	- RELEASED 1.6.1

2012-08-23 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- fixed incompatibility lualatex, shader=interp, and german package

2012-08-22 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- RELEASED 1.6 on sourceforge (only)

2012-08-16 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- fixed support for scopes inside of axes

	- fixed (re)scaling of view normal

2012-07-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- fixed bug: 'nan' values in error bar values caused compilation errors.
	Now, error bars for unbounded coordinates are skipped.

2012-06-24 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- spent a considerably amount of attention to 'axis equal' in 3d:
	it works correctly now and the underlying scaling algorithm is much more powerful.
	This is backwards compatible with 2d axis equal (but not 3d as this was
	plain wrong)

2012-06-16 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- provided a suitable legend for quiver plots

2012-06-10 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	caused number range problems. The point meta data is now clipped to [0,1000]

2012-05-06 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- fixed bug: create on use for error bar columns did not work
	- fixed bug: view dir was rescaled incorrectly 
	this is a regression; it was not in 1.5.1
	- added feature 'hist/density' (thanks to Juernjakob Dugge for this contribution!)

2012-05-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- fixed 'scale mode=scale uniformly': intermediate results needed to be computed by FPU
	- fixed bug: 'colorbar style={ymode=log}' was not processed properly

2012-04-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	work properly in 3d (also affected \addplot3 graphics)

--- the following lines are from a feature branch.
2011-10-02 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- the 'clip=plots individually' has been renamed to 'clip mode=global|individual'
	and 'clip mode=global' is the new default. It is, however, not
	completely implemented for custom drawing commands
	
2011-10-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- fixed bug in recent version: the 'cell picture' was always active
	- added support for 'set layers' inside of a pgfplots axis
	- 'axis on top', together with 'activate layers', will now implicitly call 'set layers=axis on top'

2011-09-18 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- rewrote layer support to be more compatible with pgf and added
	systematic support for layers, including a useful default configuration

2011-09-14 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- added feature 'cell picture=true|false|if necessary'

2011-09-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- added feature 'clip=plots individually'

2012-04-21 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- fixed bug: explicitly provided unit vectors + '* dir=reverse' did not work
	- improved smith charts docs + provided more styles

2012-04-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- fixed bug: lualatex and shader=interp have been incompatible.
	I implemented proper binary encoding in lua.

2012-04-02 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- fixed bug: 'linear regression/variance' key did only work if 'linear
	regression/variance src' was active as well. Now, it works also without.

2012-04-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- added 'contour/levels' key.

2012-03-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added support for 'mesh/interior colormap name,shader=interp'
	it uses shader=faceted interp

2011-10-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	was not respected correctly
	- fixed bug in 'mesh/interior colormap name': z buffer reversals have not
	been respected.

2011-10-02 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- added 'mesh/interior colormap thresh'

2011-09-28 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- renamed 'mesh/background colormap name' to 'mesh/interior colormap name'

2011-09-28 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- fixed bug: there was a case were 'shader=faceted interp' was
	unnecessarily converted to triangles 

2011-09-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- fixed bug: the view direction was not scaled properly.

2011-09-26 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- worked on 'mesh/background colormap name'. It works partially for
	'disabledatascaling', although it reveals that the view direction is
	imprecise.

2011-09-26 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- fixed bug: 'patch to triangle' for rectangles produced inconsistently
	oriented triangles

2011-09-25 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- implemented draft for 'mesh/background colormap name'. 
	I think it works, but it might be useless because the sampling methods do
	not produce proper normal vectors.

	- documented 'execute at begin axis' 

2011-08-22 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- fixed bug: 'raw gnuplot' surface input did not work well because
	pgfplots used 'samples' and 'samples y' to assign the input matrix
	dimensions

2011-08-10 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

		- gnuplot 4.4 worked, but not if the temporary gnuplot fails contains
		a directory.
		Both is fixed now.
	
2010-07-20 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- implemented ybar with these macros
	- reimplemented key filter such that it allows plot handlers. (might break
	compatibility with existing images; recompile many old documents to check
	it)

	position.
	- fixed bug: named nodes inside of groupplots produced infinite loop

2010-04-22 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- plot gnuplot: restored support for the '/tikz/parametric' option: it did only work if
	one provided the prefix '/tikz/' explicitly
	- plot gnuplot: parametric plots now use the SAME dummy variables as plot
	expression. If you write variable=\x, 'x' will be the gnuplot variable. If
	you write variable y=\y, 'y' will be the second gnuplot variable.

2010-01-02 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Released version 1.3

	- documented |nodes near coords| and the starred variants for scatter
	plots.

2009-10-26 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	much
	- fixed buggy 'hide x axis': it lead to removal of *y*tick marks and grid
	lines.

	posed naming conflicts (and are perhaps useless anyway).

2009-10-20 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	
	- It is now possible to access all table columns as long as |\addplot
	table| is working. Possible occurences are coordinate filters or point

	- rel axis cs now invokes the math parser.
	- added 'restrict expr to domain'

2009-10-14 Nick Papior Andersen <zerothi@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Added a MakeFile for the test folder. One can use
	this for compiling sections individually. I.e.:
		* make pgfplotstest.libs.groupplots.tex
	would yield only typesetting of the groupplots 
	test section.
	- Currently it cannot handle more than one section at a time
	although it can process the whole by calling:
		* make all
		* make test
		* make pgfplotstest.pdf
	which are all equivalent!

