%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{\texttt{pstricks.sty} -- \texttt{pstricks-pdf.sty}}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is now a new optional argument for the package: \Loption{ckeckengine}, which will
be used in later versions. 
 
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{\texttt{pstricks-tex.tex}}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This package collects all additional latex macros which must be definied
when running PSTricks with tex.  They all moved from the base \texttt{pstricks.tex} into
this new file.


%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{\texttt{pstricks.tex} (v. 2.93 -- 2019/01/07)}
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


\subsection{Error message}

Using PSTricks with \Lprog{pdflatex} will work only when using package
\LPack{auto-pst-pdf} and running the \TeX-file with

\begin{verbatim}
pdflatex -shell-escape <file>
\end{verbatim}

otherwise you'll get an error message which was misleading in the past:

\begin{verbatim}
[...]
! Undefined control sequence.
<recently read> \c@lor@to@ps 
\end{verbatim}

This changes now to 


\begin{verbatim}
[...]
! Undefined control sequence.
\c@lor@to@ps ->\PSTricks 
                         _Not_Configured_For_This_Format
\end{verbatim}


\subsection{Optional argument \texttt{xetex}}
The output driver \Lprog{xdvipdfmx} for using \XeTeX\  or  \XeLaTeX\ is not fully
compatible to \Lprog{dvips}. Especially some node operations will not work. If the
\LaTeX\  package detects a programm run with \XeLaTeX\ it automatically loads the file
\Lfile{pstricks-xetex.def} which defines some macros with a new name to keep the existing
ones. By now there is only
\Lcs{NCput}, which is the same as \Lcs{ncput}, but works with \XeLaTeX.

If someone wants to use these macros though he/she runs not \XeLaTeX\ then these macros are
available too by using the optional argument \Loption{xetex}:

\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[xetex]{pstricks}
\end{verbatim}
