)
This release basically add features to better control labels, voltages
and similar text ``ornaments'' on bipoles, plus some other minor
things.
On the bug fixes side, a big incompatibility with ConTeXt has been
fixed, thanks to help from \texttt{@TheTeXnician} and \texttt{@hmenke}
on \texttt{github.com}.
\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
Added a ``midtap'' anchor for coils and exposed the inner coils
shapes in the transformers
\item
Added a ``curved capacitor'' with polarity coherent with
``ecapacitor''

bipole's text ornaments (labels, annotations, voltages, currents and
flows)
\item
Added the possibility to move the wiper in resistive potentiometers
\item
Added a command to load and set a style in one go
\item
Fixed internal font changing commands for compatibility with ConTeXt
\item
Fixed hardcoded black color in ``elko'' and ``elmech''
\end{itemize}
\item
Version 0.9.4 (2019-08-30)
This release introduces two changes: a big one, which is the styling
of the components (please look at the manual for details) and a change
to how voltage labels and arrows are positioned. This one should be
backward compatible \emph{unless} you used \texttt{voltage\ shift}
introduced in 0.9.0, which was broken when using the global
\texttt{scale} parameter.
The styling additions are quite big, and, although in principle they
are backward compatible, you can find corner cases where they are not,
especially if you used to change parameters for
\texttt{pgfcirc.defines.tex}; so a snapshot for the 0.9.3 version is
available.
\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
Fixed a bug with ``inline'' gyrators, now the circle will not
overlap
\item
Fixed a bug in input anchors of european not ports
