Summary description: Improve the typesetting of matrices and tabulars with PGF
Announcement text:
New key 'color-of-false' for the color of the "false rows" created by \FalseRow and the "false columns" created by the letter F. New key 'empty' for the command \Block. When that key is in force, all the cells of the block will be considered as empty, and that impacts, for example, the computation of the "corners" (when the key 'corners' is used).
This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicematrix More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/nicematrix
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Manfred Lotz CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs .

Nicematrix – Improve the typesetting of matrices and tabulars with PGF
This package is based on the package array. It creates PGF/TikZ nodes under the cells of the array and uses these nodes to provide functionalities to construct tabulars, arrays and matrices.
Among the features :
- continuous dotted lines for the mathematical matrices;
- exterior rows and columns (so-called border matrices);
- control of the width of the columns;
- tools to color rows and columns with a good PDF result;
- blocks of cells;
- tabular notes;
- etc.
The package requires and loads array, amsmath, pgfcore, and the module shapes of PGF.