2009-10-13 Nick Papior Andersen <zerothi@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Changed documentation for units and groupplots library
	- Updated code of groupplots with filtering keys

2009-10-13 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added a new library which can group plots.
		* \usepgfplotslibrary{groupplots}
	- a new environment \begin{groupplot} has been created
	- within the environment a command \nextgroupplot[<option>]
	can be used.
	- groupplots can easily typeset several plots in a matrix
	style so that they are aligned
	- it is possible to limit the tick labels to one side of
	the matrix, be it x tick labels at only the top row or 
	the bottom row. Or the y tick labels only at the first or 
	last column, on the left or the right, respectively
	- a quick documentation for the new library has been
	introduced
	- \usepgfplotslibrary has been modified such that it 
	detects loaded files from \usetikzlibrary

2009-09-25 Nick Papior Andersen <zerothi@users.sourceforge.net>

	- restructured the reference manual file. All files:
		* pgfplots.reference.<name>.tex
	was in the old pgfplots.reference.tex file

2009-09-25 Nick Papior Andersen <zerothi@users.sourceforge.net>

	- changed the surfshading library name to be consistent with the
	new names. In conjunction the drivers of the surfshading library
	has been changed accordingly.
	- the unit library has a more customizable usage of typesetting units
	- the unit library automatically sets units on when loaded
	- updated the documentation according to changes done in unit library
	- the command \usepgfplotslibrary now loads both:
		* "tikzlibrarypgfplot.<lib>.code.tex"
		* "pgflibrarypgfplot.<lib>.code.tex"
	- added the environment \begin{pgfplotslibrary}...\end{pgfplotslibrary}
	to the manual which shows how the user can import a library. 
	Displaying the following:
		* \usepgfplotslibrary{<lib>}
		* \usetikzlibrary{pgfplots.<lib>}
	- updated the doc to use the above command where needed

2009-09-24 Nick Papior Andersen <zerothi@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added backwards compatibility for the libraries, i.e. recreated
	old files with only contents '\use...library{<package>}'
	- added the command \usepgfplotslibrary which should be used
	if users wants a clearer vision of where libraries are loaded from
	- moved the unit test into proper location

	- fixed bug: the \pgfplotspointaxisorigin was not clipped properly,
	resulting in number too large bugs.

2009-09-23 Nick Papior Andersen <zerothi@users.sourceforge.net>

	- changed the names of some of the files in the package. Namely:
		* doc/latex/pgfplots/pgfplots.reference.units.tex -> doc/latex/pgfplots/pgfplots.libs.units.tex
		* tex/generic/pgfplots/libs/tikzlibrarydateplot.code.tex -> tex/generic/pgfplots/libs/tikzlibrarypgfplots.dateplot.code.tex
		* tex/generic/pgfplots/pgfplots.units.tex -> tex/generic/pgfplots/libs/tikzlibrarypgfplots.units.code.tex
		* tex/generic/pgfplots/pgfplots.stackedplots.code.tex -> tex/generic/pgfplots/pgfplotsstackedplots.code.tex
		* tex/latex/pgfplots/libs/tikzlibrarypgfplotsclickable.code.tex -> tex/latex/pgfplots/libs/tikzlibrarypgfplots.clickable.code.tex
	This is done to be more consistent in naming convention. As old "pgfplotsclickable" and "dateplot"
	libraries has changed names former versions are not compatible. This should in some way be fixed.
	- updated the doc according to the new name convention
	- updated the "pgfplots.core.code.tex" to use the new names
	- changed the unit to a library and moved it to "libs" in manual
	- added a "mkdir" command in the MakeFile such that the user who has
	just downloaded the package doesn't need to make the "gnuplot" directory by hand

	- fixed table loading: the NL character was present as a space after each
	read line, which made col sep!=space buggy
	- fixed manual bugs

2009-09-20 Nick Papior Andersen <zerothi@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added the label units. It is now possible to add units in the labels such
	such that it can easily be maintained and edited.

2009-07-08 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added sanity checking for non-existing colormaps

2009-07-07 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed bug with 'mesh/ordering=colwise'

2009-07-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added 'sloped like [xyz] axis' key for label alignment,
	- added '[xyz]ticklabel cs' coordinate system,
	- added 'near [xyz]ticklabel' anchor for every node

2009-07-02 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed a bug related to the 'sqrt(num points)' thing for mesh plots (the
	check for rounding errors did not work as expected).
	- fixed bug in auto-scan line computation for plot table: it counted also
	the header line with column names.

2009-06-29 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed a bug in the 'meta min/meta max' handling: the arguments have not
	been parsed correctly (the bug is not that old)

2009-06-25 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added style 'every 3d description' and changed option processing such
	that description style changes are applied as soon as the axis' dimension
	is known (2d or 3d).

2009-06-24 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed treatment of 'scan line length' for some plot table special
	issues.

2009-06-22 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- using '/tikz/variable=\t' now also defines the shorthand function 't'
	ATTENTION: this requires the most recent PGF CVS version!
	- added temporary family for /tikz/variable to fix its usage in pgfplots'
	axes

2009-06-17 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	
	- added draft for 'sloped' feature for axis labels
	- improved the special anchor label alignment: it does not respect the
	current transformation matrix (I renamed it to 'near ticklabel')

2009-06-16 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- improved sanity checking for short-hand styles for legend placement
	- improved sanity checking for surfshading lib
	- started to write code for label placement + backwards compatibility
	switches. It is not complete yet.

2009-06-15 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	
	- improved interface for mesh/surface plots.

2009-06-11 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added |no marks| key and updated docs.
	- added short-hand styles for legend placement.

2009-06-10 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed shift transformations provided to an axis - these did not work
	previously [requires recent pgf version].
	- improved colorbar implementation
	- added 'ticklabel style' alias to 'tick label style'
	- improved support for pgf 2.00 backwards compatibility

2009-06-09 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- besides a lot of manual improvements, I have also fixed the |point meta min|/max 
	processing such that they work properly for the general case and for
	special cases.
	- implemented a user interface to draw arbitrary boxes in 'plot graphics'.
	- added small optimizations to key setting procedures.
	

2009-05-30 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- documented and improved the expression+table input method

2009-05-29 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed the 'ticklabel cs' for 2D plots - it queried 3D stuff which wasn't
	initialised.

