12 <dt>2011-05-20: PyX 0.11.1 released</dt>
14 This release fixes a few bugs, most importantly the extension build process.
15 The manual has been been ported to <a href="http://sphinx.pocoo.org/">Sphinx</a>.
17 <dt>2011-05-15: PyX 0.11 released</dt>
19 This release contains a major reorganization of the text output code.
20 Transparency in bitmaps is now supported and limited functionality of the bar
21 style is available in 3d graphs. Various bugs have been fixed and there are
22 small improvements all over the place.
24 <dt>2007-10-03: PyX 0.10 released</dt>
26 This release adds 3d plotting facilities to PyX using parallel or central
27 projection. Two new graph styles grids and surfaces can be used in 3d
28 graphs as well as some existing generic graph styles (symbols, lines,
29 errorbars etc.). Several new examples, various other improvements
30 requested by PyX users and some bugfixes complete this release.
32 <dt>2006-09-14: Talk about Type1 fonts and PyX in Rosenheim</dt>
34 A talk about Type1 fonts and PyX was presented at the
35 <a href="http://www.dante.de/dante/events/mv35/">fall meeting</a> of the <a href="http://www.dante.de/dante/events/mv35/">German Speaking TeX User Group DANTE e.V.</a> (September 14th and 15th, Rosenheim).
36 The presentation is available in
37 <a href="presentation_dantemv35_de.pdf">German (pdf, 19 pages, 226 KB)</a> and
38 in a crude <a href="presentation_dantemv35_en.pdf">english translation</a>.
40 <dt>2006-09-11: First public version of PyXPlot released</dt>
42 Dominic Ford released the first public version of <a
43 href="http://www.pyxplot.org.uk/">PyXPlot</a>, which provides a
44 Gnuplot-style interface to PyX. PyXPlot already supports a large subset
45 of Gnuplot's original functionality, always combined with the
46 high-quality output of PyX.
48 <dt>2006-05-24: PyX 0.9 released</dt>
50 This release features a new set of deformers for path manipulations
51 like smoothing, shifting, etc. A new set of extensively documented
52 examples describing various aspects of PyX in a cookbook-like fashion
53 have been written. Type 1 font-stripping is now handled by a newly
54 written Python module. The evaluation of functions for graph plotting
55 is now left to Python. Thereby some obscure data manipulation could be
56 removed from the bar style for handling of nested bar graphs.
57 Transparency is now supported for PDF output. Many more small
58 improvements and bug fixes top off this release.
60 <dt>2006-01-20: New PyX tutorial for Gnuplot users</dt>
62 Titus Winters wrote a very nice <a href="http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~titus/pyxTutorial/">tutorial</a>
63 explaining the basics of PyX's graph-plotting facilities for users familiar with Gnuplot.
65 <dt>2005-08-13: PyX 0.8.1 released</dt>
67 This release fixes some bugs in the path module and the output of decorated
68 paths. The fallback for kpathsea was considerably improved in speed (it was
69 unintensionally slowed down in 0.8). The inclusion of the bounding box
70 information in PS and PDF files is now optional. It is suppressed by default
71 when a paperformat is specified. A new path example completes the release.
73 <dt>2005-07-13: PyX 0.8 released</dt>
75 PyX now supports PDF output and also the generation of multi-page PS/PDF
76 documents. The internals of the path system have been cleaned up and the
77 external interface has been streamlined. The axis data handling of the graph
78 component has undergone a major revision. Many other improvements and bug fixes
79 are included in this release.
81 <dt>2004-12-15: PyX 0.7.1 released</dt>
83 This release fixes some bugs in the graph system, the canvas module and
84 the kpsewhich support. The tipa package is no longer required to build
85 the FAQ. The index files to sort the examples are now included in the
86 distribution. Two new examples complete this maintenance release.
88 <dt>2004-10-29: PyX presentation in Hannover</dt>
90 PyX was presented at the
91 <a href="http://www.dante.de/dante/events/mv31/">fall meeting of the German Speaking TeX User Group DANTE e.V. (October 29nd to 30th, Hannover)</a>.
92 The presentation is available in
93 <a href="presentation_dantemv31_de.pdf">German (pdf, 16 Pages, 346 KB)</a> only.
95 <dt>2004-10-21: PyX 0.7 released</dt>
97 This release adds support for the inclusion of bitmaps. The internals of the path system
98 have undergone a major revision and cleanup. The handling of short
99 path elements has been enhanced considerably to prevent numerical
100 instabilities. The data and style handling in the graph system has been
101 completely reorganized. It is now possible to combine several graph
102 styles within a single plot instruction.
104 <dt>2004-04-27: PyX 0.6.3 released</dt>
106 PyX 0.6.3 contains a few bug fixes and includes the source for the FAQ
107 and the manual as requested by a package maintainer.
109 <dt>2004-04-07: PyX 0.6.2 released</dt>
111 PyX 0.6.2 fixes a few bugs in the graph system.
113 <dt>2004-03-31: PyX 0.6.1 released</dt>
115 PyX 0.6.1 fixes a brown paper bag bug in the distribtion which missed
116 to contain the new directories for the graph and the axis system.
118 <dt>2004-03-30: PyX 0.6 released</dt>
120 This release further improves the internal design and visible interfaces
121 of PyX. The path system has undergone a major revision and cleanup.
122 The graph module has been split into several smaller modules,
123 reflecting its component architecture. Moreover, PyX now makes use of
124 the attribute system introduced in the previous release. Graph styles
125 and data handling have been largely revised. Major parts of the
126 documentation have been rewritten and are now based on the standard
127 Python documentation style. Bug-fixes and speed improvements complete

145 PyX 0.5 introduces a more consistent and flexible attribute system is
146 included. The TeX integration has been improved: native support for
147 virtual fonts has been added. Markers allow the gathering of
148 positions within the text. TeX's inter-process-communication option
149 can be used to speed up the TeX interface. The install process has
150 been streamlined. Lots of other small improvements and bugfixes were
