12 <dt>2012-10-26: PyX 0.12.1 released</dt>
14 This release fixes drawing bugs in the gradient style for the recently
17 <dt>2012-10-17: PyX 0.12 released</dt>
19 This release adds a density graph style to create density plots. The color
20 scale is shown by a separate key graph. The key graph feature has been
21 integrated in existing styles where appropriate, like the 3d surface style.
22 A rather large set of other additions and bug fixes all over the place
23 completes this release.
25 <dt>2011-05-20: PyX 0.11.1 released</dt>
27 This release fixes a few bugs, most importantly the extension build process.
28 The manual has been been ported to <a href="http://sphinx.pocoo.org/">Sphinx</a>.
30 <dt>2011-05-15: PyX 0.11 released</dt>
32 This release contains a major reorganization of the text output code.
33 Transparency in bitmaps is now supported and limited functionality of the bar
34 style is available in 3d graphs. Various bugs have been fixed and there are
35 small improvements all over the place.
37 <dt>2007-10-03: PyX 0.10 released</dt>
39 This release adds 3d plotting facilities to PyX using parallel or central
40 projection. Two new graph styles grids and surfaces can be used in 3d
41 graphs as well as some existing generic graph styles (symbols, lines,
42 errorbars etc.). Several new examples, various other improvements
43 requested by PyX users and some bugfixes complete this release.
45 <dt>2006-09-14: Talk about Type1 fonts and PyX in Rosenheim</dt>
47 A talk about Type1 fonts and PyX was presented at the
48 <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).
49 The presentation is available in
50 <a href="presentation_dantemv35_de.pdf">German (pdf, 19 pages, 226 KB)</a> and
51 in a crude <a href="presentation_dantemv35_en.pdf">english translation</a>.
53 <dt>2006-09-11: First public version of PyXPlot released</dt>
55 Dominic Ford released the first public version of <a
56 href="http://www.pyxplot.org.uk/">PyXPlot</a>, which provides a
57 Gnuplot-style interface to PyX. PyXPlot already supports a large subset
58 of Gnuplot's original functionality, always combined with the
59 high-quality output of PyX.
61 <dt>2006-05-24: PyX 0.9 released</dt>
63 This release features a new set of deformers for path manipulations
64 like smoothing, shifting, etc. A new set of extensively documented
65 examples describing various aspects of PyX in a cookbook-like fashion
66 have been written. Type 1 font-stripping is now handled by a newly
67 written Python module. The evaluation of functions for graph plotting
68 is now left to Python. Thereby some obscure data manipulation could be
69 removed from the bar style for handling of nested bar graphs.
70 Transparency is now supported for PDF output. Many more small
71 improvements and bug fixes top off this release.
73 <dt>2006-01-20: New PyX tutorial for Gnuplot users</dt>
75 Titus Winters wrote a very nice <a href="http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~titus/pyxTutorial/">tutorial</a>
76 explaining the basics of PyX's graph-plotting facilities for users familiar with Gnuplot.
78 <dt>2005-08-13: PyX 0.8.1 released</dt>
80 This release fixes some bugs in the path module and the output of decorated
81 paths. The fallback for kpathsea was considerably improved in speed (it was
82 unintensionally slowed down in 0.8). The inclusion of the bounding box
83 information in PS and PDF files is now optional. It is suppressed by default
84 when a paperformat is specified. A new path example completes the release.
86 <dt>2005-07-13: PyX 0.8 released</dt>
88 PyX now supports PDF output and also the generation of multi-page PS/PDF
89 documents. The internals of the path system have been cleaned up and the
90 external interface has been streamlined. The axis data handling of the graph
91 component has undergone a major revision. Many other improvements and bug fixes
92 are included in this release.
94 <dt>2004-12-15: PyX 0.7.1 released</dt>
96 This release fixes some bugs in the graph system, the canvas module and
97 the kpsewhich support. The tipa package is no longer required to build
98 the FAQ. The index files to sort the examples are now included in the
99 distribution. Two new examples complete this maintenance release.
101 <dt>2004-10-29: PyX presentation in Hannover</dt>
103 PyX was presented at the
104 <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>.
105 The presentation is available in
106 <a href="presentation_dantemv31_de.pdf">German (pdf, 16 Pages, 346 KB)</a> only.
108 <dt>2004-10-21: PyX 0.7 released</dt>
110 This release adds support for the inclusion of bitmaps. The internals of the path system
111 have undergone a major revision and cleanup. The handling of short
112 path elements has been enhanced considerably to prevent numerical
113 instabilities. The data and style handling in the graph system has been
114 completely reorganized. It is now possible to combine several graph
115 styles within a single plot instruction.
117 <dt>2004-04-27: PyX 0.6.3 released</dt>
119 PyX 0.6.3 contains a few bug fixes and includes the source for the FAQ
120 and the manual as requested by a package maintainer.
122 <dt>2004-04-07: PyX 0.6.2 released</dt>
124 PyX 0.6.2 fixes a few bugs in the graph system.
126 <dt>2004-03-31: PyX 0.6.1 released</dt>
128 PyX 0.6.1 fixes a brown paper bag bug in the distribtion which missed
129 to contain the new directories for the graph and the axis system.
131 <dt>2004-03-30: PyX 0.6 released</dt>
133 This release further improves the internal design and visible interfaces
134 of PyX. The path system has undergone a major revision and cleanup.
135 The graph module has been split into several smaller modules,
136 reflecting its component architecture. Moreover, PyX now makes use of
137 the attribute system introduced in the previous release. Graph styles
138 and data handling have been largely revised. Major parts of the
139 documentation have been rewritten and are now based on the standard
140 Python documentation style. Bug-fixes and speed improvements complete

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