The LaTeX Team submitted an update to the
l3build
package.
Version number: 2018-03-08
License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: A testing and building system for (La)TeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Release 2018-03-08
## l3build as a stand alone script
>From this release, l3build may be used directly rather than requiring
'calling' from a build.lua wrapper. This will allow l3build to be
installed as a …
[View More]script in common TeX distributions: the team anticipate
that this will lead to the much simplified usage
l3build <command> [<options>] [<names>]
At present, l3build will continue to work with existing build.lua
files, but the team recommend that these are updated to the 'new'
style: all that is required is to remove the lines
kpse.set_program_name(kpsewhich)
dofile(kpse.lookup(l3build.lua))
and then to use the new invocation.
## Tagging
Supporting this change, various options have been added and removed:
see the documentation for full details. In particular, the setversion
command has been replaced by tag, which is modelled on the Git
command of the same name. This will require updated build.lua files for
users of setversion, but allows a more flexible approach. It also
avoids the confusion on what 'version' means, as the updated script uses
l3build --version
in the normal way to print the version of the script itself.
Tagging is carried out for example by
l3build tag 2018-03-05
## Support for scripts
To allow this change, new variables scriptfiles and scriptmanfiles
have been added. These allow the inclusion of scripts in packages, and
also the provision of Unix man files.
## Preparations for TeX Live 2018
The upcoming TeX Live release will feature updated engines. Some
normalisation code has been adjusted to allow for LuaTeX and (u)pTeX
changes. These will of course already be of relevance to MiKTeX users.

Summary description: BibLaTeX styles inspired by the Oxford Guide to

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All being well, this should be the last of the experimental releases
(not counting bug fix releases). Changes since v0.11.3:
- **Breaking change:** titles of `suppbook` entries are now in
…
[View More]quotation marks by default; the inverted commas must be removed by
using the `descriptor` annotation or field, in common with other
entry types.
- **Breaking change:** the punctuation before a ‘by Author’ statement
is now configurable, and defaults to a space instead of a comma.
- Explicit handling has been added for entry types `suppperiodical`,
`suppcollection`, `booklet`, `patent`, `standard`, `artwork`,
`performance`, and `letter`, and examples for these have been added
to the documentation. The `image` entry type uses the new
`artwork`/`performance` driver instead of `online`.
- The `altthesis` option has been deprecated in favour of new option
`thesis`, which takes values `in` (`altthesis = true`), `out`
(`altthesis = false`) and `plain` (no parentheses at all).
- The `varissuedate` option has been renamed `issuedate-plain`, to
match `court-plain`.
- There is a new `bookseries` option which takes values `in` and
`out` with the same logic as the `thesis` option.
- The `mergedate` option can now be set on a per-type basis. Some
bugs in the `maximum` and `compact` variants have been fixed.
- There is a new `nonodate` option for suppressing ‘n.d.’ when an
entry in `oxalph`/`oxyear` has no suitable date label. It is
automatically activated on a per-entry basis if a `sortyear` is
given.
- It is now possible to annotate a date as `inferred` to enclose it
in square brackets.
- Various edge-case formatting bugs have been fixed.
