Acknowledgements

This release stands in the name of the two contributors Alexander Grahn and Yukai Chou without whom this release would not have been nearly as great. Thank you very much!

BREAKING CHANGES

  • In the last version, in an attempt to fix updating local bounding box in a clipping scope the \pgf@path@size@hook in \pgf@protocolsizes was set to be executed unconditionally. Unfortunately, this broke all other uses of local bounding box and has been reverted. If you need to use local bounding box in a clipping scope, use the overlay option.

  • The recent Ghostscript version 9.53 has changed the primitives for transparency, blend mode, and transparency groups. These are now supported by PGF and should in principle go unnoticed by the user. (Thanks Alexander Grahn!)

  • \pgfintersectionoflines will now always return the intersection in the untransformed coordinate system. This however requires an additional \pgftransforminvert which comes with a loss of precision and can potentially lead to Dimension too large errors in edge cases.

  • PGF now supports the new hook management that will be introduced in LaTeX 2020/10/01. While this should not lead to any noticeable changes, please look out for breakages with overlays and the current page nodes. Please report problems on the PGF or LaTeX issue trackers.

New features

You can read about these new features in the manual:

  • PS-3 functional shading, opacity masks (fadings) and image masks for dvips. (Thanks Alexander Grahn!)

  • The dvisvgm4ht driver developed by Michal Hoftich has been merged into PGF/TikZ.

  • The pgfparser module has been slightly refactored such that it can be used without loading all of PGF.

  • The order in which the inner styles are applied in a \matrix is now configurable. #867

  • The file pgfmanual-en-macros.tex is developed specifically for typesetting the PGF manual, however, many other package developers have found it useful and made good use of it. To this end, we now install pgfmanual-en-macros.tex into a directory that is searched by kpathsea such that developers no longer have to copy the file into their own distribution.

  • The CI system was switched from Travis CI to GitHub Actions for better integration with GitHub and direct deployment of build artefacts to the status page.

Removed features

  • The bbox library introduced in PGF 3.1.5 was removed. I further recommend that if there are files containing bbox code left over from a previous version that these are removed to avoid potential issues.

Bug fixes

Lots of bug fixes. On GitHub you can click the commit hashes and the issue numbers to get to the fix and the ticket, respectively.
