    Summary description: Adobe Photoshop Data format (PSD) support for graphicx package
    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    ## Major Updates in `graphicxpsd` v2.0
    * **Transition to `expl3**`: Completely rewrote the package core using the modern LaTeX3 (`expl3`) interface, improving maintainability and namespace cleanliness.
    * **Modern Option Processing**: Replaced legacy option handling with the `l3keys` module for robust and flexible key-value processing.
    * **Native Shell Escape**: Removed the dependency on the external `shellesc` package. Now utilizes the native `expl3` function (`\sys_shell_now:e`) to execute external commands safely.
    * **Smart Engine Detection**: Implemented the `l3sys` module to automatically detect the TeX engine and output format (PDF vs. DVI), providing a smarter fallback mechanism without legacy conditional branches.
