On Sun, 11 Mar 2007, Till Tantau wrote submitted an update to the
beamer
package.
The beamer LaTeX class can be used for producing slides. Its
functionality is similar to Prosper but does not need any external
programs and can directly produce a presentation using pdflatex. Beamer
uses pgf for pdf/ps independent graphics. Frames are created using
\frame{...}, and a frame can build multiple slides through a simple
notation for specifying material for each slide within a frame. Beamer
supports bibliographies, appendicies and transitions. Short versions of
title, authors, institute can also be specified as optional parameters. A
\plainframe{} allows a picture, for example, to fill the whole frame.
Support figure and table environments, transparency effects, a
\transduration command, animation commands, a pauses environment. Beamer
also provides compatibility with other packages like prosper.

Annoucement:
After two years, this is the first bugfix release! It fixes some of
the most troublesome bugs:
1) The problem with wrong colors after blocks in dvips mode.
2) The wrong name \pgfuselayout mentioned in the manual.
3) Frame titles of fragile frames can be given inline.
Furthermore, the chaotic license refences have been fixed,
copyrighted pictures have been removed and this release should now be
"perfectly free".
