New features in pgf/tikz

TeX Live 2008 was finally released about a month ago. I am a member of TUG, so I should be getting a DVD of it sometime soon, but today I finally decided I couldn&#8217;t wait, and I would just download it. The main impetus came after reading a discussion in comp.text.tex, in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been very busy lately, but I have been working on the collapsing archives update for awhile. I have incorporated new features from collapsing categories into it, while trying to keep all the old features. One thing I have learned is that it is difficult to write code with many options, especially when some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you want to include verbatim text, say for some program code, in a frame in beamer, you have to pass the fragile option to the frame, like so:
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{a fragile frame}
\begin{verbatim}
some verbatim text here
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}
Though latex usually doesn&#8217;t really care about whitespace at the beginning of a line, in this case it does. If you don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

I actually don&#8217;t use sed that much. I tend to reach for perl, [...]]]></description>

It was a major rewrite, and I expected bugs, but probably should have labeled it alpha. I want to especially thank Hans Klaus for doing quite a bit of testing in 0.6.1, including [...]]]></description>

So I decided to put it here for myself, so I won&#8217;t have to search any further than my own site. In this particular instance, I am trying [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally figured out this thorny issue I have been dealing with for the last hour. In perl, if I can create a character class like &#8220;[\[\]a-f]&#8221; which matches any characters a-f, [, and ]. This does not work in grep or sed though. I finally discovered that the right bracket &#8220;]&#8221; should not be [...]]]></description>

It includes the following changes:

 Can have multiple instances of widgets, each with separate options
 No longer works as non-widget
 All options are stored in one database row
 Added more sorting options
 Added option to include or exclude certain categories
 Added option to expand [...]]]></description>

There are so many little programs that just do one thing, and one thing well. But the ability to combine these together through pipes means you have extremely flexible and powerful [...]]]></description>
