On Sat, 17 Jan 2004, Till Tantau uploaded new versions of his beamer and
pgf packages.
I installed them in
macros/latex/contrib/beamer
and
/graphics/pgf
respectively. Thanks for the updates.
Changelog is appended.
For the CTAN Team

> of contents.
> - Added inserts for numbering sections in the table of contents.
> - Added predefined templates for more fancyful table of contents.
> - Shadow theme now uses a numbered table of contents by
> default. Use \beamertemplateplaintoc to get the old behaviour.
> - Changed the syntax of \frame. Overlay specification must now be
> given in pointed brackets. (Old syntax is quietly tolerated.)
> - Command \plainframe has been replaced by \frame[plain]. (Old
> syntax is quietly tolerated.)
> - Renamed beamerboxes to beamerbaseboxes and beamertemplates to
> beamerbasetemplate. They are included automatically, so simply
> delete an inclusion of the old packages).

> - Uncover now also works for whole lines or passages in tables and
> alignments, both for completely invisible covered and
> transparent covered text.
> - Item balls/icons now change color inside beamerboxes according
> to the color scheme.
> - Added versioning system for head and toc entries. Will no longer
> do weird things when left over files from an old version are
> encountered. (Makes updating a lot easier.)
> - Slightly changed LyX stuff to work together with the syntax
> changes. Still no real documentation.
> - Uses version 1.06 of xcolor now.
> - Uses pgf 0.50 now.
> - Mechanism for alternate selection of images and shading is
> slightly changed and incompatible with the old one.
> - pgf's cvs is now also on SourceForge next to the beamer class.
>
> Version 0.50 of pgf:
> - Switched to version 1.06 of xcolor.
> - Core pgf no longer relies on xxcolor.
> - The syntax of the mechanism for choosing alternate images and
> shadings is more flexible now. The syntax has been changed
> (mainly, you now have to have a dot between the original name and
> the alternate extension).
> - Some xxcolor commands have been removed.
beamer – A LaTeX class for producing presentations and slides
The beamer LaTeX class can be used for producing slides.
The class works in both PostScript and direct PDF output modes,
using the pgf graphics system
for visual effects.
Content is created in the frame environment,
and each frame can be made up of a number of slides
using a simple notation for specifying material to
appear on each slide within a frame.
Short versions of title, authors, institute can also be
specified as optional parameters.
Whole frame graphics are supported by plain frames.
The class supports figure and table environments,
transparency effects, varying slide transitions and
animations.
Beamer also provides compatibility with other packages
like prosper.
The package now incorporates the functionality of the former
translator package, which is used for customising the
package for use in other language environments.
Beamer depends on the following other packages:
atbegshi,
etoolbox,
hyperref,
ifpdf,
pgf, and
translator.
