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 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 In particular, the setversion command has been replaced by tag, which is modelled on the Git command of the same name.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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/l3build More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/l3build ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

In addition, a switch has been provided to relax the syntax rules for one situation. The purpose here is not to encourage sloppy syntax, but to provide a more meaningful debugging output when strict syntax is [accidentally] not obeyed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/tabstackengine The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tabstackengine/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Alex Ball submitted an update to the biblatex-oxref package. Version number: 0.12 2018-03-03 License type: lppl1.3c Summary description: BibLaTeX styles inspired by the Oxford Guide to Style 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 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-oxref More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-oxref We are supported by the TeX User Groups.