2009-05-28 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed correct implementation of |overlay| for tick labels - my recent
	changes required bounding box modifications and disabled that.
	- Provided a (sophisticated) fix for the problem with legend styles:
	now, it is possible to set 'legend image code' in \addplot AND the legend
	remembers the draw modes correctly.
	- to do this, I used 'current plot style' here - which handles key paths,
	draw modes and all that stuff correctly.
	- added legend image for mesh/surface plots

2009-05-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed a (stupid) bug in the processing of skewed/rotated axis unit
	vectors (|x| or |y| keys). It is now processed correctly.
	- added sanity checking for stacked plots: now, an error message is raised
	if the number of points of successive stacked plots does not match.

2009-05-26 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed the implementation of 'current axis' for unfinished axes - it did
	not work since the rewrite of alignment features.
	- moved the declaration of the 'current axis' leight weight node before
	the processing of stored plots. This means it is possible to reference it
	in path/plot commands.
	- fixed the '\addplot+[  black]' bug - the white space doesn't hurt any
	longer.
	- \ref now works properly inside of moving arguments (as \caption) without
	the need of explicit \protect ion.

2009-05-25 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added 'reverse legend' feature, thanks to Tom Cashman for the
	implementation!

2009-05-22 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- now I remembered why `legend image code' did process its arguments in a
	separate scope -- and I restored it (and documented the change).
	Now: the plot style is activated before `legend image code' is evaluated.
	This allows to redefine `legend image code' inside of plot styles.
	- fixed bug: the re-using of outer normal vector did not work properly

2009-05-20 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed the default 'legend image code' things - they also needed to be
	changed.
	- added tolerances to tick placement code: now, tick labels are placed if
	they are no more than 0.05pt beyond the axis limits. The threshold can be
	configured.
	- improved manual section for tick docs: introduced subsections and moved
	special stuff into a "fine tuning" section.

2009-05-14 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed 'legend image code' - it did not provide the argument as
	documented.

2009-05-08 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Restructured the manual. Now, the "command reference" and "option
	reference" has been merged into one large "reference". 
	The new stuff should be easier to navigate.

2009-05-02 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- changed 'ticklabel pos' initial value to 'default'.
	- added '[xyz] dir={normal,reverse}' keys (work correctly for 2d, 
	not yet for 3d)

2009-04-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed several bugs which have been introduced in the latest changes

2009-04-24 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	
	- added |preproc/expr| style to table package.
	- added |fonts by sign| style to table package.

2009-04-21 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed broken '[xyz] tick scale label style' keys

2009-04-20 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Added the |value|, |abs value|, |upper| and |lower| options to enlarge limits.

2009-04-17 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added public API commands \pgfplotspointouternormalvectorofaxis,
	\pgfplotspointoutsideofaxis and the same for the ticklabelaxis.

2009-04-17 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added 'rel axis' coordinate system.

2009-04-14 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Moved sanity checking for end-of-scanline autocompletion out of standard
	plots.

2009-04-13 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- updated error bar implementation: it works now also for 3D plots and it
	is a more efficient.
	ATTENTION:
		*********this requires the PGF CVS version of 2009-04-13 or newer!*****
	- added support for end-of-scan-line markers for 'plot coordinates' and
	'plot file': empty lines end a scan line.
	This allows mesh input without explicitly providing 'rows' or 'cols'.

2009-04-09 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added a style for string symbols as input coordinates.

2009-04-08 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- `legend image code' now also evaluates pgfplots options. furthermore, it
	can be changed inside of options for \addplot.

2009-04-07 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added /pgfplots/colormap access=map|direct key.
	- simplified input format of colormaps
	- changed the anchors. Now, all anchors use the BOUNDING BOX of the axis
	instead of local coordinates. This does also work for 3D and for skewed or
	reversed axes.

2009-04-06 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- table package: improved handling for empty cells in create column
	statements. An empty cell will be considered as 'zero'.
	- fixed axis cs for 3D case
	- incorporated tick dimensions into 3D axis scaling (approximately as
	before for 2D axes)

2009-04-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed surface shading problem: both, pdftex and dvips now produce useful
	results and the resulting pdf/ps documents can be processed by
	ghostscript and standard viewers.
	Switching to BitsPerCoordinate=24 fixed the problem.
	

2009-04-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added public interface \pgfplotsmathviewdepthxyz and
	\pgfplotsmathfloatviewdepthxyz inside of an axes.
	- added 'point meta=<expr>' feature: \addplot[point meta={x+y+z},scatter] ...
	- removed the optimizations for the binary output sub-package - they did
	not work at all.
	- updated the manual examples for the new view parameters
	- finished the clip-path implementation so far. It appears to work
	correctly.
	- implemented first semi-correct first of surfshading and dvips driver.
	However, it works only after converting the ps to pdf :-( 
	The backwards conversion pdf->ps fails with limitcheck as before.

2009-04-02 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- re-enabled error bars and fixed bug
	- fixed newly introduced optimization of the binary output sub-package: it
	lead to an infinite loop :-(

2009-04-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- disabled error bars temporarily - one of my latest changes caused
	problems.
	- added 'cube/size [xyz]' for the cube markers
	- fixed bug in cube and cube*
	- Changed semantics of 'view'. It is now 'view={<azimuth>}{<elevation>}' 
	as in matlab.

2009-03-31 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- improved 3D plot tick label alignment issue

2009-03-30 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- found bug in error bar implementation - but I don't know where it comes
	from yet.

2009-03-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- implemented expression plotting features inside of 'plot table' for the
	plot from structure method as well.

2009-03-26 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added (first draft with) support for expressions in 'plot table', for example
	\addplot table[x expr={\coordindex},y expr={\thisrow{std-L2} * \thisrow{maxlevel}}] {regtable};

2009-03-25 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added support for \coordindex inside of marker streams (interesting for
	scatter plots).

2009-03-23 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed the new placement of ticks such that is also works for 2D plots.
	It will also work for reversed axes. alignment is still not functional.

2009-03-22 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- implemented proper placement for 3D axis tick positions.
	Alignment is prepared, but not functional yet.

