<!--- CircuiTikz - Changelog --->
The major changes among the different circuitikz versions are listed here. See <https://github.com/circuitikz/circuitikz/commits> for a full list of changes.

* 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 `@TheTeXnician` and `@hmenke` on `github.com`.

    - Added a "midtap" anchor for coils and exposed the inner coils shapes in the transformers
    - Added a "curved capacitor" with polarity coherent with "ecapacitor"
    - Added the possibility to apply style and access the nodes of bipole's text ornaments (labels, annotations, voltages, currents and flows)
    - Added the possibility to move the wiper in resistive potentiometers
    - Added a command to load and set a style in one go
    - Fixed internal font changing commands for compatibility with ConTeXt
    - Fixed hardcoded black color in "elko" and "elmech"

* 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 *unless* you used `voltage shift` introduced in 0.9.0, which was broken when using the global `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 `pgfcirc.defines.tex`; so a snapshot for the 0.9.3 version is available.

    - Fixed a bug with "inline" gyrators, now the circle will not overlap
    - Fixed a bug in input anchors of european not ports
    - Fixed "tlinestub" so that it has the same default size than "tline" (TL)
    - Fixed the "transistor arrows at end" feature, added to styling
    - Changed the behavior of "voltage shift" and voltage label positioning to be more robust
    - Added several new anchors for "elmech" element
    - Several minor fixes in some component drawings to allow fill and thickness styles
    - Add 0.9.3 version snapshots.
    - Added styling of relative size of components (at a global or local level)
    - Added styling for fill color and thickeness
    - Added style files

* Version 0.9.3 (2019-07-13)
    - Added the option to have "dotless" P-MOS (to use with arrowmos option)
    - Fixed a (puzzling) problem with coupler2
    - Fixed a compatibility problem with newer PGF (>3.0.1a)

* Version 0.9.2 (2019-06-21)
    - (hopefully) fixed ConTeXt compatibility. Most new functionality is not tested; testers and developers for the ConTeXt side are needed.
    - Added old ConTeXt version for 0.8.3
