- Transparency is now supported for PNG images, as well. As part of this, the default background is set to white in all languages and you explicitly need to use `background.color=none;` for signalling charts and block diagrams or ‘`bgcolor=none;`’ for graphs to achieve transparent background. (7.1)

- graph: cluster labels now display correctly (7.1)
