CTAN update: ltMermaid
by CTAN Announcements 23 Oct '26

23 Oct '26

Ryoya Ando submitted an update to the ltMermaid package. Version: 1.1 2026-10-22 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Embed Mermaid diagrams in LaTeX Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.1 of ltmermaid (mermaid.sty and ltmermaid.sty) is now available. - Support for Mermaid CLI 12: Mermaid CLI 12 removed the -f (--pdfFit) option, so every diagram failed with v1.0c. The -f option is now passed only when the renderer reports Mermaid CLI 11 or older. The new \MermaidPdfFit command always passes it. - A diagram is rendered only when its source or the renderer settings change. Diagram PDFs therefore stay unchanged between runs, and latexmk converges. - mermaid.sty now supports -output-directory, including with upLaTeX + dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. - ltmermaid.sty: fixed output file name conflicts between the mermaid environment and \mermaidfile. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ltmermaid More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/ltmermaid -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

This includes the character "心" (xīn)—which had received significant user feedback—as well as various Simplified Chinese characters that were poorly implemented during the project's early stages. Additionally, 50 frequently used Small Seal Script (小篆) characters—sourced from the new additions in Unicode 18.0—have been incorporated into the full version of LXGW WenKai. Symbols for dice and Mahjong tiles have also been added. The ongoing process of refining glyphs remains a long-term project. > > - Update `LXGWZhenKaiGB` to the `Slab` Version > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > This package is located at > https://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/lxgw-fonts > > More information is at > https://ctan.org/pkg/lxgw-fonts > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Thanks for the upload. > > For the CTAN Team > Vincent Goulet > > > CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. > Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs.
