    Several new blocks, more flexible generic anchors for blocks,
    and a new option to align the signs on American-style voltage
    sources.

    - Added `saturation` block
    - Added `iamp`, `sigmoid`, and `allornothing` blocks
    - Added optical fiber `fiber` block
    - Now, the position of the lateral anchors (`left up` and similar)
    of blocks is configurable
    - Now you can choose how the signs on American-style sources
    rotate when the source is not vertical
    - A new section in the manual about related packages

    There are no big changes here, but the change to the resistor code
    (maybe one of the most used by the package) well deserves a minor
    version bump.
    There are a couple of new components and several minor fixes.

    - New component: new kind of current tap
    - New arrow tip `Jack Tap` to help draw jack connectors
    - Change the drawing of the thermocouple
    - Change and enhancement to the drawing of the American resistors,
    fixing a long-standing small asymmetry that nobody noticed
    - Minor adjustment for joins in `viscoe` component
    - Minor additions (`rectjoinfill`) and fixes in documentation

    Various new blocks have been added, and several fixes have been applied
    (the barrier one is slightly backward-incompatible...).

    - Added a flag to have German-style TVS
    - Added many blocks all over the map
    - Fix for straight voltage on `open` bipoles
    - Fix a very, very old bug about aliases for American/European sources
    - Fix `barrier` wire linewidth
    - Fix stroke-type transorb (which did not work at all)
    - Reduce `barrier` and `openbarrier` default widths so no wire is drawn by default.
    - Documentation enhancement (example of chopper macro)

    A couple of new components (wiggly bulbs and a new "oO" type autotransformer), and several small corrections.

    - Fix leaking filament in `bulb` bipole
    - Fix small incoherence between width/height in oo-type sources
    - New component: Wiggly bulb (suggested by Sebastiano)
    - New component: "zero-type" autotransformer (suggested by Max Börjesson)
    - Allow to set the index position for square instruments (by Julien Labbé])

    The change that deserves a version-level bump is applied to the path logic, which fixes a longstanding bug (or lack of feature),
    which enables the embedding of `circuitikz` paths
    into pics (among other things; see the related issue).

    - Fix errors when path-style components are used in pics
    (and in some other places; fix by Romano,
    see https://github.com/circuitikz/circuitikz/issues/866
    - Add rollback point for version 1.7.2
    - Several fixes and additions to the manual

    Minor changes: better documentation on using pics for subcircuits,
    a new style of MOSFETs, completing the "plain" amplifiers.

    - add Andrew Stacey's `tikzmark` library to the manual
    - add FDSOI MOSFETs
    - New component: `plain gm mono amp`
    - documentation enhancements

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

    Another significant change for Circuitikz’s internals: all the text
    anchors of the components are now stable, meaning they are meaningful
    after the component has been drawn. That was the case only for part of
    the components. It *shouldn't* affect anything for standard usage, but
    according to the Ti*k*Z manual, this is “the way”.

    Additionally, new label positions for transistors, and a much better
    alphabetical index in the manual.

    - Stabilize all the text anchors
    - Fix text anchors for blocks `oscillator` and `gridnode`
    - Add `component text=up` or `...down` for transistor labels
    - Documentation fixes for text anchors
    - Better index entries (use *seealso*, hyperlink in every entry).
    Thanks to David Carlisle for the hint.
