+\item Loading the package \texttt{pstricks} by \LaTeX\ will now write a message
+into the file list of file version and date for the file \texttt{pstricks.pro}.
+\item A frequently done error is choosing a file name for the document, which is
+already a name of one PSTricks package, e.\,g. \verb=pstricks.tex=. The error
+message in the log file was not really helpful. There is now an extended message:
+{\small\begin{verbatim}

+ or `pstricks.tex' is a forbidden name for your document,
+ it is already a name of a PSTricks package!

+\subsection{Option \texttt{gridfont}}
+By default the grid labels were printed always in Helvetica. With the new option \verb+gridfont+
+one can define another PostScript Font. Available are
+
+\medskip
+{\ttfamily\noindent
+Helvetica (default) -- Helvetica-Narrow -- Times-Roman -- Courier -- AvantGard --NewCenturySchlbk --
+Palatino-Roman -- Bookman-Demi -- \linebreak Zapf-Dingbats -- Symbol}
+
+\begin{LTXexample}[width=4cm]
+\usepackage{pstricks}
+\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](3,2)
+\end{pspicture}\\[20pt]
+\begin{pspicture}(3,2)
+ \psgrid[style=gridstyle,gridfont=AvantGard-Demi]
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+
+\clearpage
+\subsection{\texttt{linejoin}}
+Connecting lines can be done in several ways and is controlled on PS level
+by the \verb+setlinejoin+ command. With this version of PSTricks it is
+possible to controll this by an optional argument, called \verb+linejoin+.
+It is preset by 0 and can take values of 0,1,2. Other values jave
+no effect.
+
+\begin{LTXexample}[width=4cm]
+\psset{linewidth=3mm,unit=0.8}
+\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](3,2)
+ \psline(0,0)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2)
+\end{pspicture}\\[10pt]
+\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](4,2)
+ \psline[linejoin=1](0,0)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2)(4,0)%
+\end{pspicture}\\[10pt]
+\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](3,2)
+ \psline[linejoin=2](0,0)(1,2)(2,0)(3,2)%
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+\clearpage
+\subsection{\texttt{setlinecap}}
+The value of \texttt{linecap} determines how the line ends are drawn:
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[0] lines are cut (default)
+\item[1] lines are ended by a filled semicircle of radius 0.5$\cdot$\verb+\pslinewidth+
+\item[2] lines are ended by a filled half square of radius 0.5$\cdot$\verb+\pslinewidth+
+\end{description}
+
+The following example shows that using \texttt{linecap} for lines is the same
+than using the arrow option.
+
+\begin{LTXexample}[width=4cm]
+\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](4,4)%
+ \psset{linewidth=5mm}
+ \psline[arrows=C-C](0,3.75)(4,3.75)
+ \psline[linecap=2](0,3)(4,3)
+ \psline[arrows=c-c](0,2.25)(4,2.25)
+ \psline[linecap=1](0,1.5)(4,1.5)
+ \psline[arrows=-](0,0.75)(4,0.75)
+ \psline(4,0)
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+Using this optional argument makes only sense in some special cases, because
+it is the same as the arrow type \verb+c-c+. But the arrows are not part
