On Sat, 17 Jan 2004, Till Tantau uploaded new versions of his beamer and
pgf packages.
I installed them in
macros/latex/contrib/beamer
and
/graphics/pgf
respectively. Thanks for the updates.
Changelog is appended.

> of contents.
> - Added inserts for numbering sections in the table of contents.
> - Added predefined templates for more fancyful table of contents.
> - Shadow theme now uses a numbered table of contents by
> default. Use \beamertemplateplaintoc to get the old behaviour.
> - Changed the syntax of \frame. Overlay specification must now be
> given in pointed brackets. (Old syntax is quietly tolerated.)
> - Command \plainframe has been replaced by \frame[plain]. (Old
> syntax is quietly tolerated.)
> - Renamed beamerboxes to beamerbaseboxes and beamertemplates to
> beamerbasetemplate. They are included automatically, so simply
> delete an inclusion of the old packages).
> - Fixed bug in beamerbaseboxes.
> - Uncover now also works for whole lines or passages in tables and
> alignments, both for completely invisible covered and
> transparent covered text.
> - Item balls/icons now change color inside beamerboxes according
> to the color scheme.
> - Added versioning system for head and toc entries. Will no longer
> do weird things when left over files from an old version are
> encountered. (Makes updating a lot easier.)
> - Slightly changed LyX stuff to work together with the syntax
> changes. Still no real documentation.
> - Uses version 1.06 of xcolor now.
> - Uses pgf 0.50 now.
> - Mechanism for alternate selection of images and shading is
> slightly changed and incompatible with the old one.
> - pgf's cvs is now also on SourceForge next to the beamer class.
>
> Version 0.50 of pgf:
> - Switched to version 1.06 of xcolor.
> - Core pgf no longer relies on xxcolor.
> - The syntax of the mechanism for choosing alternate images and
> shadings is more flexible now. The syntax has been changed
> (mainly, you now have to have a dot between the original name and
> the alternate extension).
> - Some xxcolor commands have been removed.
