On Tue, 15 Mar 2005 Uwe Kern submitted version 2.01 of his xcolor package
to CTAN.
Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/
Summary description: Driver-independent color extensions for LaTeX and pdfLaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2005/03/15 v2.01
* New features:
- `prologue' option for comprehensive `named' color support in
conjunction with `dvips': on-the-fly generation of PostScript
prologue files with all color definitions, ready for dvips
inclusion and/or post-processing with device-specific parameters
(e.g., spot colors);
- dvips prologue file xcolor.pro to support additional `named'
colors;
- \colorlet may now also be used to create named colors from
arbitrary color expressions;
- enhanced color definition syntax to allow for target-model
specific color parameters, e.g.
\definecolor{red}{rgb/cmyk}{1,0,0/0,1,1,0}, facilitating the
usage of tailor-made colors both for displays and printers;
- `deferred definition' of colors: \preparecolor and
\definecolors enable decoupling of color specification and control
sequence generation, especially useful (= memory saving) for large
lists of colors, of which only a few names are actually used;
- `dvipsnames*' and `svgnames*' options to support deferred
definition.
* Changes:
- higher accuracy: most complement calculations are now exact for
all 5-digit decimals;
- \rangeRGB and similar variables may now be changed at any point
in a document;
- \aftergroupdef now performs only a first-level expansion of its
code argument;
- \XCfileversion and similar internal constants removed from .sty
and .def files;
- improved memory management (reduced generation of `multiletter
control sequences' by [EMAIL PROTECTED] tests);
- several internal macros improved and/or renamed.
* Bugfixes:
- [EMAIL PROTECTED] could cause unwanted spaces when \psset was used
inside |pspicture| environments (`pstricks');
- arithmetic overflow could happen when too many decimal digits
were used within color parameters, e.g. as a result of `fp'
calculations.

Thanks for the update.
