Python has a beautiful statement:

  from __future__ import something

Unfortunately the real world doesn't work that way.  The only reliable
form of time travel known to mankind is waiting - it'll reliably bring
you into the future.

The examples with clipping, tiling patterns, and user-defined arrows
work already in Ipe 7.0.4.  You can try them if you replace
version="70005" by version="70000" in the files.

The examples with gradients and transparency will work in Ipe 7.0.5,
available tomorrow or the day after.

Enjoy!
