> After a long hiatus, I'm very happy to release a new version of

> 
> v1.5, February 2013:
>   - Fix =/# mixup in Windows ps2pdf options.
>   - Check the .tex file for newness when regenerating figures.
>   - Add [macro-file=...] for a global file to retrieve psfrag macros
>     (default is "\jobname-pstool.tex").
>     Thanks to Heinrich Kruger for suggestions for the above.
>   - Cross-references and citations within external graphics are now supported.
> 
> v1.4, November 2010:
>   - More robust parsing of the main input file to read in the preamble.
>     Therefore, \EndPreamble is now required much less often.
>   - Apparently unreleased to CTAN, oops :)
