    The main highlight of this version is the fix of the oo-type sources =
    and transformers.
    They used parameters different from width and height to define the =
    shape,
    and the anchors were not stable (and some of them were plain wrong).
    It also adds several capabilities to them (anchors, additional =
    windings, and so on).=20
    Additionally, IGT thyristors and a couple of generic shapes (AC/DC =
    symbols)
    have been added.
    =20
    - Add anchors, additional winding, global scale switch, and symbol=20
    rotation to the oo-type component
    - Add IGCT thyristors
    - Add ac/dc symbols
    - Fix definition and stabilize anchors of oo- and ooo-type components.
    - Fix encoding of the manual, removing some latin1 chars and=20
    converting to utf8. Why that was working is a mystery.

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


    CTAN Release 1.8.4 (2026-01-07)

    The main highlights of this release are a new appearance (optional!) for blocks representing filters, some option to add style to the inner drawings of blocks (and some fixes for anchors too), and several new options.

    - Add a new set of filter blocks, add options for inner block drawings
    - Add the option to *not* draw the wiper in rotary switches
    - Add an option to change the aspect of `msrstub`
    - Add the singeneric (sine generic bipole) component
    - Fix a problem with dc symbol dashes
    - Fix the position of the left/right up/down anchors for node-type blocks
    - Minor fixes in the manual
    - Make the value of `bipoles/length` usable by `\ctikzvalof`
    - Add a key to customise the number of lines of the `gridnode` inner drawing

    For a complete list of the contributors, see CHANGELOG.md
