CTAN update: xecjk
by CTAN Announcements 13 Jul '26

13 Jul '26

Liam Huang submitted an update to the xecjk package. Version: 3.10.2 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Support for CJK documents in XeLaTeX Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This release introduces new options for em-dash (破折号) ligature handling and Latin punctuation switching, improves line-breaking and spacing around long punctuation marks, and fixes two `CJKecglue`-related bugs. NEW FEATURES - Add `PoZheHao` character class to support font-level em-dash ligatures (#382). - Add `PoZheHaoLigature` option to enable font-level em-dash ligature support (#382). - Add `LatinPunct` option, allowing shared CJK/Latin curly quotes, middle dots, and ellipses to be switched to their Latin punctuation counterparts (#389, #431). IMPROVEMENTS - Check kinsoku (line-breaking prohibition) rules on both sides of a break point between long punctuation and other punctuation: an opening punctuation mark must not hang at the end of a line, and a closing punctuation mark or `NoBreakLongPunct` must not appear at the start of a line (#456). - Treat `PoZheHao`-class characters as fullwidth closing punctuation (#382). - Change the compression amount between em-dashes to a multi-way maximum, ensuring that two consecutive `U+2014` do not exceed two Chinese character widths in total (#382). - Add a new check to coordinate blank compensation for em-dashes occupying two character widths (#382). - When ligature is not enabled, add one full blank on each side of an em-dash to ensure consecutive em-dashes occupy two character widths (#382). - Restore `PoZheHaoLigature` settings after reset (#382). - Restore `LatinPunct` settings after reset (#389). BUG FIXES - Use `\setlanguage` to actively flush a language whatsit when closing a `\verb` group, fixing the doubled `CJKecglue` issue when a source-code space appears to the right of `\verb` (#919). - Patch `\meta` from the `doc` package to wrap argument content in `\hbox:n`, fixing the spurious `CJKecglue` before the first character inside `\meta` (#951). DOCUMENTATION - Enable `Language` and `PoZheHaoLigature` for the documentation font, so em-dashes are rendered as fullwidth ligature glyphs (#382). - Switch the documentation monospaced font to Zhuque Fangsong and the italic font to LXGW WenKai GB Lite (#908).

Fu Zhang submitted the revbadge package. Version: 1.0 License: mit Summary description: Multi-color highlight builder featuring block and inline revision badges Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The revbadge package provides an elegant, column-safe framework designed specifically for tracking major revisions and minor modifications in academic manuscripts. The package features a dual-component architecture: the revbadge block environment for handling long paragraphs, multi-line equations, lists, and sections; and the \revbadgeinline macro for executing tight, mid-sentence word corrections without disrupting standard line spacing. Both components feature a dynamic colored badge mechanism that labels modifications on the fly. To simplify linking text revisions directly back to a peer-review response matrix or letter, the package provides native, automated integration with hyperref and cleveref under a unified "highlight" reference counter. Additionally, revbadge comes pre-packaged with a vibrant, 24-theme color palette accessible via highly memorable 4-letter macro color identifiers (e.g., blue, gren, orng, purp, ylow, grey). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/revbadge More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/revbadge -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Version: 3.3 2026-07-09 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Lua-based mathematical graphs for LuaLaTeX Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * The *luadraw_pdfliteral* module has been added; it allows for direct drawing within the PDF stream — including 2D paths, 2D polylines, sets of 2D points (circular), or 3D facets — without using the \draw command.
