12 <dt>2006-01-20: New PyX tutorial for Gnuplot users</dt>
14 Titus Winters wrote a very nice <a href="http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~titus/pyxTutorial/">tutorial</a>
15 explaining the basics of PyX's graph-plotting facilities for users familiar with Gnuplot.
17 <dt>2005-08-13: PyX 0.8.1 released</dt>
19 This release fixes some bugs in the path module and the output of decorated
20 paths. The fallback for kpathsea was considerably improved in speed (it was
21 unintensionally slowed down in 0.8). The inclusion of the bounding box
22 information in PS and PDF files is now optional. It is suppressed by default
23 when a paperformat is specified. A new path example completes the release.
25 <dt>2005-07-13: PyX 0.8 released</dt>
27 PyX now supports PDF output and also the generation of multi-page PS/PDF
28 documents. The internals of the path system have been cleaned up and the
29 external interface has been streamlined. The axis data handling of the graph
30 component has undergone a major revision. Many other improvements and bug fixes
31 are included in this release.
33 <dt>2004-12-15: PyX 0.7.1 released</dt>
35 This release fixes some bugs in the graph system, the canvas module and
36 the kpsewhich support. The tipa package is no longer required to build
37 the FAQ. The index files to sort the examples are now included in the
38 distribution. Two new examples complete this maintenance release.
40 <dt>2004-10-29: PyX presentation in Hannover</dt>
42 PyX was presented at the
43 <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>.

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

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