Maybe we can make a release in the coming days. It's not going to contain a lot of fixes and features, but I think we also shouldn't hold back fixes longer than necessary.

Qrrbrbirlbel: Hi I saw two of your PRs (#1179 and #1182) were closed last week due to deletion of the head repository (your pgf fork https://github.com/Qrrbrbirlbel/pgf-tikz, now invalid).

It seems then you re-created a pgf fork (https://github.com/Qrrbrbirlbel/tikz-sloped) for PR #1287 (maybe because the default branch "master" in your fork is used as the head branch in #1287), thus I'm guessing you might still want to contribute the closed two PRs in the future?

Hi. I've seen it's quite silent in here, but maybe somebody has an idea: I'm struggling to get /pgfplots/table/string replace* to work; it only replaces digits in numbers but not words in a string. Is this the expected behaviour?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}

\begin{filecontents}{file.dat}
testABCtest, Header
testABCtest, Body
\end{filecontents}

\begin{document}

\pgfplotstabletypeset[string type,col sep=comma,string replace*={ABC}{abc},]
{file.dat}

\end{document}

Hmm, yeah, interesting. I just tried to throw together a MWE and it worked, too :headscratch:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{pgfplotstable}

\pgfplotstableread[col sep=comma,header=false]{
Lorem,20,kg
Ipsum,42,m
Very long key,200,g
}\mytable

\begin{document}

\pgfplotstabletypeset[
  every head row/.style={output empty row},
  columns/0/.append style={
    string type,
    column type={l},
    postproc cell content/.append style={
      /pgfplots/table/@cell content/.add={}{:\quad}
    },
    /pgfplots/table/string replace*={Very long}{V.l.}
  },
  columns/1/.append style={
    numeric type,
    fixed,
    column type={r}
  },
  columns/2/.append style={
    string type,
    column type={l}
  }
]{\mytable}

\end{document}

cf.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{pgfplotstable}

\pgfplotstableread[col sep=comma,header=false,text indicator="]{
Lorem,20,kg
Ipsum,42,m

}\mytable

\begin{document}

\pgfplotstabletypeset[
  every head row/.style={output empty row},
  columns/0/.append style={
    string type,
    column type={l},
    postproc cell content/.append style={
      /pgfplots/table/@cell content/.add={}{:\quad}
    },
    /pgfplots/table/string replace*={Very long}{V.l.}
  },
  columns/1/.append style={
    numeric type,
    fixed,
    column type={r}
  },
  columns/2/.append style={
    string type,
    column type={l}
  }
]{\mytable}

\end{document}

They are. But changed to a group. -> I send you a direct message with an example guess we shouldn't spam that channel too much
