-I am happy to announce version 3.0.0 of TikZ/pgf. After several years
-of development work in the background, a new version is finally ready.
-
-The big jump in the version number from 2.10 to 3.0.0 is due to the
-fact that a lot of new stuff has been added to TikZ (since the last
-version, over a thousand lines have been added to the change log...)
-and over a hundred bugs have been eliminated. However, care was taken
-to make sure that in normal circumstances all old code will still
-produce the exact same results as it used to.
-
-Since it is impossible to list all the changes and improvements since
-the last version in this announcement, let me just point out some
-hilights:
-
-- Arrow Tips: The code for specifying and using arrow tips has been
- completely rewritten. You can now configure the appearance of arrow
- tip "to death" and do so on the fly. Arbitrary arrow tips will now
- even bend along curves since TikZ can now do curvilinear
- transformations on a very low level.
-
-- Syntax Improvements: A lot of small things have been added and
- improved in the syntax. For instance, nodes can be in front of
- paths, but now also behind them. There is the new notion of a "small
- picture" called a "pic", which is something of a mixture of a node
- and a picture, making it easy for normal users to create
- configurable, reusable graphics.
-
-- A Syntax for Graphs: Creating a larger graph used to require a large
- number of node and edge commands and, possibly, some foreach
- loops. Now there is a new simple syntax for this, borrowed from the
- GraphViz program, that makes it very easy to specify graphs and
- especially trees in a convenient manner.
-
-- Graph Drawing Algorithms: TikZ now comes with a large and powerful
- system for computing the positions of nodes of graphs automatically
- (you need LuaTeX for this, though). A number of common algorithms
- have already been implemented, making it very easy to draw graphs
- now. Also, it is rather simple to implement new graph drawing
- algorithms.
-
-- Data Visualization: There is now an alternative to pgfplots as part
- of the standard TikZ installation for creating plots. While pgfplots
- is still the more mature system, the new data visualization system
- comes with some interesting new ideas.
-
-- Driver Support: Support for all mayor backend drivers has been
- improved. A new, cool thing is the support for dvisvgm, which
- allows you to create powerful SVG graphics directly from TeX,
- including the text. This support also open the door to interactive
- and animated graphics in future versions since SVG makes it very
- easy to animate arbitrary parts of a graphic.
