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

Karl Berry submitted an update to the
bibtex

Version: 0.99e
License: knuth
Summary description: Process bibliographies (bib files) for LaTeX or other formats
Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This minor update to bibtex.web, now version 0.99e, merely fixes problems with
formatting with weave. Apart from the version number, there are no changes to
the code whatsoever.
Specifically, the following changes were made:
- following tex.web, no more active `E.
- following tex.web, use \TeX for the TeX logo; the bibtex.web kerning had been
slightly different.
- sort the "names of the sections" better (thanks to Andreas Scherer).
- a few random typos that have gone unnoticed all these years.