2009-03-21 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added some internal methods to distinguish foreground and background in
	3D axes - required for a better placement of ticks and for the axis labels
	anyway.
	- Added image externalization for some expensive examples to improve manual 
	compilation speed. 

2009-03-20 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- renamed the 'z buffer=sort coordinates' choice introduced yesterday to
	'z buffer=sort'. I'll take care that it yields useful results.
	- fixed bug in the new option processing - some /tikz options were
	important during \addplot, but since the new strategie silently ignores
	/tikz options, I needed to add exceptions.
	- added implementation for z buffer=sort and mesh plots
	- allowed 3D line plots + mesh handler
	- optimized new option processing
	- changed default shader to faceted

2009-03-19 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added \pgfplotsarraysort
	- added |z buffer=sort coordinates| for use with scatter plots (not very useful for
	any other plot type yet)

2009-03-17 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- the point meta now always uses floating point routines internally; the
	case distinctions have been eliminated.
	- added keys 'point meta rel=axis wide|per plot' and 'point meta min' and
	'point meta max'.
	- added 'create col/' search path to table package.

2009-03-16 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added "cube" and "cube*" markers for 3D axes.
	- added 'unique' row predicate which suppresses multiple occurances of the
	same key in one designated column.

2009-03-13 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- introduced to use rows=cols=sqrt(N) if neither rows nor cols is provided
	in a mesh plot.

2009-03-10 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- improved 'view' processing for 3D axes.

2009-03-06 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed decoding bug of interp shader: now, acroread is able to read it!

2009-03-05 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- provided several 3D examples in the manual and fixed corresponding bugs
	in parameterized 3D plots.

2009-03-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- found and fixed encoding bugs in binary conversion. The surface lib now
	produces visually correct results - although acroread is still complaining
	and doesn't show anything :-(

2009-03-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	
	- wrote further basic level table access commands.
	- surf shading now understands the colormap. Fixed bugs in mapping of
	dimen registers
	- startet primitive heuristics for z buffering of mesh/surf plots in the
	|mesh/z buffer| key.
	- added fast prepend list

2009-02-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- first semi functional version with bilinear interpolation shading (gouraud)

2009-02-26 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added public methods for access to table elements [untested and undocumented
	so far].
	- added pgfplotslistset [untested]
	- worked on binary encoding for signed integers

2009-02-24 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed enlarge z limits functionality (was broken)
	- provided 3D examples in reference manual.
	- improved alignment of 3D tick labels slightly
	- changed semantics of enlarge limits=auto for 3D plots

2009-02-23 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- The draw,fill bug introduced in the latest changes of 2009-02-20 appears
	to be fixed now. Nevertheless, I'll need to revise those changes.
	- the \label bug which also occured in this change is now fixed as well
	- fixed manual typo

	- implemented functionality 'mesh/ordering' and 'mesh/flat mode={corner,mean}|.
	- plot[mesh] works now also for 1D case.

2009-02-22 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- The processing of draw options and behavior options still causes a lot
	of overhead- and even bugs. At least the manual compiles now.
	Maybe that wasn't my best idea...

2009-02-20 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- changed complete processing of 'draw options' and 'behavior options'.
	They are now the same, no special treatment is necessary.

2009-02-19 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- implemented first functional mesh - and surface plots (the latter with
	flag shading). 
	The user interface is lacking, however. And, of course, there will never
	be a real renderer - but it looks really good (up to the bugs)!

2009-02-17 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- provided some more code documentation
	- improved axis vector initialization for 3D plots
	- provided low-level interface commands and a corresponding section in the
	manual.
	- implemented tick label positioning for 3D axes. It works up to orthogonal special
	cases.

2009-02-16 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Released version 1.2.2 (bugfix release for CTAN)

2009-02-16 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	
	- fixed overlay bug in conjunction with pgf 2.00 and legends

2009-02-14 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- improved compatibility with french babel settings: the manual compiles
	now even with special chars activated. Added section in FAQ

2009-02-13 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed bug in color map key.
	- introduced scaling section in manual
	- documented 'only marks'
	- colormap now accepts 'rgb255'
	- added more colormap styles.
	- added 'mark=text' which draws arbitrary TeX content as plot marks 

2009-02-12 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Released version 1.2.1 (bugfix release for samples key)

2009-02-12 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed nasty bug: the 'samples' key did not work! One needed to provide a
	domain as well...

2009-02-11 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed bug with axis [xy] line*=none

2009-02-10 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- improved sanity checking for 'scatter src'.

2009-02-08 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- improved low level lists: \pgfplotslistforeachungrouped can now be
	nested.
	- fixed bug in \pgfplotstablecopy
	- added \pgfplotstablevertcat

2009-02-07 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added algorithm for automatic scaling of 3D plots (when used with the
	view option). 

2009-02-05 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added 'plot graphics' feature.

2009-02-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Released version 1.2

2009-02-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- improved sanity checking in table package.
	- fixed max/min implementation for fpu

2009-02-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	
	- patched key paths for plot file and plot table. One could not provide
	options with key path /pgfplots. This will need a little bit more
	attention later-on, see todo.txt.

2009-02-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- removed missing character warnings
	- fixed bug with domain processing for plot gnuplot.
	- fixed bug in FPU : fpu+pgf 2.00 is problematic with unary minus signs

2009-01-29 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- provided backwards compatibility for the domain and |samples at| key:
	the tikz variants are used by default now.

2009-01-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- manual improvements: fixed several typos in the manual; improved section
	about alignment and section about upgrade remarks.
	- manual improvements: replace a lot of gnuplot examples with 'plot
	expression' commands.
	- fixed the broken |axis equal| feature - it collided with the tickmin/max
	processing. The tickmin/max is now processed somewhat different
	- removed (some of the) 'no pt in nullfont' log warnings
	- now, every input file will be protocolled to the log file (only).

