• CTAN update: tikz-ext

    From CTAN Announcements@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 20 07:22:50 2025
    Qrrbrbirlbel submitted an update to the

    tikz-ext

    package.

    Version number: 0.6
    License type: fdl lppl

    Summary description: A collection of libraries for PGF/TikZ

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


    While this update includes new “extensions” it mostly refactors almost all keys/macros/others to be in their own namespace.
    For keys, this means /tikz/ext, /pgf/ext and /utils/ext. For control sequence, this means \tikzext and \pgfext.
    Others include PGFmath functions and arrow tips which gets the prefix ext_.

    For old documents, a compatibility setting is provided: \tikzextset{compat=pre 0.6}
    For this version, the compatibility setting “warn” is preset that will issue warning messages in the log file for the first 25 uses of “old” names.

    I apologize for any inconvenience but I hope that this will lead to a cleaner package and less conflict in the future.
