Version 6.0.1 (2023-02-12)

• Typo in CHANGES.md (issue #211)

• New option for verbatim output and listings:
  • Option verbatim ignore indention at end
• Option short title (part of issue #186)
• Support for zref / zref-titleref / zref-clever (issue #206)

Changed

• Possible visible change: previous hacks of current color handling are removed (issue #204)
  and color is now inserted at begin of all internal \boxes. This inserts a whatsit and can
  give additional space at begin of a box which starts with an itemize or a similar environment.
  If necessary, such a space may be removed by a manual \vspace{-\parsep}, see issue #123
  Note: lualatex with package luacolor removes all spacing problems
• While producing new types of tcolorbox environment by \newtcolorbox
  leading and trailing spaces are now removed from the environment name
• before title appends \ignorespaces now
• after title prepends \unskip now
• tcbverbatimwrite sets verbatim ignore indention at end to remove spaces from
  indention of the end of environment
• nameref also sets zref-titleref reference
• label type is used for cleveref and zref-clever
• The 'TikZ Image and Picture Fill Extensions' are extracted from library skins
  into an tcolorbox indendent TikZ library tikzfill.image and made part
  of a new package tikzfill. Also, the respective documentation is moved into
  this new package (issue #185)
• Library skins: The implementation of all watermark options is changed and
  adapted to tikzfill. clip watermark=false has now some restrictions (see documentation)
• Library skins: \tcbincludegraphics implementation changed to LaTeX3 code
  (should be more robust; inspired by issue #209)
• Temporary \tcbcounter in \newtcolorbox[auto counter] undefined/restored after usage (issue #203)
• Color setting example of subtitle inside subtitle style (issue #189)
• Documentation:
  • The documentation orders now \New..., \Renew..., \Provide..., \Declare....
    Previously, \Declare... was often used first.
  • NewTotalTColorBox cannot be used with saveto or savelowerto (issue #205)
  • Replacing \tikzname by TikZ in a comment line (issue #207)
  • list entry, list text, add to list moved from Counters, Labels, and References
    to Lists of tcolorboxes for clarification (issue #194)

Removed

• Code \tcb@undo@before which tried to undo vertical space for a breakable box
  which does not fit partially on the current page but needs to go to the following page.
  This code did not achieve the goal and was error-prone (issue #200, hint inside issue #183)

Fixed

• \Provide... commands and environments process initialization options (issue #187)
• Default initialization options were not issued, if \newtcolorbox was used without options (issue #194)
• Typo in \RenewTCBox and \RenewTotalTCBox caused errors (issue #201)
• Typo in README.md (issue #196)

Version 5.1.1 (2022-06-24)

  the situation before v4.40 (with some inconsistencies)
