CTAN update: expltools
by CTAN Announcements 06 May '25

06 May '25

Vít Starý Novotný submitted an update to the expltools package. Version: 2025-05-05 License: lppl1.3c gpl2+ Summary description: Development tools for expl3 programmers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ### explcheck v0.9.1 #### Fixes - Do not crash when `% noqa` is used. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #79, fixed in #81) - Allow any number of spaces and percent signs before `noqa`. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #80, fixed in #81) #### Continuous integration - Continuously prune the default config file `explcheck-config.toml`. (#78) The default config file `explcheck-config.toml` preconfigures many packages to prevent false positive detections of issues. However, as the capabilities of explcheck grow, many of these configurations are outdated and no longer necessary. This change adds a script `prune-explcheck-config.lua` that reads the default configuration and regression test results and then tests which parts of the configuration can be removed without affecting the results of the static analysis. Then, the script reminds the maintainer to remove these parts. - Run CI every Monday morning, after the weekly TeX Live Docker image has released. (#78) - Support simple `.tex` test files without associated `.lua` files. (#81) #### Documentation - Include the date of generation and the latest obsolete entry in the generated file `explcheck-obsolete.lua`. (#78) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/expltools The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/expltools/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

New on CTAN: logictools
by CTAN Announcements 05 May '25

05 May '25

Miles Min Yin Cheang submitted the logictools package. Version: 0.1.0 2025-05-03 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Additional tools for typesetting formal logic Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The logictools package is here! If you find yourself typesetting formal logic often, you should check it out! The star of the show is the formallogic environment, that makes it easy and fast to typeset good looking logic. Prior to the development of this environment, spending way too much time fiddling around with spacing commands was a familiar experience for every logician. Most of the spacing you need in a logical statement is context sensitive, so only so much can be done through basic macros. Furthermore, using too many macros destroys the readability of the code, and slows down writing to a crawl. In an effort to change this, I wrote an environment that both speeds up writing formal logic (by offering shorter syntax) and improves the output considerably. The default settings were made with LaTeX's default math font in mind, with the intention that the user come up with a preset that matches their preferences. The options can be changed on the fly, so more than one preset can be used in different parts of the document. Other than this, the option `oxford' will load a few neat macros that might be of particular interest to those studying logic at the University of Oxford; they provide shortcuts to notations that are commonly used in the first-year courses. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/logictools The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/logictools/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: mitthesis
by CTAN Announcements 05 May '25

05 May '25

John H. Lienhard submitted an update to the mitthesis package. Version: 1.20 2025-05-02 License: mit Summary description: A LaTeX template for an MIT thesis Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The mitthesis class formats an MIT thesis or dissertation according to the current requirements of the MIT Libraries. This template is appropriate for MIT theses of all types. It can be adapted for other institutions, if desired. This update includes user-level examples of simple customization of the design, through the [mydesign] key value option. A two-column nomenclature format (nomenclature*) has been added. Minor changes have been made to the default citation and reference styles. Other code tuning has been done under the hood, but these should be unnoticed by the driver. With appropriate class options and up-to-date software, mitthesis.cls can produce pdf files that meet the PDF/UA2 and tagged PDF standards and the WTPDF 1.0 accessibility and reuse profiles (https://demo.verapdf.org/, v1.28.1). Several examples of compliant files are included in the distribution. The 2022/11/01 LaTeX format is the recommended minimum version. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mitthesis More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/mitthesis -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
