Version: 3.0 License: mit Summary description: Cache anything (TikZ, python, ...) in a robust, efficient and pure way Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upgrade robust-externalize with multiple bug fixes, and an important update to breaking change in pythonhighlight. I created a new release 3.0 as I needed to change the compilation command to fix a minor bug (infinite compilation when error), hence the cache of all latex-based builds will be invalidated. If you don't want to recompile all latex-based images in an existing project, you just copy the old .sty in your root folder. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/robust-externalize More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/robust-externalize -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

John H. Lienhard submitted an update to the asmejour package. Version: 1.25 2025-04-07 License: mit Summary description: A template for ASME journal papers Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The asmejour class is a template to format preprints in the style of journal papers published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This version introduces support for unicode-math, which is now loaded by default with lualatex. The required fonts are in TeX Live. Several legacy options and commands have been eliminated. More of the code has been converted to expl3 from latex2e. The following packages are no longer loaded by the class: titlesec, enumitem, ifthen, iftex, totcount, hologo (now in the .tex file), mathalfa (can load in .tex file if needed), as well as these packages that were formerly loaded only as fallbacks: hyperxmp, bookmark, and inputenc. The kvoptions package now loads only for backward compatibility. Full details are in the README file. The class is backward compatible to the October 2020 latex distribution; the class will not compile with older formats. This version is PDF/UA-2 compliant when: the [captionpatch] option is used; subcaptions are not used; figures are compliant; either the [nolists] option is called or \ref* is used in the optional argument of captions; and \DocumentMetadata is properly called. Such PDF files validate fully under the Arlington model and with demo.vera.org. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/asmejour More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/asmejour -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Version: 4.1.0 2025-04-04 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: A flexible interface for setting font sizes Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Added - New keys: - `typographic-scale/classic-10bp` - `typographic-scale/classic-11bp` - `typographic-scale/classic-12bp` - `typographic-scale/classic-10dd` - `typographic-scale/classic-11dd` - `typographic-scale/classic-12dd` - `typographic-scale/classic-10nd` - `typographic-scale/classic-11nd` - `typographic-scale/classic-12nd` - `classic-10bp` - `classic-11bp` - `classic-12bp` - `classic-10dd` - `classic-11dd` - `classic-12dd` - `classic-10nd` - `classic-11nd` - `classic-12nd` - `<font size command>/baselineskip-size-ratio` - `\currentnormalsize` ### Changed - Improved performance in the package code added to the `selectfont` hook. - The documentation now states that `fontscale` does not load any other packages. - The documentation now states that `\currentfontstep`, `\currentfontscale`, and `\currentfontsize` do not expand `\f@size`. ### Fixed - The documentation now correctly states that the classic typographic scale includes font size `30`. (`30` was not included in some older versions of The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst.) - The package now correctly uses `\dim_use:N` and `\skip_use:N` when using `expl3` `dim` and `skip` variables in `LaTeX2e` commands. - Removed incorrect code comment regarding compatibility with the `microtype` package. - The internal commands that store the value of the keys `<font size command>/scale`, `<font size command>/size`, and `<font size command>/baselineskip` now correctly store the value of the evaluated floating point/dimen/skip expression. This should result in more consistent behavior if `\fontscalesetup` is used again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/fontscale The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fontscale/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

John H. Lienhard submitted an update to the asmeconf package. Version: 1.41 2025-03-27 License: mit Summary description: A LaTeX template for ASME conference papers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The asmeconf class is a LaTeX template to format conference papers published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This version introduces support for unicode-math, which is now loaded by default with lualatex. The required fonts are in TeX Live. Several legacy options and commands have been eliminated. More of the code has been converted to expl3 from latex2e. A number of minor improvements to the code have been made throughout, particularly to ensure backward compatibility to 2021 formats and packages. Most of the supporting files have been updated. Further details are in the README file. The following packages are no longer loaded: ifthen, iftex, hyphensubst, mathalfa, hologo (now in the .tex file), as well as these packages that were formerly loaded only as fallbacks: hyperxmp, bookmark, and inputenc. The kvoptions package now loads only for backward compatibility if needed. An option to omit the conference headers has been added. PDFA/UA-2 compliance is now possible using LuaLaTeX by: omitting subcaptions and certain language options, using compliant figures, and calling the class option [captionpatch], while using appropriate options to \DocumentMetadata. PDFA/UA-2 compliance is complete according demo.verapdf.org. The Arlington model also validates this package if, additionally, cross-references are omitted from captions. An entirely up-to-date installation is necessary for UA-2 compliance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/asmeconf The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/asmeconf/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

(#66) - Add Lua option `verbose` and a command-line option `--verbose` that prints extra information in human-readable output. (#66) For example, here is the output of processing the files `markdown.tex` and `markdownthemewitiko_markdown_defaults.sty` of the Markdown package for TeX with TeX Live 2024: ``` $ explcheck --verbose `kpsewhich markdown.tex markdownthemewitiko_markdown_defaults.sty` ``` ``` Checking 2 files Checking /usr/local/texlive/2024/texmf-dist/tex/generic/markdown/markdown.tex OK File size: 103,972 bytes Preprocessing results: - Doesn't seem like a LaTeX style file - Six expl3 parts spanning 97,657 bytes (94% of file): 1.

(#66) - Stabilize the Lua API of processing steps. (#64) All processing steps are now functions that accept the following arguments: 1. The filename of a processed file 2. The content of the processed file 3. A registry of issues with the processed file (write-only) 4. Intermediate analysis results (read-write) 5. Options (read-only, optional) #### Fixes - During preprocessing, only consider standard delimiters of expl3 parts that are either not indented or not in braces. (discussed in #17, fixed in #66) - During preprocessing, support `\endinput`, `\tex_endinput:D`, and `\file_input_stop:` as standard delimiters of expl3 parts. (#66) - During preprocessing, do not produce warning W101 (Unexpected delimiters) for a `\ProvidesExpl*` after `\ExplSyntaxOn`. (#66) - Prevent newlines from being recognized as catcode 15 (invalid) with Lua 5.2 due to unreliable order of table keys. (#66) #### Continuous integration - Add regression tests for TeX Live 2024. (#66) - Configure Dependabot version updates for GitHub Actions.
