## [4.25c] — 2025-09-25 ### Added - **path**: - `get_point` - `iter()`. - **tkz-elements.sty**: - `\tkzGetPointFromPath(#1,#2){#3}` - `\tkzPathCount(#1){#2}` - `\tkzDrawFromPointToPath`. - **tkz**: Function `tkz.parabola(a, b, c)` to obtain the quadratic form whose graph passes through the three points `a`, `b`, and `c` (under certain conditions). ### Changed - **Source structure**: Removed version numbers and dates from each `tkz_elements_xxx.lua` file. The official version and release date are now maintained **only** in: - `tkz-elements.sty` (for LaTeX users), - `README.md`, - `CHANGELOG.md`, - `doc/tkz-elements.pdf`. - **occs**: The `coordinates` method now returns numbers instead of strings (removed `checknumber_`). - **path**: Improved `get_number_path` method. ### Docs - Renamed several examples: the old names were more explicit. - After **Overview**, added three navigation tables (attributes, methods, metamethods) for each class. All elements should now be listed, with links to their definitions and, where relevant, to examples. - Rewrote the section on **path**. - Added in **Theorems**: Circle–Point Midpoint Theorem. - Added documentation for the new macros of **tkz-elements.sty**. - Added in **Examples**: Construction of the midcircle of two disjoint circles. ## [4.21c] — 2025-09-21 ### Docs - Changed the names of the examples. - The examples now use external Lua files. - Corrected the documentation. - Cleaned up the files: unused labels have been removed, as well as **overfull box**. ## [4.20c] — 2025-09-17 ### Added - **triangle**: `thebault/c_c` (Thébault’s problem III), `poncelet_point`, `orthopole(L)`, `mixtilinear_incircle`, `three_tangent_circles`, `morley`, `soddy`, `napoleon`. - **quadrilateral**: support for orthopole via helper function `tkz.orthopole(a, b, c, l)`. ### Changed - **circle**: improved `common_tangent`, `orthogonal_through`, `orthogonal_from`, `c_cc_p`. - **line**: improved `distance`. - **triangle**: rewrites of `symmedian_line`, `altitude`, `bisector`, `bisector_ext`, `mediator`, `ex_circle`, `reflection`. ### Fixed - **circle**: `common_tangent` correctness issues. ### Docs - New subsection **Best practices** in **Writing Convention, best practices and common mistakes**. - New examples for `thebault/c_c` in **class triangle** and **theorems** (Thébault’s problem III). - New examples for `poncelet_point` (triangle and quadrilateral). - Examples for **orthopole** (triangle + examples section). - Various corrections. ## [4.15c] — 2025‑06‑15 ### Added - `tkz.trisector` to divide a sector into three equal parts (returns two points). - Triangle method: `mediator` (perpendicular bisector of the side opposite the chosen vertex). - Utility: `tkz.is_direct` to test whether ∠ABC is oriented positively. ### Changed - Triangle methods now accept the vertex **itself** in place of a permutation index (e.g. `bisector`, `altitude`, `ex-circle`), improving clarity and consistency. - Renamed `tkz_dc` → `tkz.dc`; removed remaining occurrences of the old name. ### Docs - Updated manual; new example added (**Morley triangle**). ## [4.10c] ### Added - Modules `utils` and `tkz` (formatting, rounding, comparisons, table ops; helpers like `tkz.solve`, `tkz.midpoint`, `tkz.length`, angle tools, barycenter, etc.). - `path` class interop with conics and triangles; TikZ macros `\tkzDrawPointsFromPath`, `\tkzGetPointsFromPath`, `\tkzDrawCirclesFromPaths`, `\tkzDrawSegmentsFromPaths`. - Triangle: `poncelet_point`, `orthopole`. - Macro aliasing: `\tkzPN` = `\tkzPrintNumber`, `\tkzDrawPath` = `\tkzDrawCoordinates`. - `\tkzEraseLuaObj` to delete a Lua object. ### Changed - Circle method `orthogonal_through` rewritten and corrected. ### Docs - New examples: Archimedean spiral, Poncelet point, Orthopole, Path examples. ## [4.00c] ### Added - New `path` class; short syntax for constructors (omit `.new`). - Metapost “mini” macro; options `known` and `near` for intersections; trilinear/barycentric rewrites; line methods `orthogonal_at(pt,k)` and `colinear_at(pt,k)`. ### Changed - Removed scaling within the Lua section (prefer TikZ‑level scaling). - Various fixes: triangle `point` method; rectangle `get_lengths`; Gauss pivot improvements. ### Docs - Major rewrite; new sections (**Short contents, Getting started, Class path, LuaLaTeX for beginners, Global variables and constants, Various functions, Module utils, Metapost**).
