[pgf-tikz] CTAN Upload: pgf

[Erik Braun]

Hello PGF/TikZ Team,

Thanks for this upload:

> Package:        pgf     [found]
> Version:        3.1.10
> Author:         Christian Feuersänger;Henri Menke;The PGF/TikZ Team;Till Tantau
> Location:       /graphics/pgf/base      [unmodified]
> License:        fdl gpl2 lppl1.3c       [was: fdl       gpl2    lppl1.3c]

I've installed the new version and updated the catalogue repository.

The changes should become available on the mirrors within the next 24
hours. Then I will post this announcement:

> Announcement:
>  ## [3.1.10] - 2023-01-13 Henri Menke
>  
>  Even though this release is not too heavy on user-facing additions it has seen a
>  lot of contributed changes. Thanks to everyone who volunteered their time!
>  
>  ### BREAKING CHANGES
>  
>  - `\pgfversiondatetime` and `\pgfrevisiondatetime` have been removed.
>    `\pgfversiondate` and `\pgfrevisiondate` now use the format `YYYY-MM-DD`.
>    `\pgfrevision{,date}` and `\pgfversion{,date}` are synonyms for now, but the
>    revision should eventually gain back its original meaning.  However, as of now
>    this is not supported by l3build.
>  - Many operations in `pgfkeys` used to use `\csname` directly which lets the
>    given csname become `\relax` in case it wasn't defined. This resulted in some
>    leakage of accidentally `\relax`ed keys into the global scope. This has been
>    cleaned up a little. To preserve compatibility macros that used to expand to a
>    `\relax`ed csname now expand to a primitive `\relax`. This affects the
>    user-level commands `\pgfkeysgetvalue` and `\pgfkeysgetvalueof`. For the
>    former the change should not be visible except for the number of expansions
>    required. For `\pgfkeysgetvalueof`, however, the behavior is manifestly
>    different in that it will now expand to an alias for the primitive `\relax` in
>    case the value is undefined instead of a `\relax`ed csname. It has always been
>    semantically wrong to assign to the result of `\pgfkeysgetvalueof`, but now it
>    will have undesired side-effects. Therefore this change is breaking.
>  - The `textures` and `vtex` drivers have been deprecated. Both engines are no
>    longer in active development and lack eTeX features which are required for
>    quite some time in PGF.
>  - The file `pgfutil-common-lists.tex` is deprecated and therefore no longer
>    `\input` by `pgfutil-common.tex`. The macros from this file are specifically
>    meant for pgfplots and are not used in PGF at all.
>

Note that Petra flattened the directory structure (not the TDS file) similar to 
the existing structure (on CTAN).

Verified okay.
