CTAN update: memoir
by CTAN Announcements 03 Oct '25

03 Oct '25

Lars Madsen submitted an update to the memoir package. Version: 3.8.4 2025-10-02 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Typeset fiction, non-fiction and mathematical books Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long overdue maintenance update. From the README Changes (2025/10/02) o memoir v3.8.4 -- bumped required kernel to 2023/06/01 -- general cleanup -- When creating \immediateaddtocontents we copy and patch \addtocontents, with 2025 kernel the second patch failed due to updated kernel code, now back in line whenever the new macro used exists -- removed reference to obsolete subfigure package, replaced with reference to subcaption. -- remembered to redefine \addtopsmarks as it was using a macro now deprecated -- fixed typo in \m@m@makecoltext that caused \enlargethispage to malfunction. Reported in https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/747571/3929 -- changed \bookrefname, \partrefname and \appendixrefname to use \bookname, \partname and \appendixname instead of being hardcoded. Suggested in private email -- marked \fref, \tref, \pref, \Aref, \Bref, \Pref, \Cref, \Sref as deprecated encouraging users to define their own version in the preamble. Too many packages these days provide referencing macros, general use classes should not. Any use of them will now give a warning, encouraging the user to define the macro in their preamble instead. -- added \settitlingpagenumbering and adjusted the titlingpage env such that inside it \thepage uses the formatting macro set via \settitlingpagenumbering (it expects a macro to format the presence of a counter). The main use is \settitlingpagenumbering{\Alph} when using hyperref in order to get rid of a duplicate destination warning caused by the titlingpage env. -- \createplainmark simplified via Expl3 -- dropped the use of the textcase package as the functionality is now in the kernels \MakeUppercase and \MakeLowercase macros. We provide \MakeTextUppercase and \MakeTextLowercase as aliases unless textcase is manually loaded by the user. Internally we reverted back to using \MakeUppercase and \MakeLowercase. -- \settocpreprocessor marked deprecated as the problem it was addes to solve (upper/lower casing toc entries), is now fixed in the \MakeUppercase and \MakeLowercase macros provided by the kernel. -- Fixed typo in \cftbookbreak -- copied a feature from book.cls where \chapter writes \chaptername/\appendixname plus number to the log. Felt like a nice debugging tool. -- replaced all uses of \phantomsection with more suitable \MakeLinkTarget's -- added suitable \MakeLinkTarget to \book, \part and \chapter when ever they are used and there is not \refstepcounter involved (aka say \chapter* or within \frontmatter). This is required on the road to supporting tagging. -- the overwriting of \@xsect changed to a patch -- fixed issues with \cftaddtitleline and cftaddnumtitleline -- Removed email addresses of issue/suggestion reporters from the sources. Seemed like an invasion of privacy to keep them from 20+ years ago. -- fixed issue with \bitwonumcaption which caused duplicate target warning when used with hyperref. -- fixed a bug in \subcaption and friends initially reported here: https://github.com/latex3/latex2e/issues/1861 Ulrikes proposed solution simplifies our code a lot, and removes a \let\label... which is a dangerous construction nowadays. As a consequence the allowed \label syntax of \label(bookmark}{key} inside \subcaption and friends has been discontinued. -- additions to \end@float and \end@dblfloat changed to cmd-before hooks. -- adjusted \subtop and \subbottom such that \label inside contents works, not just as part of subtitle. Plan to rework these two a bit more in 3.8.5 o memhfixc v1.24 -- some old code removed -- \@sbook adjusted to look more like the current hyperref version of \@spart. -- added \bookautorefname for more languages -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoir More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/memoir -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
