pgf Files

[3.1.10] - 2023-01-13 Henri Menke

Even though this release is not too heavy on user-facing additions it has seen a lot of contributed changes. Thanks to everyone who volunteered their time!

BREAKING CHANGES

• \pgfversiondatetime and \pgfrevisiondatetime have been removed. \pgfversiondate and \pgfrevisiondate now use the format YYYY-MM-DD. \pgfrevision{,date} and \pgfversion{,date} are synonyms for now, but the revision should eventually gain back its original meaning. However, as of now this is not supported by l3build.
• Many operations in pgfkeys used to use \csname directly which lets the given csname become \relax in case it wasn't defined. This resulted in some leakage of accidentally \relaxed keys into the global scope. This has been cleaned up a little. To preserve compatibility macros that used to expand to a \relaxed csname now expand to a primitive \relax. This affects the user-level commands \pgfkeysgetvalue and \pgfkeysgetvalueof. For the former the change should not be visible except for the number of expansions required. For \pgfkeysgetvalueof, however, the behavior is manifestly different in that it will now expand to an alias for the primitive \relax in case the value is undefined instead of a \relaxed csname. It has always been semantically wrong to assign to the result of \pgfkeysgetvalueof, but now it will have undesired side-effects. Therefore this change is breaking.
• The textures and vtex drivers have been deprecated. Both engines are no longer in active development and lack eTeX features which are required for quite some time in PGF.
• The file pgfutil-common-lists.tex is deprecated and therefore no longer \input by pgfutil-common.tex. The macros from this file are specifically meant for pgfplots and are not used in PGF at all.