2009-01-24 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	
	- re-implemented |domain|, |samples| and |samples at| keys. They are now
	independ of the |/tikz/| variants - and provide the complete data range of
	pgfplots.
	- fixed missing \endgroup in plot gnuplot (in the case that -shell-escape
	was not available)
	- fixed small bug with empty-plot-special case and tickmin/max resetting

2009-01-21 Pascal Wolkotte <wolkottept@users.sourceforge.net>

	- implemented '[x|y]tick[min|max]' option

2009-01-20 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed bug: 'scatter/classes' couldn't be provided as behavior option.

2009-01-16 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- improved fault tolerance of |scatter/classes|.
	- fixed scoping bug with plot markers

2009-01-12 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- implemented \pgfplotstablesave
	- \pgfplotstabletypeset and \pgfplotstabletypesetfile are now the same;
	the input format is autodetected.


2009-01-07 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- implemented simple test for 'samples at' vs. 'domain' 
	- implemented 'table/create col/set list' style
	- implemented a method to create new tables from scratch
	- implemented some more postprocessing routines for table package

2009-01-06 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed bug in clickable lib: logarithmic scales in x axes have not been
	processed properly.
	- now, the logarithmic sampling won't be applied for parametric plot
	expressions. Furthermore, it has been optimized.
	- improved compatibility between FPU and fixed point library inside of
	pgfplots

2009-01-05 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- both, plot gnuplot and plot expression now sample their points
	logarithmically if the x (y) axis is logarithmic.

2009-01-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- the fpu is now used automatically for plot expression and for the table
	create col/expr feature. However, it will be disabled during the low-level
	drawing commands of pgfplots. I rewrote some of the internals to avoid
	problems with the low data range of tikz (for example during domain
	processing).

2008-12-31 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	
	- improved FPU support

2008-12-30 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added backwards compatibility switches for my new PGF library FPU.

2008-12-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed some issues with stacked plots and skewed axes
	- fixed a lot of manual typos and mistakes, thanks to Jeremie Knuesel!
	- Greatly simplified notation for |plot expression|.
	- introduced |\addplot gnuplot| as alias for |\addplot function|.

2008-12-17 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added |create col/expr accum| style: a variant of |expr| which now
	allows simple accumulation of columns
	- added a |date type| style based on the pgf calendar package

2008-12-14 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- provided a further improvement for empty plot handling: the normal
	processing is now applied for empty plots, with special handling for the
	named start/end coordinates.
	- improved future compatibility with FPU: just in case it moves to a
	separate library, I will check for such a thing.

2008-12-07 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- there was a bug with minorgrids auto-deactivation which has been fixed.
	- fixed a 'plot function[domain=..]' bug introduced yesterday
	- floating point methods now don't use 'fp' for mantisse computations if
	the fixed point lib is used

2008-12-06 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- scatter will now assign a mark if none is set.
	- empty plot bug has been fixed.
	- using xmode in wrong context leads to error message.
	- xticklabel pos now accepts 'top' and 'bottom'
	- manual has more compact index: I removed the '/pgfplots/' and '/tikz/'
	collections. 
	- improved index formatting.
	- re-implemented plot expression's sampling method. The PGF \foreach
	statement does not allow sampling domains beyond PGF's native math parser,
	the new implementation does also support the 'fp' package (combinded with
	the associated PGF library).
	Efficiency is expected to be higher than the previous \foreach
	implementation.
	- Provided a specialized processing of the |domain| argument for plot
	function which avoids the pgf math parser. Now, plot function provides the
	full data range of gnuplot.


2008-12-05 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- improved sanity checking for plot coordinate syntax; empty lines in plot
	coordinates are now processed correctly.
	- added alias for 'sample' key. It can now be provided as argument to axis
	environments.
	- added |no markers| shortcut style.
	- Added documentation for interrupted plots (for example for
	discontinuities in plots)

2008-12-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- updated docs. 
	- Fixed bug when there are less legend entries than plots.
	- added 'forget plot' option (and 'every forget plot' style)
	- made '/pgfplots/domain' option a public key alias to '/tikz/domain'

2008-12-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed a remaining bug with 'axis equal'
	- fixed bug in pgfplots/tikz search path code

2008-11-30 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added keys 'axis equal' and 'axis equal image' to get the same length
	for each unit vector.

2008-11-28 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- optimiziation of \pgfmathfloattofixed yields 7% time savings for
	pgfplotstest. For plots with many points it will be even more.

2008-11-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added '/pgfplots/refstyle={label}' key.
	- added 'read completely' key.
	- fixed bug with error bars: some of the latest changes must have been
	during sleep.
	- eliminated 6 dimen registers.

2008-11-24 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- document bounding box modifications with 'overlay' option of pgf.
	The examples require the latest CVS version of pgf, because pgf 2.00 has a
	bug here (overlay and matrizes).

2008-11-23 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added 'scaled ticks=manual' feature. It allows complete control
	over the scaled tick algorithm and scaled tick label placement.
	- improved support for french language, i.e. for active ';' and ':'
	characters. The manual does not compile completely if switched to french,
	but it is not much.
	- updated pgfplotstable such that it can be adopted to more general tasks.
	As example, html file output has been added to the manual.

2008-11-22 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	
	- the clickable lib can now be used independently of pgfplots.

2008-11-21 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- improved compatibility between pgfplotstable and colortbl: \rowcolor
	and dec sep align (sci sep align) now works properly.
	- Added 'every col no <index>' style as alias for 'display columns/<index>'.
	- provided error message if \pgfplotstablerow is used in the wrong
	context.
	- improved pgfplots documentation.
	- improved pgfplotstable documentation
	- 'sci sep align' and 'dec sep align' now only enable math mode for their
	numbers, not for empty columns.

2008-11-18 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added error bar adjustments for 'ybar' style
	- fixed bug: error bars are now drawn after the main path

2008-11-11 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed missing code portion for scatter and log plots
	- added 'view' option which allows to specify pitch and yaw for definition
	  of a 3D viewport (definition of x,y and z unit vectors of PGF).

2008-11-10 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- documented default values of cycle lists.