+of the current path and filling an open curve with the \texttt{linecap} option
+is different to a curve using the \verb+c-c+ arrow.
+
+\begin{LTXexample}[width=3cm,wide]
+\psset{unit=5cm,linewidth=5mm}
+\begin{pspicture}(-0.2,-0.6)(0.2,0.5)%
+\def\curve{\pscurve(-.1,.1)(-.15,.15)(0,.2)(.15,.15)(.1,.1)}
+\rput(0,.2){\psset{arrows=c-c}\curve}
+\rput(0,-.2){%
+ \psset{fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=red,arrows=c-c}
+ \curve}
+\rput(0,-.6){%
+ \psset{fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=red,linecap=1}
+ \curve}
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+
+\clearpage
+\subsection{New arrowtype \texttt{D>} and \texttt{D>D>}}
+All arrows are drawn as polygons. The new arrow type \verb+D>+ or \verb+<D+ for the other way round,
+draws it lines as bezier curves, which looks nicer for big arrows.
+
+\begin{LTXexample}[width=4cm,wide]
+\psset{arrowscale=5}
+\begin{pspicture}(4,2)
+\psline{<D<D-D>D>}(0,2)(4,2)
+\psline[arrows=<-D>,arrowlength=2](0,1)(4,1)
+\psline[arrowinset=0]{<D-D>}(0,0.25)(4,0.25)
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+
+
+\clearpage
+\subsection{Transparent colors}
+The package \texttt{pstricks-add} already defined a fillstyle for
+transparency colors by using the GhostScripts blendmode.
+It now moves into the main \texttt{PSTricks} package, together with
+another possibility for creating transparent colors.
+Transparency is only seen with the PDF output (version 1.4 or greater),
+nearly all PostScript viewer cannot show transparencies.
+
+Loading the \verb+pstricks+ package with the option \verb=vtex=, disables
+the transparency effekts and everything works as before.
+
+\subsubsection{Options \texttt{strokeopacity} and \texttt{opacity}}
+For the existing fill style \verb+solid+ the new option \verb+opacity+
+can be used to get also transparent colors. It is predefined by 1 ($0\ldots1$), which
+is the old behaviour, no transpareny. The option is valid only for PostScripts
+fill commands. Lines and curves can be trabsparent with setting the option
+\verb+strokeopacity+, which can have a different value as for the \verb+opacity+ option.
+
+\begin{LTXexample}[width=4cm,wide]
+\begin{pspicture}[linewidth=1cm](4,4)
+ \psline[linecolor=red](0,0)(4,4)
+ \psline[linecolor=blue,strokeopacity=0.5](0,4)(4,0)
+ \psline[linecolor=green,strokeopacity=0.5](0,3.5)(4,3.5)
+ \psline[linecolor=yellow,strokeopacity=0.5](0,0.5)(4,0.5)
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+
+\begin{LTXexample}[width=4cm,wide]
+\begin{pspicture}[linewidth=1cm](4,4)
+\psline[linecolor=red](0,0)(4,4)
+\pscircle*[opacity=0.5](2,2){2}
+\psline[linecolor=blue,strokeopacity=0.6](0,4)(4,0)
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+
+\begin{LTXexample}[width=4cm,wide]
+\begin{pspicture}[linewidth=3mm](4,5.5)
+ \multido{\rA=0.0+0.5}{9}{%
+ \psline[linecolor=red!40](\rA,0)(\rA,5)}
+ \multido{\rA=0.0+0.5,\rB=0.0+0.1}{11}{%
+ \psline[arrows=<D-D>,linecolor=blue,
+ linewidth=5pt,arrowscale=1.5,
+ strokeopacity=\rB](0,\rA)(4,\rA)}
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{LTXexample}
+

