07 Mar '25

Lars Madsen submitted an update to the memoir package. Version: 3.8.3 2025-03-06 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Typeset fiction, non-fiction and mathematical books Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From the README: Changes (2025/03/06) o memoir v3.8.3 -- A few places we loaded package using \usepackage, now changed to \RequirePackage. Plus under very large font sizes, don't auto load `fontenc` under Xe- and LuaLaTeX. -- Has started marking some macros and envs as deprecated, to be removed at a later date (2026). Each will give a warning at their first use. The macros/envs include: -- \addtodef(*), \addtoiargdef(*) and \patchcommand They have better alternatives in the etoolbox and xpatch packages (which we already load). Additionally these macros does not preserve robustness, the macros from xpatch does. -- \newloglike, \provideloglike Users should use \DeclareMathOperator from amsopn (amsmath) -- The redefinitions of \title, \author, \date, \thanks now done via \xpretocmd and \xapptocmd instead of \addtoiargdef which did not preserve robustness. -- The provided code for \counterwithin/out and \@removefromreset has fininally been removed. All three macros have been in the LaTeX-kernel since 2018. -- Internal code cleanup regarding macros that are not used -- Reimplemented how verse numbers are added thus fixing <https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/609802/3929> This is a slight change in behavior, as now line numbers are always added at the start of the line and not the end. Old implementation added the numbers at the end, and thus they are aligned with the last line of a line broken line. -- Changed the implementation for \cftinserthook. It can have some ordering issuses when \include is used, \cftinserthook* should now help. Note that it may force a \clearpage so should only be used between \include's -- Changed \settocdepth in a similar fashion to \cftinserthook. -- Memoir will now warn if the fancyhdr package is loaded. Users should use the build in interface instead. Additionally warn against titlesec and titlepos -- Chose different defaults for \partmark and \bookpagemark. Problem reported in <https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/737771/3929> -- Breaking change: Changed the code for the "article" chapter style. \chapterheadstart was changed to use \addvspace (like \section) instead of \vspace. This will lead to a (small) difference in vertical spacing when the "article" chapter style is used, fx under the "article" class option. Problem reported in <https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/732129/3929> -- changed \cftchapterbreak so it now also contains the vertical skip (similar to what \part and book does). Unsure why it did not already Note that this may affect existing documents if users have redefined \cftchapterbreak in order to change the penalty -- refactored \cftbookbreak, \cftpartbreak and \cftchapterbreak such that the penalty used is now configurable as \cftbeforebookpenalty, \cftbeforepartpenalty and \cftbeforechapterpenalty. They all have the same default value of -\@highpenalty -- In \cftchapterbreak and in all toc entries generated by \newlistentry the macro that executes \cftbeforeXskip has now been factored out into a macro that can be set using \setcftvspacecmd{\macro} The default is still \vskip, but users might want to change it to \addvspace for new documents. Issue reported in private email. One can argue that \addvspace would be the best choice going forward, but this also means slightly shifting upwards the first page of the toc for all memoir docs that uses \tableofcontents. For now this has been deemed undesirable. -- no longer load the mparhack package in twocolumn mode. There are packages there are incomparible with it, thus better for the user to explicitly load it themself if they need it. Issue reported in private email. o memhfixc v1.23 -- renamed Hpagenote counter to mem@Hpagenote to avoid hyperef warning. -- added \bookautorefname support for french, requested in private email. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/memoir The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: datatool
by CTAN Announcements 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

Nicola Talbot submitted an update to the datatool package. Version: 3.0 2025-03-03 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Tools to load and manipulate data Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Major rewrite. Rollback to v2.32 available if there are any issues. Key features: - new 'math' package options: math=lua and math=l3fp. If not specified, the defaults are now math=lua for LuaLaTeX and math=l3fp otherwise. The older options are still supported, but the newer ones are better and support scientific notation. - parsed formatted numbers and currency have their values embedded within the control sequence variable for easy access without having to reparse. Note that this affects expansion, which may cause a difference from v2.32. For example: \DTLparse\result{\$12,345.67} Original text: \result. Data type: \DTLgetDataTypeName{\DTLdatumtype{\result}}. Numeric value: \DTLdatumvalue{\result}. Currency symbol: \DTLdatumcurrency{\result}. In this case, \result will only expand as far as the original text. To fully expand use \DTLusedatum{\result}. - For databases that contain numeric values that will be used in calculations (including plotting), use \DTLsetup{store-datum} (before creating the database) to embed the numeric information within the database entries. This should improve build time but may impair fast data lookup of unique strings. - New multi-purpose \DTLaction command with key=value interface that may be used instead of the alternative commands with long names. - New sort functions that internally use \seq_sort:Nn for faster sorting. The old sort commands still work but the newer ones are more efficient. Note: the glossaries package uses the datatool-base sorting commands for \printnoidxglossary. If you are using that command you may notice a difference. Make sure you have at least glossaries v4.56 to take advantage of the improved sorting and new localisation support. - Localisation support has been added for orthography (alphabet order for word sorting) and for numeric parsing (currency symbols, number group separator and decimal character). Support for numeric parsing and currency is supplied by datatool-regions which needs to be installed separately. Support for orthography is supplied by the applicable language module, which needs to be installed separately. Currently only datatool-english is available. For example (assuming datatool v3.0, datatool-regions and datatool-english are all installed): \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setromanfont{Noto Serif} \usepackage[locales={en-BE,ang-Latn}]{datatool-base} \newcommand{\wordlist}{ýþung, eásteweard, áǽðan, Œthelwald, þorn, æsċ, eaþ-fynde, ðæt, Æðelþryð, aardvark, zebra, ƿēana, Oswine} \begin{document} Currency: \DTLdecimaltocurrency{1234.56}{\result}\result. \DTLenLocaleHook \DTLsortwordlist{\wordlist}{\DTLsortletterhandler} Sorted list: \DTLformatlist{\wordlist}. \DTLangLatnLocaleHook \DTLsortwordlist{\wordlist}{\DTLsortletterhandler} Sorted list: \DTLformatlist{\wordlist}. \DTLresetRegion \DTLresetLanguage Currency: \DTLdecimaltocurrency{1234.56}{\result}\result. \DTLsortwordlist{\wordlist}{\DTLsortletterhandler} Sorted list: \DTLformatlist{\wordlist}. \end{document} The result is: Currency: 1.234,56€.

CTAN update: gregoriotex
by CTAN Announcements 01 Mar '25

01 Mar '25

Fr. Samuel Springuel submitted an update to the gregoriotex package. Version: 6.1.0 License: gpl3 Summary description: Engraving Gregorian Chant scores Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the release intended to go into TeX Live 2025. ### Fixed - Multiple Scribus render frames were all using the same file name, which would result in the same score appearing in all render frames. This change makes the score files use an available Scribus variable to force multiple file names. - When kpsewhich cannot write to a particular location, it generates an error which is directed to stderr but not to our glog file. This created an undocumented error when trying to write to a gtex file to a bad location. We now capture stderr output produced when compiling scores and redirect it to our glog file so that the error is properly recorded. Fixes [#1541](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1541). - Fixed the interaction between hyphens and styles. See [#1538](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1538). - Fixed the loss of ongoing styles when a syllable starts with a forced center. See [#1551](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1551). - Fixed first syllables of one letter with a style causing a segfault. See [#1585](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1585). - Fixed a bug that caused a custos to sometimes change into a clef. See [#1373](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1373). - Fixed the alignment of 2-line initials so that an initial's baseline more exactly aligns with the baseline of the lowest line it appears next to. - When fancyhdr and GregorioTeX are used together, GregorioTeX's disabling of hyphenation and its `post_linebreak` modification of the `post_linebreak_filter` interfere with multiline headers. Using the `fancyhdr/before` and `fancyhdr/after` hooks we temporarily reenable hyphenation and disable our `post_linebreak` modification while headers and footers are being processed in the middle of a score. See [#1603](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1603). - Fixed a bug that could cause a hyphen to appear on the wrong line. See [#1319](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1319). - Fixed the placement of above-lines text (`<alt>`) relative to a note above the staff or when the number of staff lines is not 4. See [#1613](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1613) and [#1614](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1614). - Fixed a bug where the above-lines text (`<alt>`) could collide with a note above the staff. See [#1613](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1613). - Fixed a bug that could cause the clef and staff to be printed too high. See [#1503](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1503). ### Changed - Modified gregorio to write to the log file specified as an argument and to send all messages to it (except errors about opening the log file itself). See [#1541](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1541) and [#1628](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1628). - Defined an output directory for gtex and glog files. Default is `tmp-gre`. This can be changed using `\gresetoutputdir{...