\title{\texttt{PSTricks -- version 1.14}\\new macros and bugfixes for \texttt{pstricks}}
\author{Herbert Voß\thanks{%

\date{\today}

\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
This new version of \texttt{pstricks.tex} depends on the also new prologue file
\texttt{pstricks.pro} (v 1.00), which should go into the local \TeX-directory \url{$TEXMFLOCAL/dvips/}.

\section{Color handling}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new color package \verb+xcolor+ has a lot of interesting features, but it needs
some modification to the code of \verb+pstricks.sty+ and \verb+pstricks.tex+. The
package \verb+pstricks.sty+ superseded the old package \verb+pstcol.sty+, which is
now obsolet. The version on CTAN now does nothing else as loading \verb+pstricks.sty+.

There are some important facts for using colors inside PSTricks with \LaTeX:

\begin{itemize}
\item load always \verb+pstricks+ as first package;
\item use always the \LaTeX\ syntax for defining colors and \textbf{not} the PSTricks own one.\\
    \verb+\definecolor ...+ is the correct setting!
\item do not use the PSTricks style for using color, use always \verb+\color{<name>}+.
\end{itemize}

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Missing star version}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\verb+\psdot*+ and \verb+\psdots*+ are now supported by PSTricks. Both were missing
in the old versions.
