CTAN update: glossaries
by CTAN Announcements 24 Sep '21

24 Sep '21

Nicola Talbot submitted an update to the glossaries package. Version: 4.47 2021-09-20 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Create glossaries and lists of acronyms Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * added new files containing dummy entries for testing: - example-glossaries-longchild.tex - example-glossaries-childmultipar.tex * glossaries.sty: - Rollback to v4.46 is available, if necessary: usepackage{glossaries}[=v4.46] - bug fix #173 https://www.dickimaw-books.com/bugtracker.php?key=173 (.glsdefs not updated if entry definition modified) This bug fix has also led to support for the use of the 'see' key within the document environment. ** Delete your .glsdefs files on upgrading ** Note that this update slightly changes the format of the .glsdefs file. If you have a system that parses this file (for example, to pick up labels for autocompletion) it will need to be modified. Old format: ifglsentryexists{<label>}{}% {% gls@defglossaryentry{<label>}% {% <key value list> }% }% New format: glsdefs@newdocentry{<label>}% {% <key value list> }% - bug fix #162 https://www.dickimaw-books.com/bugtracker.php?key=162 ( ewacronym without setacronymstyle but with glsnoexpandfields has incorrect plurals) - bug fix #166 https://www.dickimaw-books.com/bugtracker.php?key=166 ( also needs escaping with makeindex's quote character in the event that the sort value contains commands like | or ! with sanitizesort=true) - bug file #177 https://www.dickimaw-books.com/bugtracker.php?key=177 (spurious glolist@ at the end of glslabels file with writeglslabels option) - new package option 'writeglslabelnames' (as writeglslabels but also writes the name) - added warnings to deprecated acronym style package options 'description', 'footnote', 'smaller', 'smallcaps', 'dua' and corresponding commands, such as SetDescriptionFootnoteAcronymStyle. (These package options and commands were deprecated in v4.02 2013-12-05 and have been labelled as deprecated in the manual since then.) The warnings can be suppressed with the 'nowarn' package option but it's better to use setacronymstyle instead (or switch to glossaries-extra's abbreviations). - replaced some instances of edef with protected@edef when defining control sequences that store labels or lists of labels. Similarly for xdef and eappto. (Aiming towards support for UTF-8 characters in labels with PDFLaTeX, but may not be fully implemented so not yet documented.) * makeglossaries-lite: - added hybrid instructions if glossaries-extra record option detected but not makeglossaries - bug fix #183 https://www.dickimaw-books.com/bugtracker.php?key=183 (bad argument #1 to 'gsub' when makeglossaries missing) - Only add double-quotes if filename contains any spaces (should address issue #129) * makeglossaries: - added hybrid instructions if glossaries-extra record option detected but not makeglossaries - only add double-quotes to makeindex/xindy if space occurs in the pathname. (Issue #129 for makeglossaries-lite will probably also cause the same problem for makeglossaries since it relates to the behaviour of certain versions of cmd.exe in Windows.) * user manual: - some sections have been rearranged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/glossaries The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/glossaries/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
