CTAN update: tikz-ext
Date: March 20, 2025 6:22:50 AM CET
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.
This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-ext More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/tikz-ext
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Erik Braun
