    dirtreex

    package.

    Version: 1.1 2026-05-27

    Summary description: Directory tree rendering for LaTeX with TikZ

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

    This release brings native support for verbatim paths, new archive
    entry types, and removes the legacy 'environ' dependency in favor
    of LaTeX's native environment hooks.

    New Features:
    - \archive & \verbarchive: New container-style entries that
    render without the trailing slash, designed for archive files
    (e.g., .zip, .tar.gz).
    The \verb... variant utilizes xparse's verbatim argument,
    allowing paths with special characters to survive without
    escaping;
    - \verbdir & \verbfile: Verbatim siblings of \dir and \file,
    safely handling path names containing _, $, &, #, ^, ~, %,
    \, {, }, or |;
    - Line style per-entry override: A new override key accepting
    any TikZ line-style token;
    - Public \DirtreexGetField{idx}{slot}: Allows user-supplied
    \renewcommand\DirtreexFormatName hooks to read stored entry
    fields safely without \makeatletter.
