Restored lost functionality in intersections / fillbetween feature
exponent in color specs
Thanks for the request. This might be possible to fix, although probably not in pgfplots but in pgf/tikz (or in xcolor?). Depending on how many colors you have to export, you might be better off if you generate a sequence of \definecolor invocations (see the xcolor manual or the pgfmanual.pdf for details). This saves lots of time for the TeX translation. Example invocation in the RGB space (range 0-255): \pgfutil@definecolor{BuGn-A}{RGB}{247,252,253} I believe the space 'rgb' (lower case) accepts...
Bad interaction between [text=color] and \color{...}
Reopening: unfortunately, the fix caused a failure to use dvips in conjunction with PGF. I had to revert it for now.
The root cause is the fix for https://sourceforge.net/p/pgf/bugs/362/ . Reverting it repairs this issue and the dvips manual compiles -- almost fine. I also fixed the dvips manual - another unrelated issue prevented its final conversion to PDF. For now, I will revert the fix for bug 362 (and the preliminary fix for this ticket) and release a hotfix release of PGF soon.
