Summary description: Directory tree rendering for LaTeX with TikZ
Announcement text:
This release adds per-entry icons and customizable comment leaders, improves pagination and layout compatibility, and simplifies the package internals. - Add icon={...} to all six entry commands, with icon access through \DirtreexGetField{idx}{i}. - Add dotfill color and dotfill command for colored dots, rules and custom comment leaders. - Improve page-start, continuation and standard two-column splitting, including float reservations, multiline rows and paragraph-spacing compatibility. - Correct closing-fragment fitting, empty trailing fragments and repeated deferral handling. - Fix inline TikZ style lists, preserve user node names and avoid duplicate boundary strokes. Existing entry-command signatures and the name/type field accessors remain compatible.

Dirtreex – Directory tree rendering for LaTeX with TikZ
This package provides a self-contained tool for rendering directory trees in an optionally breakable, fully styleable frame. Built directly on TikZ and zref, it works natively without requiring tcolorbox, dirtree, shell escape, or external scripts.
Its main features include automatically tracked depth, so that \dir and \file commands can be nested naturally; breakable frames whose borders, background, and vertical connection lines continue across page boundaries; extensive customization with per-tree and per-entry settings for line colors, line widths, and elbow radii; and CJK-friendly operation with ctex and LuaTeX.
