On Sat, 26 Nov 2005 Uwe Kern submitted an update to the
xcolor
package.
This package pProvides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of
color tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors. It allows a
user to select a document-wide target color model and offers complete
tools for conversion between eight color models. Additionally, there is a
command for alternating row colors plus repeated non-aligned material
(like horizontal lines) in tables. Colors can be mixed like
\color{red!30!green!40!blue}.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2005/11/25 v2.08
* New features:
- more flexibility for \fcolorbox arguments, e.g.,
\fcolorbox[gray]{0.5}[wave]{580}{test};
- \boxframe returns a frame of given dimensions;
- new implementation of \f(rame)box and \fcolorbox as an extension
of bug report latex/3655 to reduce pixel positioning errors in
output devices;
- `kernelfbox' option for those who prefer the previous \f(rame)box
approach;
- experimental `xcdraw' option uses PostScript commands to draw
frames and color boxes in case of `dvips'.
* Bugfixes:
- insufficient expression type detection within \colorlet;
- wrong calculation in the unit interval reduction for negative
integers (affecting color series and extended color expressions).