2008-11-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- prepared more code for 3D-axis drawing. It is growing now and won't take 
	long for good-looking 3D figures.

2008-10-30 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- used 'y domain='<empty> as feature for \addplot3 (\x,\x,\x):
	this will sample from a line, not from a surface.

2008-10-29 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- implemented user interface to manually place 2D/3D tick LABELS (docs
	missing).
	  The next step is to predefine them automatically for 3D plots.

2008-10-28 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- renamed 'scatter plot' keys to 'scatter'
	- improved scatter plot user interface (not yet documented in parts)
	- implemented input methods for scatter coordinates (not yet documented)
	- worked on 3D axis generation.

2008-10-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Implemented colormaps.
	- Implemented scatter plots.

2008-10-25 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Fixed a bug introduced in latest changes: 'tick align' produced wrongly
	positioned tick labels.


2008-10-23 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Fixed a bug related to auto-tick placement and special cases of the
	scaling transformation.
	- Documented the new freedom in axis unit vector placement, reversed and
	skewed axes.
	- Introduced optimization for orthogonal axes.

2008-10-21 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added 'copy' and 'sqrt' features to table package.


2008-10-20 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Revised all new routines such that the 2D framework is running again.
	  All 2D tests appear to be ok.
	  The 3D stuff is neither documented nor ready, although early things
	  work. In the moment, it is only slowing things down, see todo.
	- Updated clickable lib to work with the new framework.
	- Removed remaining plain TeX '\loop' commands

2008-10-14 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Restored state of 2008-09-25 because something did not work and I don't
	have a stable version yet.
	- Updated compatiblity for pgf 2.0: inserted 'min exponent for 1000 sep'
	into compatibility files

2008-10-12 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- implemented input routines for 3D plots using \addplot3:
		- coordinates,
		- gnuplot,
		- file,
		- table,
		- expression.
	- updated coordinate streaming methods to work with 3D data.
	  I also cleaned and optimized the 2D code.
	  -> stacked plots and error bars do not reflect this yet!
	- added 'plot function[<further behavior options>]' which are merged
	together with those after 'plot[<behavior options>]'

2008-10-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- implemented first running 3D axis with orthogonal projection.
	  Most features work, especially tick placement, grid lines, tick label
	  placement. Some detail decisions of how to things look pretty have to
	  be done and realized. Scaling does not work yet and there are still
	  plenty of open problems. The user interface for setting views is crual.

2008-10-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed bug related to 'current axis' and origin anchors which occured
	  if axis limits have been restricted manually and axis descriptions
	  employed origin anchors.
	- continued the change to logical coordinates.

2008-10-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- changed internals to use logical coordinates consistently.
	- Added feature 'x={(10pt,-3pt)}, y=-1pt'; allowing
		- skewed axes,
		- reversed axes,
		- rotated axes,
	  as preparation for 3d plots.

2008-09-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- optimized number processing and log computations. Logs are now a factor
	of 3.8 faster.

2008-09-25 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Provided options to manually configure the tick scaling algorithm:
	either 1/10^<exponent> or 1/<real>  can be configured.
	- Added check for PGF 2.00 availability

2008-09-23 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Placed all drawing commands for plots and markers into separate scopes
	to end the effect of 'fill opacity' and 'dotted' styles.
	FIXME: check whether this affects any named nodes and such!

2008-09-21 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Improved compatibility with figure-environments. I had to turn
	"hidden=false" to fix this incompatiblity. I hope this does not produce
	visible artefacts... needs to be checked.

2008-09-17 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added 'include outfiles' option to table package, together with 
	'force remake'

2008-09-16 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed spacing bug in table package.
	- outfile and debug feature of table package now produce proper newlines.

2008-09-11 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added error messages if the table typeset features rely on LaTeX
	packages (array,booktabs) which have not yet been loaded.

2008-09-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added 'clear infinite' postprocessor to table package.

2008-09-02 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- re-implemented minimum and maximum computation because the PGF math
	parser interface has been changed. The changes are backwards compatible
	now.
	- fixed a bug in logarithm computation.
	- fixed some bugs related to the pgfplotsclickable library

2008-09-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Provided sanity checking for gradient computation in table package:
	division by zero now leads to empty cells.

2008-08-22 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Added pgfplotsclickable library which displays point coordinates when
	clicking into the plot region (acrobat reader only; relies on acrotex
	bundle)

2008-08-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Release 1.1

2008-08-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Added a library for abstract types of input coordinates (for example
	dates).

2008-08-02 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- change 'every axis grid' default style to 'thin,black!25'. This is less
	intrusive than 'help lines'.
	- fixed small bug in tick routines: they did not account for tikz drawing
	modes so 'draw=none' was ignored.
	- fixed context test cases
	- Improved manual

2008-08-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added several aliases for style keys. Something like 'x tick label
	style' always requires manual lookups while 'xticklabel style' is at least
	consistent with the 'xticklabel' key.

2008-07-30 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added environment 'pgfplotsinterruptdatabb'
	- fixed bug in |minor tick num|
	- fixed bug in alias feature of table package.

2008-07-29 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added |xtick pos| and |ytick pos| keys and |[xy]ticklabel pos|


2008-07-28 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed bug in 'plot table' optimization: did not allow for 'alias'ed
	columns.

2008-07-26 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- improved manual
	- provided better default key-paths such that '/pgfplots' can be omitted
	in many places.
	- Added \label / \ref support. Now, single plots can be referenced and
	\ref{label} inserts the associated legend image.

2008-07-25 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- markers are now drawn separately, after the clipped range. Instead of
	clipping their *paths*, their positions are clipped: a marker is either
	drawn completely or not at all.
	- The option 'clip marker paths' can be used for backwards compatibility
	- added |axis on top| key for area plots: in this case, axis descriptions
	are drawn on top of plot graphics.

2008-07-24 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Now, plot table{<file>} has linear runtime.
	- implemented fast low-level lists also for errorbars.

