CTAN update: perltex
by Erik Braun 06 Dec '24

06 Dec '24

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the perltex package. Version number: 2.3 License type: lppl Summary description: Define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PerlTeX is a combination Perl script (perltex.pl) and LaTeX package (perltex.sty) that, together, give the user the ability to define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code. Once defined, a Perl macro becomes indistinguishable from any other LaTeX macro. PerlTeX thereby combines LaTeX's typesetting power with Perl's programmability. PerlTeX will make use of persistent named pipes, and thereby run more efficiently, on operating systems that offer them (mostly Unix-like systems). Also provided is a switch to generate a PerlTeX-free, document-specific, noperltex.sty that is useful when distributing a document to users who may not have access to PerlTeX. Version 2.3 alters the implementation of the LaTeX package to work around a change made in the LaTeX3 kernel that breaks PerlTeX. Thanks to Christian Hove Claussen for the bug report. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/perltex More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/perltex ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: postnotes
by CTAN Announcements 06 Dec '24

06 Dec '24

Gusbrs submitted an update to the postnotes package. Version: 0.5.1 2024-12-05 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Endnotes for LaTeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Changed The "legacy" version of the header support variables deprecated in v0.5.0 (see previous release notes in the change log) have been put under the new `deprecatedheadervars` option, which is opt-in, disabled by default. - The affected variables are, namely, `\pnhdpagefirst`, `\pnhdpagelast`, `\pnhdchapfirst`, `\pnhdchaplast`, `\pnhdsectfirst`, `\pnhdsectlast`, `\pnhdnamefirst`, and `\pnhdnamelast`. - Unless `deprecatedheadervars` is enabled, the use of any of these variables will result in an error, but with an informative message, recommending the use of the new `ltmarks` mark classes but also offering the `deprecatedheadervars` option as a temporary quick fix. - This option will only be offered for a transitional period and will be removed in the future. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/postnotes The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/postnotes/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: postnotes
by CTAN Announcements 05 Dec '24

05 Dec '24

gusbrs submitted an update to the postnotes package. Version: 0.5.0 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Endnotes for LaTeX Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## v0.5.0 (2024-12-03) ### Changed - The support for running headers in `\printpostnotes`, which previously generated its data by means of an internal cross-reference structure, has migrated to use the generalized mark mechanism provided by the `ltmarks` kernel module instead. This was a long due change, since `ltmarks` is *the* right tool for the task, but unfortunately was not available when `postnotes` was originally developed and released. In practice, we get improved functionality replacing what was a complicated cross-reference setup with a straightforward application of `ltmarks`. Very neat, if I may say so. Hat tip to `ltmarks` devs. ### Deprecated - The header support variables `\pnhdpagefirst`, `\pnhdpagelast`, `\pnhdchapfirst`, `\pnhdchaplast`, `\pnhdsectfirst`, `\pnhdsectlast`, `\pnhdnamefirst`, and `\pnhdnamelast` are deprecated in favor of the new `ltmarks` based mark classes. - For the sake of stability, the package still provides a "legacy" version of these variables, set using `ltmarks` data. This is meant to provide a window of opportunity for users to migrate to the new system smoothly, but *migrate you must*, since *these variables will be removed in the future*. Migrating should range somewhere between "very easy" and "trivial", and intervention is only needed if you used any of these variables to build custom headers. See the User manual for updated examples. - Also note that this "legacy version" of the variables require one more compilation run to converge, so there's also a clear benefit for you to adjust sooner rather than later. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/postnotes More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/postnotes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