}`. Fixes [#1393](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1393), [#1542](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1542), and [#1571](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1571). - GregorioTeX no longer searches for and reuses existing gtex files using kpathsea; it only looks in the output directory. - If gtex or glog files from other versions of gregorio are found either in the same directory as the gabc file or in the output directory, they are deleted. - gabc.vim has been expanded into a proper vim plugin. ### Added - Added a configurable setting `\gresetunisonbreakbehavior` to control automatic line breaks between unison notes above a syllable. Defaults to `breakable` for backwards compatibility, but may be set to `unbreakable` if that behavior is desired. See [#1504](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1504). - Added the ability to fuse upwards to a virga. See [#1558](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1558) - Added the ability to use the "stroke" form of a clivis instead of the default two-notes form by specifying `[shape:stroke]` after the clivis to change. See [#1558](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1558) - Allow `\gresetinitiallines{n}` where `n` is any number of lines (a non-negative integer). The manual linebreaks (`z`) that used to be required for 2-line initials are no longer required. See [#1488](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1488). Added new options `\gresetinitialanchor` and `\gresetinitialposition` to control the placement of initials. - Added new alterations: soft flat (X) and sharp (##), which appear when there is no previous flat or sharp (respectively) in effect, and soft natural (Y), which appears when there is a previous flat or sharp in effect. A new option `\gresetalterationeffect` determines what the "effect" of an alteration is. It defaults to `line`, which is useful for Dominican chant. See [#157](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/157) and also [#1575](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1575). - 9 new St. Gall neume glyphs have been added to the `gregall` font. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/gregoriotex More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/gregoriotex -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Christian Tellechea submitted an update to the spreadtab package. Version: 0.6 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Spreadsheet features for LaTeX tabular environments Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- spreatab v0.6 ------------- New in v0.6: 1. l3fp is now the only possible calculation engine, so it is mandatory to use a version of LaTeX later than the integration of xfp into the kernel on 2022/06/01. 2. Support for the old fp calculation engine is permanently discontinued. 3. The package options are discontinued since there is no longer a choice of calculation engine. 4. The environment now operates in a semi-simple group. 5. The simplekv package is loaded to use the key/value system. The macro \STset{keys=values} is made available. 6. /!\ Change in syntax: the optional argument of \begin{spreatdab} now exclusively accepts keys/values, and thus: * \STsavecell is replaced by the key "save list." * \STdebug and \STdisplaytab are replaced by the key "debug." This will break the previous use of the optional argument, but this change is required! 7. If \STxp is present in the table, the macro triggers the full expansion of its argument when reading the table. 8. The macro \STmakegtag is removed. Assignments via the macro-function 'tag' are always global due to point 4. 9. The 'tag' function, if the key "tag to aux" key is set to 'true', writes the assignments to the .aux file. 10. The key "aux save list" with value 'macroA=cellA, macroB=cellB,...' writes the assignments to the .aux file. 11. The macros \STautoround, \STsetdecimalsep, \STeol, \STsetdisplaymarks, \STmessage, \STnumericfieldmarker, \STtranposechar, and \STtextcell, although still functional (but no longer documented), will be removed in the next version in favor of \STset{key=value}. 12. The macro-functions 'ifeq', 'ifgt', and 'iflt' will be removed in the next version since l3fp has the '?' operator. 13. Formatting, cleaning, and code improvements. