This is pgf-PeriodicTable, version 2.1.0a (2024/04/03).

The purpose of this package is to provide the Periodic Table of Elements in
a simple way. It relies on pgf/TikZ to offer a full or partial periodic table with
a variety of options and displaying the desired data for all the 118
elements. It can be done in different languages: English, French, German,
Portuguese (from Portugal and from Brazil), Spanish, Italian and translations
by user contributions (currently Dutch).

Major changes:

*** v2.1.0a (03/04/2024) ***
Translation files have been renamed from 'lang.{undefined,nl}.tex' to 'pgfPT.lang.{undefined,nl}.tex' to match the runtime tree of TeX Live (names must be globally unique for reliable searching).

*** v2.1.0 (14/02/2024) ***
New options for package loading:
