A multiple fraction bar bug in texpath was fixed. Warning messages and portability issues were addressed. A frame label alignment problem was fixed.

CTAN update: expl3
by CTAN Announcements 11 Jul '10

11 Jul '10

the upload daemon got this one to me while i was processing the previous one: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: expl3 > Author's name: LaTeX3 Project > Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/expl3/ > Summary description: Packages supporting LaTeX3 programming conventions > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > The expl3 bundle: Low-level LaTeX3 programming conventions > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > The files of the expl3 bundle provide a low-level API for TeX > programmers with special syntax conventions, completely > separating it from document level syntax. Hence, the commands > provided are not intended for use at the document level nor for > use in describing design layouts in document class files. > > This API provides the foundation on which the LaTeX3 kernel > and other advanced extensions are built. Special care has been > taken so that they can be used within a LaTeX2e context as > regular packages. > > The TeX and eTeX primitives are all given a new name according > to these conventions. However, in the main direct use of the > primitives is not required or encouraged: the expl3 modules > define an independent low-level LaTeX3 programming language. > > At present, the expl3 modules are designed to be loaded on top > of LaTeX2e: > > usepackage{expl3} > > In time, a LaTeX3 format will be produced based on this code. > This allows the code to be used in LaTeX2e packages now while a > stand-alone LaTeX3 is developed. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > This release (SVN 1981) > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > The first stage of creating a fixed-point arithmetic system for > LaTeX3 is included in this release.