+ \pscircle[fillcolor=cyan,
+ opacity=0.5](1.5,3.5){1.25}
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+
+\clearpage
+\subsubsection{Fill style \texttt{shape}}
+There is now one more fill style for transparent colors: \verb+shape+
+with using the \verb+shapealpha+ value and one of the possible blendmodes:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ /Normal ->0
+ /Compatible ->1
+ /Screen ->2
+ /Multiply ->3
+\end{verbatim}
+
+
+The fill style \verb+solid+ uses
+GhostScripts \verb+.setopacityalpha+ function
+and the new style \verb+shape+ the \verb+blendmode+ together with \verb+.setshapealpha+.
+\verb+shapealpha+ is predefined
+with 0.6 and both alpha values can be chosen from the range $0\le\alpha\le1$.

+\subsection{\CMD{addtopsstyle}}
+\begin{verbatim}
+\addtopsstyle{style-name}{settings}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+This macro allows to add some more settings to an existing style.
+If the style is not defined, then \verb+\addtopsstyle+ behaves like the
+already defined \verb+\newpsstyle+ macro.
+
+\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm,wide]
+\newpsstyle{Fiber}{linewidth=2pt}
+\begin{pspicture}(5,5)
+ \psline[style=Fiber](0,0)(5,1)
+ \addtopsstyle{Fiber}{linecolor=green}

+ \addtopsstyle{Fibber}{linecolor=red}
+ \psline[style=Fibber](0,4)(5,5)
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+
+\subsection{\CMD{psTextFrame}}
+\begin{verbatim}
+\psTextFrame[settings](x1,y1)(x2,y2){Text}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The \emph{Text} cannot have a linebreak. In case it is needed, put the \emph{Text}
+into a \verb+minipage+ or \CMD{parbox}, as seen in the following example. The
+\verb+ref+-option allows different placing and the \verb+rot+-option allows
+the rotating of the \emph{Text}. The macro itself first uses the
+\CMD{psframe} and then \CMD{rput} with calculated coordinates.
+
+
+\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
+\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](0,-0.5)(10,10)
+ \psTextFrame[linecolor=lightgray,ref=l](0,0.5)(4,1.5){Hallo}
+ \psTextFrame[linecolor=blue](2,4)(4,7){\color{blue}Hallo}
+ \psTextFrame[linestyle=dashed](9,9)(10,10){\huge H}
+ \psTextFrame*[linecolor=red,linestyle=dashed](7,7)(9,9){\Huge H}
+ \psTextFrame*[linecolor=red!40,ref=lB](7,4)(9,6){\Huge H}
+ \psTextFrame*[linecolor=blue!40,ref=rt](7,1)(9,3){\Huge H}
+ \psTextFrame[linestyle=dashed](4.5,0)(6.5,10){%
+ \parbox{2cm}{\centering Here comes some more text over several
+ lines, which is also horizontally and vertically centered and
+ written in a parbox.}}
+ \psTextFrame*[linecolor=cyan!20,rot=90](.5,2)(1.5,10){%
+ \parbox{8cm}{\centering Here comes some more text over several
+ lines and rotated by 90 degrees.}}
+\end{pspicture}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+\subsection{Special coordinates}
+
+Additionally to the existing !-operator for PostScript coordinates,
+there is new a *-operator, which invokes the algebraic parser before
+the coordinates are passed to the default !-operator. The syntax
+is pretty easy: \verb=(<value> {f(x)})=. In the following example the
+predefined value of Pi from pstricks.pro is used. The function must be enclosed
+in braces when itself contains round braces.
+
+\begin{LTXexample}[width=5cm,wide]
+\SpecialCoor
+\begin{pspicture}(0,-1)(5,1)
+ \psaxes{->}(0,0)(0,-1)(5,1)
+ \psline(0,0)(*Pi {sqrt(abs(cos(x)))})
+ \psline{<->}(*Pi {cos(x)})(*5 {sin(x)*cos(x)})
+\end{pspicture}

+
+\subsection{Bugfix for \texttt{psmatrix}}
+A long standing bug with psmatrix and using the \texttt{name} option is now fixed.
+The following now works as expected:
+
+\begin{LTXexample}[width=2cm]
+\begin{psmatrix}[rowsep=5mm]
+[name=a]a\\
+[name=b]b\\[1cm]
+[name=c]c\\
+\end{psmatrix}
+\ncline{a}{b}
+\ncarc{a}{c}
+\end{LTXexample}
+
+An optional argument after \verb+\\+ is now scanned in the correct way.
+
+
+\subsection{New option \texttt{pcRef}}
+There is a new option \texttt{pcRef} for the \Lcs{ncangles} connection. By default,
+the reference point for the \texttt{armA} option is the border of the node. This makes
+it difficult, to get horizontically aligned lines for different node images.
+With \texttt{pcRef=true} the node center is the reference point and the connection is
+still drawn from the border of the node.
+
+The first three images show the default behaviour:
+
