    Several new blocks, more flexible generic anchors for blocks,
    and a new option to align the signs on American-style voltage
    sources.

    - Added `saturation` block
    - Added `iamp`, `sigmoid`, and `allornothing` blocks
    - Added optical fiber `fiber` block
    - Now, the position of the lateral anchors (`left up` and similar)
    of blocks is configurable
    - Now you can choose how the signs on American-style sources
    rotate when the source is not vertical
    - A new section in the manual about related packages

    Summary description: Draw electrical networks with TikZ

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    There are no big changes here, but the change to the resistor code
    (maybe one of the most used by the package) well deserves a minor
    version bump.
    There are a couple of new components and several minor fixes.

    - New component: new kind of current tap
    - New arrow tip `Jack Tap` to help draw jack connectors
    - Change the drawing of the thermocouple
    - Change and enhancement to the drawing of the American resistors,
    fixing a long-standing small asymmetry that nobody noticed
    - Minor adjustment for joins in `viscoe` component
    - Minor additions (`rectjoinfill`) and fixes in documentation

    Summary description: Draw electrical networks with TikZ

    Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Various new blocks have been added, and several fixes have been applied
    (the barrier one is slightly backward-incompatible...).

    - Added a flag to have German-style TVS
    - Added many blocks all over the map
    - Fix for straight voltage on `open` bipoles
    - Fix a very, very old bug about aliases for American/European sources
    - Fix `barrier` wire linewidth
    - Fix stroke-type transorb (which did not work at all)
    - Reduce `barrier` and `openbarrier` default widths so no wire is drawn by default.
    - Documentation enhancement (example of chopper macro)

    A couple of new components (wiggly bulbs and a new "oO" type autotransformer), and several small corrections.

    - Fix leaking filament in `bulb` bipole
    - Fix small incoherence between width/height in oo-type sources
    - New component: Wiggly bulb (suggested by Sebastiano)
    - New component: "zero-type" autotransformer (suggested by Max Börjesson)
    - Allow to set the index position for square instruments (by Julien Labbé])

    The change that deserves a version-level bump is applied to the path logic, which fixes a longstanding bug (or lack of feature),
    which enables the embedding of `circuitikz` paths
    into pics (among other things; see the related issue).

    - Fix errors when path-style components are used in pics
    (and in some other places; fix by Romano,
    see https://github.com/circuitikz/circuitikz/issues/866
    - Add rollback point for version 1.7.2
    - Several fixes and additions to the manual
