Read the latest news of updates for pstricks.tex!

Important: PSTricks packages are divided into the core and contributed ones. The core is pstricks.

Frequently done errors ...

1. Do not choose pstricks.tex as a file name, it is the name of the main PSTricks package! Windows users pay attention here, there is no difference in lower or upper case letters.
2. Missing number, treated as zero This is the default error message when you are using symbolic node names without enabled \SpecialCoor after loading the pst-node package!
3. PSTricks is PostScript Tricks, viewing your PS output with a PS viewer is appropriate. Nearly all DVI-viewers cannot show the correct output.
4. You cannot run your files with pdftex or pdflatex, use the sequence latex->dvips->ps2pdf, or see topic pdfoutput
5. linestyle=dashed doesn't work after an update of pstricks.tex. You should update also pstricks.pro and pstricks.sty.
6. Error message: no room for a new dimen. See UK TeX-FAQ for what to do ...
7. \pspicture[0.5] ... doesn't work anymore! Use instead [shift=*] Read the docs!

All PSTricks files of my own development tree as a TDS-tarball (TeX directory structure) PSTricks-TDS.tgz (120MByte!!) or browse through the files. Use the files always at your own risk. It's a kind of living on the edge :-)!
