[Herbert Voss]

Hi all,
please test the new features of the upcoming
version of pstricks. You'll find the documentation
here: http://perce.de/LaTeX/pstricks/pst-news2008.pdf

replace the files
http://perce.de/LaTeX/pstricks/pstricks.tex|pro|sty

and put the new one
http://perce.de/LaTeX/pstricks/pst-algparser.pro

in the same directory of pstricks.pro, you can find this
directory with
kpsewhich pstricks.pro

The new features of the pstricks core are:
pstricks.tex --------
1.20  2008-01-01 - added strokeopacity for normal stroke operation
                    (lines) and opacity for filled areas
                  - added the arrowtype <D-D> and <D<D-D>D>, which draws
                    the sides as betier curves (ArrowD type in
                    pstricks.pro)
                  - add special coor type (*x f(x)), which invokes the
                    algebraic parser for f(x) before using the default
                    (!x y) coor type
                  - add option linejoin=0,1,or 2 for connecting lines
                  - add option linecap=0,1,or 2 for line ends
                  - small tweaks to psellipticarc x y -> xOrig yOrig
                  - fix introduced bug with \newpsstyle:
                    \pst at tempa->\pst at tempA
                  - add PS subroutines /UserCoor and /ScreenCoor for easy
                    transforming into user or screen coordinates
                  - changed wrong name of \psk at shift to \pst at shift
                  - fix bug with pst-node and \\[name=...]. It now uses
                    \ps at ifnextchar for scanning the next token
                  - fix bug with pst at tempg in \polar at coor. It was already
                    used in \pst at getangle.
                  - new option gridfont for the label font of \psgrid
                    can now be any of the PS-fonts Helvetica (Default),
                    Times-Roman, Palatino-Roman, ...
