12 <dt>2006-05-xx: PyX 0.9 released</dt>
14 This release features a new set of deformers for path manipulations like smoothing, shifting,
15 etc. A new set of extensively documented examples describing various aspects of PyX in a
16 cookbook-like fashion have been written. Type 1 font-stripping is now handled by a newly
17 written Python module. The evaluating of functions for graph plotting is now left to Python.
18 Transparency is now supported for PDF output. Many more small improvements and bug fixes top
21 <dt>2006-01-20: New PyX tutorial for Gnuplot users</dt>
23 Titus Winters wrote a very nice <a href="http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~titus/pyxTutorial/">tutorial</a>
24 explaining the basics of PyX's graph-plotting facilities for users familiar with Gnuplot.
26 <dt>2005-08-13: PyX 0.8.1 released</dt>
28 This release fixes some bugs in the path module and the output of decorated
29 paths. The fallback for kpathsea was considerably improved in speed (it was
30 unintensionally slowed down in 0.8). The inclusion of the bounding box
31 information in PS and PDF files is now optional. It is suppressed by default
32 when a paperformat is specified. A new path example completes the release.
34 <dt>2005-07-13: PyX 0.8 released</dt>
36 PyX now supports PDF output and also the generation of multi-page PS/PDF
37 documents. The internals of the path system have been cleaned up and the
38 external interface has been streamlined. The axis data handling of the graph
39 component has undergone a major revision. Many other improvements and bug fixes
40 are included in this release.
42 <dt>2004-12-15: PyX 0.7.1 released</dt>
44 This release fixes some bugs in the graph system, the canvas module and
45 the kpsewhich support. The tipa package is no longer required to build
46 the FAQ. The index files to sort the examples are now included in the
47 distribution. Two new examples complete this maintenance release.
49 <dt>2004-10-29: PyX presentation in Hannover</dt>
51 PyX was presented at the
52 <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>.

56 <dt>2004-10-21: PyX 0.7 released</dt>
58 This release adds support for the inclusion of bitmaps. The internals of the path system
59 have undergone a major revision and cleanup. The handling of short
60 path elements has been enhanced considerably to prevent numerical
61 instabilities. The data and style handling in the graph system has been
62 completely reorganized. It is now possible to combine several graph
63 styles within a single plot instruction.
65 <dt>2004-04-27: PyX 0.6.3 released</dt>
67 PyX 0.6.3 contains a few bug fixes and includes the source for the FAQ

72 PyX 0.6.2 fixes a few bugs in the graph system.
74 <dt>2004-03-31: PyX 0.6.1 released</dt>
76 PyX 0.6.1 fixes a brown paper bag bug in the distribtion which missed
77 to contain the new directories for the graph and the axis system.
79 <dt>2004-03-30: PyX 0.6 released</dt>
81 This release further improves the internal design and visible interfaces
82 of PyX. The path system has undergone a major revision and cleanup.
83 The graph module has been split into several smaller modules,
84 reflecting its component architecture. Moreover, PyX now makes use of
85 the attribute system introduced in the previous release. Graph styles
86 and data handling have been largely revised. Major parts of the
87 documentation have been rewritten and are now based on the standard
88 Python documentation style. Bug-fixes and speed improvements complete
