Version number: 3.70 2023-05-15
License type: lppl1.3c gpl2+ fdl

Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

## [v3.70]

### Added

- making the aspect ratio available to the user via `\insertaspectratio`
- adding `title`, `author`, `institute`, `date` and `titlegraphic` templates to
  make title page easier to customise

### Changed

- smoothbars outer theme: moved the shading between headline and frametitle a
  bit down to avoid the miniframe appearing clipped off in some pdf viewers
- made top shading of Singapore theme transparent (see #782)
- scale height of infolines headline with fontsize of `section in head/foot`
- calculate the head/footheight at the start of each frame instead of only at
  the start of the document
- making `\part` compatible with `\nameref`

### Fixed

- adding strut to the `frame number` and `page number` footlines to avoid
  jumping (see #840)
- fixed bug in `inmargin` inner theme which would show the author indicator
  even if the author was empty