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/spreadtab More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/spreadtab -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Version: 3.5 2025-02-26 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Bundle together all the files needed to build a LaTeX document Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bundledoc is a post-processor for the snapshot package that bundles together all the classes, packages, and files needed to build a given LaTeX document. It reads the .dep file that snapshot produces, finds each of the files mentioned therein, and archives them into a single .tar.gz (or .zip, or whatever) file, suitable for moving across systems, transmitting to a colleague, etc. As an added bonus, this distribution includes a small script called arlatex. arlatex is a LaTeX-specific archiving program that combines a bunch of files into a single .tex file. When the .tex file is run through latex, all of the original files are recreated and the LaTeX document is built. bundledoc can be easily configured to use arlatex as its archiver in place of tar, zip, etc. Version 3.5 of bundledoc is more robust to filenames containing characters that are special to the shell. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/bundledoc The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/bundledoc/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: expltools
by CTAN Announcements 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

Vít Starý Novotný submitted an update to the expltools package. Version: 2025-02-25 License: lppl1.3c gpl2+ Summary description: Development tools for expl3 programmers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version: 2025-02-24 ### explcheck v0.7.0 #### Development - Generate a static web site for the exploration of issues in all expl3 files from TeX Live. (discussed with @norbusan and @koppor in #28 and #32, implemented in <https://github.com/koppor/explcheck-issues> by @koppor) The web site is available here: <https://koppor.github.io/explcheck-issues/>. - Add support for config file sections `[filename."=E2=80=A6"]` for specifying file-specific configuration. (#32, #57, #62) For example, here is how you might configure a file `expl3-code.tex` from your configuration file `.explcheckrc`: ``` toml [filename."expl3-code.tex"] expl3_detection_strategy =3D "always" ignored_issues =3D ["w200", "w202", "e209"] max_line_length =3D 140 ``` - Pre-configure well-known files from current TeX Live with more than 100 error detections in <https://koppor.github.io/explcheck-issues/>. (#32, #57, #62) - Add command-line option `--error-format` and Lua option `error_format`. (discussed with @koppor in koppor/errorformat-to-html#2, added in #40, 5034639, and #43) This allows users to specify Vim's quickfix errorformat used for the machine-readable output when the command-line option `--porcelain` or the Lua option `porcelain` is enabled. - Add command-line option `--expl3-detection-strategy` and Lua option `expl3_detection_strategy`. (drafted and discussed with @koppor in #38, added in #49) - Add command-line option `--make-at-letter` and Lua option `make_at_letter`. (discussed with @zepinglee in #30 and #36, added in #61) These options determine how the at sign (`@`) should be tokenized. The default value `"auto"` automatically determines the category code based on context cues. #### Fixes - Prevent false positive E102 (Unknown argument specifiers) detections for control sequences with multiple colons (`::`). (#62) - Ensure that whole files are considered to be in expl3 when the Lua option `expl3_detection_strategy` is set to `"always"`, even when the files contain standard delimiters `\ProvidesExpl*`. (#62) This also prevents false positive E102 (expl3 material in non-expl3 parts) detections. - Only report warning S103 (Line too long) in expl3 parts. (#38, #49) - In machine-readable output, report the line and column number 1 for file-wide issues. (reported by @koppor in #39, fixed in #40) - Exclude comments from maximum line length checks. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #27, fixed in #43, #58, and #59) This includes spaces before the comments. - Always accept both lower- and upper-case issue identifiers. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #26, fixed in #44) This includes Lua options and configuration files, in addition to command-line options and inline TeX comments. - Exclude "weird" argument specifiers (`:w`) from warning W200. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #25, fixed in #45) - Remove error E203 (Removed control sequences). (reported by @koppor in #53, fixed in #54) - Fix two instances of explcheck crashing while processing input files. (reported by @koppor in #31, fixed in #52 and #59) - Do not recognize `@` as a part of an expl3 control sequence. (reported by @zepinglee in #30 and #37, fixed in #60) This prevents warnings S205 and S206 for LaTeX2e control sequence (re)definitions. #### Deprecation - Deprecate the command-line option `--expect-expl3-everywhere` and remove the Lua option `expect_expl3_everywhere`. (#49) Use the command-line option `--expl3-detection-strategy=3Dalways` or the corresponding Lua option `expl3_detection_stragegy=3D "always"` instead. - Deprecate the default config file section `[options]`. (#62) Rename the section to `[defaults]` instead. #### Documentation - Add SPDX license identifier to `README.md`. (added by @koppor in #50) - Link a list of all currently supported issues from `README.md`. (added by @koppor in #51) - Link <https://koppor.github.io/explcheck-issues/> from `README.md`. (#28, #32, b774ba77) #### Continuous integration - Continuously run explcheck on all packages in historical TeX Live Docker images. (suggested by @hansonchar in #28 and #31, added in #52 and #56) - Use ShellCheck to check code style of Bash scripts. (#61) #### Housekeeping - Make off-by-one errors less likely when working with byte ranges. (#47, #48, 13ebfc6e, a0923d06) #### Artwork - Add artwork by https://www.quickcartoons.com/ to directory `artwork/`. (566769b) Version: 2025-02-25 ### explcheck v0.7.1 #### Development - Add support for config file sections `[package.…]` for specifying package-specific configuration. (#32, #57, #62, #63) For example, here is how you might configure the file `expl3-code.tex` from the package `l3kernel` in your configuration file `.explcheckrc`: ``` toml [package.l3kernel] expl3_detection_strategy = "always" ignored_issues = ["w200", "w202", "e208", "e209"] max_line_length = 140 ``` - Add value `"never"` for the command-line option `--expl3-detection-strategy` and the Lua option `expl3_detection_strategy`. (#63) - Pre-configure all remaining expl3 files from current TeX Live with more than 1 error in <https://koppor.github.io/explcheck-issues/>.

CTAN update: tkz-elements
by CTAN Announcements 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

Alain Matthes submitted an update to the tkz-elements package. Version number: 3.30c License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Major evolution of tkz-elements with the introduction of the "conic" class, which replaces the "ellipse" class. - The latter was based on the "ellipse" operation, whereas "plot coordinates" is now used to construct all conic sections: parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses. It is worth noting that the circle, although a conic section, is not included in this class. Its significance grants it a special status and a dedicated class of its own. - Another class has been introduced: the "occs" class (orthonormal Cartesian coordinate system). To simplify the construction of conic sections, it was necessary to use well-suited coordinate systems. - A major change is the removal of scaling within the "Lua" section. Initially, I was in favor of avoiding scaling in the "TikZ" part, but since most calculations were already performed there, I realized that it was significantly simpler to apply scaling within the tikzpicture environment. Technical complexities sometimes arise when scaling is handled in the "Lua" section, so I decided to remove this option. Modifications: - In the "regular_polygon" class, I renamed the item "table" to "vertices," which is more appropriate and I also removed the "first" and "next" items, as they were unnecessary. -Correction of the code for the intersection of two circles, which did not provide an appropriate response in cases where no intersection was possible. - Improvement of the code for the "euler_line" method of the class "triangle". - Improvement of the code for the "is_orthogonal" method of the class "line". Additions:: - Major additions: the "conic" and "occs" classes. - An object of the "conic" class is created using the following arguments: focus, directrix, and eccentricity. - The available methods are: points, point, antipode, tangent_at, tangent_from, intersection, in_out, orthopedic, and asymptotes. - The 'points' method, common in many classes, allows creating a set of coordinates defining an object (e.g., a conic), extending the 'point' method which creates individual points. - The functions EL_points, EL_bifocal, HY_bifocal, PA_dir, and PA_focus provide the necessary arguments depending on the given data and the conic section being constructed. - The transformations "projection_ll" and "affinity" are now available for the "line" class. - The creation of an object from the "occs" class is done using the data of a line and a point. This point will be the origin of the new coordinate system, while the line will define the direction of the new y-axis. - The 'kimberling' method allows the creation of some points using this notation with the 'triangle' class. - The methods: steiner_line, simson_line, fermat-axis, brocard_axis, lemoine_axis, orthic_axis and orthic_axis_points complete the methods of the triangle class, as well as the anticomplementary or anti method, the taylor_circle and the taylor_points methods. - Two macros for the 'tikzpicture' part have been created: \tkzDrawCoordinates for obtaining a curve from a table of coordinates and \tkzDrawPointOnCurve for placing a point on such a curve. About documentation: Removal of all “overfull boxes”. Added examples concerning new features Corrected some examples, such as the Euler line. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tkz/tkz-elements More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/tkz-elements ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
