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€.

Oliver Beery submitted an update to the fontscale package. Version: 4.0.0 2025-03-02 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: A flexible interface for setting font sizes Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## [v4.0.0] - 2025-03-02 ### Added - `fontscale` version 3 can be used by declaring `\usepackage{fontscale}[=v3]`. - `fontscale-v3.sty` ### Removed - The package keys and commands that take a dimen or skip expression as a value or argument no longer append a default unit of `pt` and remove extra trailing tokens, if any. (This feature had relied on exploiting `expl3` implementation details.) ### Changed - `fontscale` is no longer compatible with the `scalefnt` package. - The keys `<font size command>` are now shortcuts for the keys `<font size command>/size`. (The previous functionality no longer makes syntactic sense given the removal of default unit support.) - Renamed the document commands using the recommended all-lowercase convention: - `\CurrentFontStep` to `\currentfontstep` - `\CurrentFontScale` to `\currentfontscale` - `\CurrentFontSize` to `\currentfontsize` - `\CurrentFontBaselineskip` to `\currentfontbaselineskip` - `\SetFontStep` to `\setfontstep` - `\SetFontScale` to `\setfontscale` - `\SetFontSize` to `\setfontsize` - `\ScaleFont` to `\scalefont` - `\SetFontSizeBaselineskip` to `\setfontsizebaselineskip` - `\SetFontBaselineskip` to `\setfontbaselineskip` - `\PrintFontSizeParameters` to `\printfontsizeparameters` - `\PrintAllFontSizeParameters` to `\printallfontsizeparameters` - `\PrintSampleText` to `\printsampletext` - `\PrintFontSizeCommand` to `\printfontsizecommand` -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fontscale More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontscale -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

New on CTAN: datatool-english
by CTAN Announcements 04 Mar '25

04 Mar '25

Nicola Talbot submitted the datatool-english package. Version: 1.0 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: English language support for datatool.sty v3.0+ Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The datatool-english bundle provides the English ldf files for the datatool package (v3.0+). The *.ldf files should all be placed on TeX's path. These files don't require any explicit loading. They will automatically be input by datatool-base.sty (or relevant supplementary package) if they are found and required by the tracklang localisation settings. See the datatool v3.0+ manual for further details. The English files provide encoding support for UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1). Any other encoding will be treated as US-ASCII. This bundle also includes limited support for Old English (Anglo-Saxon) mainly to provide an example for a language that has multiple scripts (in this case, Latin and Runic) or for a language that has an extended Latin or non-Latin script. The language codes are ang-Latn for Anglo-Saxon Latin Script and ang-Runr for Anglo-Saxon Runic Script. There's only support for UTF-8 with the Anglo-Saxon files. **This is being released in advance of the upcoming datatool v3.0 release.** These files will be ignored by existing versions of datatool. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/datatool-english More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/datatool-english -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
