3.1.10

[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 \relaxed keys into the global scope. This has been
  cleaned up a little. To preserve compatibility macros that used to expand to a
  \relaxed 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 \relaxed 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.