2008-07-18 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- I worked on the coordinate lists and finally got linear runtime.
	In fact, the idea of Till turned out to be the most effective one (although 
	it is only preasymtotically linear).
	- This makes the aftergroup-stack variable unnecessary. 
	- Some aspects are missing,	but I hope I can fix them soon.

2008-07-16 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- replaced tikz-drawing commands for plots with basic layer commands.
	Gain: about 12% faster than before!
	- added |use aftergroup stack as fast list| to allow O(N) time for large scale plot
	commands, given appropriate safe stack parameters of TeX.
	 

2008-07-15 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- implemented support for axis limits of order up to 1.0e+-2147483644

2008-07-14 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Added support to simplify access the previous row during create table column
	statements. Added one more numeric column creation style.
	- added 'exp sep align' and improved 'dec sep align'.

2008-07-12 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- modified axis label placement for 'axis [xy] line' variations.
	  I think it's ok now...
	- documented how to get multiple y axis
	- modified log plot tick generation algorithm, I forget something
	yesterday.

2008-07-11 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed log plot tick generation if the axis range is extremely small.

2008-07-09 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- moved a lot of directories and files around to better match the TeX
	directory structure (TDS)
	- used 'every mark' style for mark options - allows to append style
	options.

2008-07-08 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added 'postproc cell content' feature to table package
	- added 'preproc cell content' feature to table package
	- fixed plot limit bugs arising in special situations

2008-07-07 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- improved several things in table package
	- partial limits are now supported, for example 'xmin=4' or 'ymax=15'
	- improved empty axis range handling
	- modified transformations to avoid 'number too large/small' errors
	- enlargelimits respects partial limits
	- evaluated 'every axis plot' and 'every axis plot no <number>' in
	\addplot commands, allowing not only style options but also behavior
	options.


2008-07-04 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- implemented title, xlabel and ylabel as direct keys in pgf, allowing to
	add suffixes or prefixes to already assigned values.

2008-07-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added default styles for non-boxed axis lines. This is more or less
	experimental up to now and may still change.

2008-07-02 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed small issues in pgfplotstable manual
	- eliminated one dimen register and one count register

2008-07-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Added semicolon to gnuplot invocation to fix the strange behavior of
	windows gnuplot.

2008-06-30 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- solved the problem of arrow heads and different styles for axis *lines*.
	Not quite satisfactory, because one needs to choose between closed paths
	and clean edges on the one hand and separate arrow heads or styles on the
	other hand. See the documentation for details.

2008-06-29 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- wrote some styles for the 'create col' framework, namely to compute
	piecewise gradients and quotients from one row to the next.

2008-06-28 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Wrote a \pgfplotstablecreatecol command to generate new columns in a
	quite general fashion.

2008-06-27 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- renamed the last change from 'column/{[index]5}/.style' to
	'display columns/5/.style' because it was not consistent.
	- implemented code to balance rows in typeset table routines.
	The first column is the measure, all other ones will be forced to
	match its row count.
	- documented new features.
	- added |hide x axis| and |hide y axis|.
	- added |enlarge x limits| and |enlarge y limits|.
	- Added key |legend entries|.

2008-06-26 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added column/{[index]5}/.style and 'column indizes/5/.style'
	- added 'select equal part entry of' style

2008-06-25 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added warning when loading tables '#1.tex' instead of '#1'.

2008-06-24 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- improved error recovery: empty plots are now discarded silently
	- added column 'alias' feature for tables
	- optimized code for grid line, tick line and tick label generation and
	replaced tikz commands by basic layer commands. 
	pgfplots is now 36% faster!
	- changed drawing sequence of axis lines and tick/grid lines. Now, tick
	lines are no longer drawn on top of axis lines.
	- introduced aliases 'axis y line=middle' and 'axis x line=center'
	- added named node 'current axis' which provides anchors 'origin', 
	'above origin', 'left of origin', 'right of origin' and 'below origin'
	-> this allows improvements of the non-boxed axis variants
	- added those anchors also to the normal anchors.
	- added styles 'every inner [xy] axis line'
	- added styles 'every outer [xy] axis line' [untested]
	- added command keys 'inner axis line style', 'outer axis line style' and
	'axis line style'

2008-06-18 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- improved ConTeXt compatibility

2008-06-17 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed incompatibility between 'plot function' and german active "
	character

2008-06-11 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Released version 1.0

2008-06-11 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added boolean |row predicate| to select table entries.
	- added macro |\coordindex| inside of \addplot to allow index based
	  coordinate filters.
	- added style keys |/pgfplots/skip coords between index| and
	  |/pgfplots/table/skip rows between index|
	- added style |dec sep align| for table typesetting.

2008-06-10 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Fixed several warnings in manual
	- reimplemented |minor tick num| as style which sets the [xy] variants

2008-06-09 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Replaced |xfilter| and |yfilter| by code keys |x filter/.code={...}| and
	|y filter|. Backwards compatibility is checked. Added docs.

2008-06-09 Pascal Wolkotte <wolkottept@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Added |minor x tick num| and |minor y tick num| option
	- Adjusted section title format in documentation
	- Filtered x and y tick's if axis x/y line is middle or center

2008-06-07 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Wrote more documentation, added |every axis plot post| style.
	- Added |col sep=<space|comma|colon|semicolon|braces>| option for table
	input.

	- Added |minor tick num| option

2008-06-05 Pascal Wolkotte <wolkottept@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Added options to choose the drawing of the axis lines
	- Added options to include a discontinuity decoration on the axis lines
	- Added options to align ticks with the axis lines

2008-06-03 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- Added options |before end axis/.code| and |after end axis/.code| and
	|extra description/.code|.

2008-06-02 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- I have replaced all /tikz/ options with /pgfplots/ ones. The
	documentation is updated to reflect this change. 
	Backwardscompatibility with \tikzstyle and the old /tikz/every... styles
	is provided. 

2008-05-31 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added \pgfnumtabletypeset feature. It is quite sophisticated by now and
	allows to typeset (selected parts of) numeric tables; rounds each number
	to desired accuracy and provides number format styles.

