+\item \textbf{Version 1.4 (03/07/2011):} The code for the \CMDn{psaxeslabels} macro is updated to accommodate for cases when one of the two axes lines has length zero. The code for \CMDn{pspole} is updated due to the new changes in the \PKG{pst-node} package. The new key \KWDn{afac} is added to the \CMDn{psadaptive} macro.

 \item \textbf{Version 1.3 (06/18/2010):} In the \CMDn{pstick} and \CMDn{psTick} macros, the tick angle is either directly specified by the user or set by the \KWDn{angle} key when unspecified. The \KWDn{ticklength} key refers to the entire length of a tick, not half of it. The new key \KWDn{killzero} is added to the \CMDn{psstem} macro. In the \CMDn{psldots} and \CMDn{ldotsnode} macros, the angle of dots is either directly specified by the user or set by the \KWDn{angle} key when unspecified. Two new macros \CMDn{psadaptive} and \CMDn{psknob} are added. The new keys \KWDn{framewidth}, \KWDn{frameheight}, and \KWDn{FillColor} are introduced.
 
 \item \textbf{Version 1.2 (01/15/2010):} Five new macros \CMDn{pstick}, \CMDn{psTick}, \CMDn{pssignal}, \CMDn{ldotsnode}, and \CMDn{ncstar} are added. The macros \CMDn{pshtick}, \CMDn{psvtick}, \CMDn{pshTick}, and \CMDn{psvTick} are not available any longer since their functionalities are carried out by the newly defined macros \CMDn{pstick} and \CMDn{psTick}. Codes for the macros \CMDn{pscircleop}, \CMDn{psframeop}, \CMDn{psldots}, and \CMDn{nclist} are updated. Four new keys \KWDn{gratioWh}, \KWDn{gratioWv}, \KWDn{gratioHh}, and \KWDn{gratioHv} are added that allow frames with edges proportional by the golden ratio. The global round-cornering settings are removed because of their undesired effects in other packages. Hence, the option \KWDn{notelegant} is not available any longer. Instead, the new style \KWDn{RoundCorners} is introduced. The styles \KWDn{BraceUp}, \KWDn{BraceDown}, \KWDn{BraceLeft}, and \KWDn{BraceRight} are not available any longer. Instead, the macros \CMDn{psBraceUp}, \CMDn{psBraceDown}, \CMDn{psBraceLeft}, and \CMDn{psBraceRight} are defined. The option \KWDn{pstadd} is not available any longer. If the package \PKGn{pstricks-add} is loaded, the relevant styles are automatically defined. The macros \CMDn{RE}, \CMDn{IM}, \CMDn{sRE}, and \CMDn{sIM} are not available any longer because of their irrelevance to the objectives of the package.

-The \CMD{psstem} macro plots the sequence defined by \List* that is a comma-separated list of numbers. As shown in Figure~\ref{subfig:psstem:sample}, if $\List* = n_1, n_2, n_3, \dotsc$, then \CMD{psstem} draws vertical lines (stems) at $x_0, x_0 + \Delta, x_0 + 2\Delta, \dotsc$ on the horizontal axis with heights $n_1, n_2, n_3, \dotsc$, respectively. \emph{It is important to remember that both $x_0$ and $\Delta$ must be integers.}\footnote{If you need to use non-integer values, then use the \KWD{xunit} key to arbitrarily choose any real value.} In case their values are not explicitly given, they are assumed $x_0 = 0$ and $\Delta = 1$. The stem ends are determined by the \KWD{stemhead} key. The \CMD{psstem} macro is also capable of numerically tagging the stems. As depicted in Figure~\ref{subfig:psstem:tag}, the tag of every stem is placed either below or above it depending on whether the corresponding number in the sequence is nonnegative (positive or zero) or negative, respectively. The distance of tags to stems is determined by the \KWD{labelsep} key. In some cases (e.g., when the stemhead is \texttt{>}), it is desirable to remove stems with zero heights. The key \KWD{killzero}, when used, removes such stems. The keys specific to the \CMD{psstem} macro are summarized in Table~\ref{tab:psstem}.

-This macro is used to generate a circle node centered at \Coor* and labeled \Node* that represents a zero of a system. It could also be used to generate several circles, all centered at \Coor*, representing high order zeros as shown in Figure~\ref{fig:pszero}. The radius of innermost circle is \KWD{zeroradius}, and it is incremented by \KWD{zeroradiusinc} for high order zeros. The line-width of all circles is determined by the \KWD{zerowidth} key. The key \KWD{order} determines the order of the zero. The key \KWD{scale} can be used to scale up or down the radius of the innermost circle, the radius increment, and the line-width of all circles.