2008-05-26 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added special values 'xtick=data' and 'ytick=data' to collect the first plot's
	coordinates as tick data.

2008-05-24 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- First version of manual with pgfmanual styles is ready. It is not quite
	final, but should be enough to communicate with Pascal.
	- fixed plot expression to work properly.

2008-05-21 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added useful styles for all bar options.

2008-05-20 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- fixed some issues with stacked plots
	- added public macros \plotnum and \numplots inside of an axis
	- added options '[xy] tick label as interval=true|false'
	- added support for 'ybar interval' plot handler (which I added to PGF
	recently).

2008-05-19 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added \closedcycle command for use after \addplot. It connects the
	current plot with the x-axis to provide fillable plots easily.
	- added named coordinates 'current plot begin' and 'current plot end'

2008-05-18 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>

	- added support for stacked plots:
		- stack plots=x|y|false
		- reverse stacked plots=true|false
		- stack dir=plus|minus
	- rewrote some internals

2008-05-12 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	- added 'current plot style' key to \addplot
	- Added error bar support with fixed absolute/relative errors or explicit
	  absolute/relative errors for each coordinate.
	- added plot types for piecewise constant plots
	- added plot types 'ybar' and 'xbar' with option '/pgf/bar width'
	- added option 'legend image code'
	- fixed data scaling trafo: contained possiblity for cancellation of significant
	  digits
	- added limited support for \addlegendentry[]{}
	- removed clipping region for tick line placement
	- added options
	  'every axis plot no 1,2,3,4,...'
	  'every [xy] tick'
	  'every minor [xy] tick'
	  'every major [xy] tick'
	  and the same for s/tick/grid/
	  and the corresponding '[xy] tick style', 'minor [xy] tick style' ...

2008-04-23 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	Released version 0.98 beta
	Changes since version 0.92.4:
	- enlargelimits now works properly for logarithmic axes
	- added support for plot function (gnuplot interface)
	- added extra ticks which are drawn on top of the normal ticks
	- providing x limits will now automatically clip y and vice-versa
	- added option 'log identify minor tick positions'
	- added option 'log plot exponent style'
	- added option 'log number format code' and 'log base 10 number format code'
	- improved automatic tick placement for log plots
	   they are now scale dependend as for linear plots.
	- added 'at' option
	- cycle list and \legend now accept comma separated lists
	- added support for plot expression
	- re-implemented the internal plot representation as pgf node. This improves
	  the PGF integration:
		- you can access various axis anchor from outside,
		- you can easily clip parts of the axis out of the bounding box (useful for
		  alignment),
		- you can access named axis descriptions (legends, titles, labels,...)

	- the complete floating point number support has been integrated into PGF 2.0.
	  That means: there are options 
	   /pgf/number format/sci
	   /pgf/number format/fixed
	   /pgf/number format/....
	   BUT
	   numbers are now printed with
	   \pgfmathprintnumber
	   NOT 
	   \prettyprintnumber   [ INCOMPATIBLE ]

	- added option 'scaled ticks'
	  and associated styles 
		'every x tick scale label'
		'every y tick scale label'
	  and options
		'x tick scale label style'
		'y tick scale label style'
	  and parameters
		'scale ticks [below,above] exponent'

	- legends have been improved (was \edef, is now better)

	- Any styles can now contain axis options, for example
		\tikzstyle{every axis legend}+=[legend columns=2]
	- added option "cycle list"
	- added option "cycle list name"
	- added '\addplot plot file {filename}'
	- added '\addplot plot table[x=colnameA,y=colnameB] {filename}'
	  and   '\addplot plot table[xindex=numberA,yindex=numberB] {filename}'
	  and   '\addplot plot table[...] from {\macroname}' in conjunction with
	  '\numtableread{FILE} to \macroname'

	- eliminated several scopes such that node names for labels, titles and legends
	  will be known outside of an axis,
	- added
		\tikzstyle{every semilogx axis}=[]
		\tikzstyle{every semilogy axis}=[]
		\tikzstyle{every loglog axis}=[]
		\tikzstyle{every linear axis}=[]
	- added option 'legend style'
	- added option 'label style'
	  added option 'x label style'
	  added option 'y label style'
	  added option 'grid style'
	  added option 'tick style'
	  and the same for all 'every ...' styles.
	  added option 'style=' option


2008-02-01 Christian Feuersaenger <ludewich@users.sourceforge.net>
	Released version 0.92.4
	Changes since version 0.92:
	** UPGRADE INCOMPATIBILITIES **
	- Warning: I have greatly improved the legend placement.
	  If you have overwritten 
		\tikzstyle{every axis legend}
	  you will need to update the legend!
	- renamed 'manual.pdf' to 'pgfplots.pdf' to allow 
		'texdoc pgfplots'
	- any \axispath commands need to use the 'axis cs' coordinate system.

	Improvements:
	- introduced a data scale transformation:
	  know, pgfplots is no longer restricted to numbers within 
	  TeX's limited precision.
	  It can produce plots with numbers of order O(10^10) or O(10^-10) (now even for non-logarithmic plots)
	- fixed a bug which did not allow scientific notation for normal plots,
	- improved default tick placement for normal plots,
	- enlargelimits option is now relative and has a better user interface,
	- legends are now TikZ matrizes, which fixes some bugs and improves their
	  flexibility.
	- Added the 'legend columns' option.
	- Added the 'legend plot pos' option.
	- Added the 'hide axis' option
	- Added the 'scale only axis' option
	- Added the 'xticklabels=LIST' and 'yticklabels=LIST' options
	- Added anchors to axes to allow horizontal/vertical alignment
	- rounded tick labels to \prettyprintnumberprecision digits
	- Added 'grid=major|minor|both|none' option for grid lines
	- Added '[xy]minorgrids',  '[xy]majorgrids' options and corresponding styles
	- Added '[xy]majorticks', 'ticks=major|minor|both|none' options ticks
