CTAN update: plantuml
by CTAN Announcements via ctan-ann 01 Jul '26

01 Jul '26

Oliver Kopp submitted an update to the plantuml package. Version: 0.7.0 2026-06-29 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Support for rendering UML diagrams using PlantUML Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Added - Added support for `pdflatex`. PlantUML is now driven directly via shell escape, mirroring the LuaLaTeX path (same `plantuml.jar` invocation and MD5-based source caching). [#1](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/1) - Added [architecture decision record 0001](docs/decisions/0001-support-pdflatex-via-shell-escape.md) explaining why pdfLaTeX is driven via shell escape rather than via `hvextern`, `pythontex`, or `bashful`. [#1](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/1) - Added `example-class-visibility--latex.tex`, `example-class-visibility--png.tex`, and `example-class-visibility--svg.tex` demonstrating class member visibility, including the protected marker `#`, which is written as-is (the diagram body is verbatim, so no LaTeX escaping). [#24](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/24) - Added support for rendering `png` and `svg` diagrams through a [PlantUML server](https://github.com/plantuml/plantuml-server) over HTTP, configured via the `server` package option or the `PLANTUML_SERVER` environment variable. This needs only `curl`, not a local `plantuml.jar`/Java, which is convenient on CI. The source is sent hex-encoded (the `~h` server marker). `latex`/TikZ output cannot be produced by a server and continues to use the local jar. Includes `example-server--png.tex` and `example-server--svg.tex`. [#6](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/6) - Documented and tested that `@startuml`/`@enduml` are optional: when the diagram body omits them, PlantUML adds them automatically, so the `plantuml` environment may contain just the diagram. All examples now omit the markers. [#4](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/4) - Added `\plantumlinput{<file>}` to render a diagram from an external PlantUML source file (like minted's `\inputminted` and listings' `\lstinputlisting`). It honors the `output` mode and reuses the same caching, server, and `-output-directory` handling as the `plantuml` environment, on both LuaLaTeX and pdfLaTeX. Includes `example-input-file.tex`. [#3](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/3) - Added a global PlantUML preamble (e.g. `skinparam` styling) applied to every diagram, set inline via the `plantumlpreamble` environment or from a file via `\plantumlpreamblefile{<file>}`. The local jar applies it through PlantUML's `-config`; the server prepends it to the source. The preamble is folded into the diagram cache key, so changing it regenerates the diagrams. Includes `example-preamble.tex`. [#5](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/5) - Documented and tested that diagrams work in `beamer`: a frame containing a `plantuml` environment just needs to be declared `[fragile]` (the environment is verbatim). Added `example-beamer.tex` using the `moloch` theme. [#11](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/11) - Added `caption`, `label`, and `float` options for diagrams: a numbered, `\ref`-able caption that is typeset in place by default (like listings' `caption=`, avoiding the erratic placement of a bare `figure`) or in a floating `figure` with `float`. `\plantumlinput` takes them as an optional argument; for the `plantuml` environment they are set with `\plantumlset{...}` (a verbatim environment cannot carry an optional argument). Includes `example-caption.tex`. [#8](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/8) ### Changed - Diagram text in `latex`/TikZ output is now rendered sans-serif by default (via the new `\PlantUmlTikzFont`, overridable with `\renewcommand`), matching the font PlantUML uses to size the boxes so the text fits with even margins instead of overflowing or sitting off-centre under the document's serif font. Includes `example-mindmap.tex`. [#14](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/14) - Generated diagrams are now cached by a content hash (minted/memoize style): each diagram is written to `plantuml-<md5>-converted-to.<ext>` and PlantUML (or the server) is invoked only when no file for that hash exists yet. Identical, repeated, or reordered diagrams reuse the cached output, so recompiles are fast and only edited diagrams are regenerated. The `-converted-to` suffix keeps the files covered by the standard TeX `.gitignore` (`*-converted-to.*`), so no extra ignore entry is needed. [#2](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/2) - A diagram that cannot be generated (for example when `PLANTUML_JAR` is not set, no server is configured, or PlantUML fails) no longer aborts the LaTeX run. A visible placeholder is typeset in the document instead, similar to a missing reference. [#16](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/16) - The README preview images are now sharp vector SVG instead of raster PNG, and the README's `example-minimal.tex` / `example-class-relations--svg.tex` use the `cerulean-outline` PlantUML theme for a cleaner look than the colourful default. `release.sh` installs `librsvg2-bin` so pandoc can embed the SVGs when building `plantuml.pdf`. ### Fixed - Fixed `Unable to access jarfile` when `PLANTUML_JAR` contains spaces (e.g. `C:\Program Files (x86)\PlantUML\plantuml.jar`) on the LuaLaTeX path, by quoting the jar path in the PlantUML invocation. The pdfLaTeX path already quoted it. [#7](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/7) - Fixed `lualatex` failing with `I can't write on file '…-plantuml.txt'` under the paranoid `openout_any=p` setting (the default of local TeX Live and MiKTeX installations). The generated source file is now written with a relative path whenever possible, falling back to the absolute working directory only when the write is redirected (e.g. by Overleaf's output directory), so the Overleaf fix keeps working. [#47](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/47), [#50](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/50), [#42](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/pull/42) - Fixed PlantUML diagrams not being found when LaTeX is run with `-output-directory`. The generated source is now read from, and the diagram written to, that directory (located via `TEXMF_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY`). The variable is additionally cleared for the PlantUML subprocess, which otherwise hangs when it holds a relative path. Works for both `lualatex` and `pdflatex`. [#27](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/27) - Fixed garbled text in the SVG examples by exporting text as paths (`--export-text-to-path`) in the Inkscape conversion rule, making the rendering independent of the fonts available to Inkscape. [#25](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/25) ### Removed - Removed the unused, never-wired-up `pythontex` dependency from the non-LuaTeX code path. [#1](https://github.com/koppor/plantuml/issues/1) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/plantuml More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/plantuml -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Gérard Dubard submitted an update to the scholatex package. Version: 2.3 License: gpl3+ Summary description: A tag-based language for print-ready teaching worksheets, built on LuaLaTeX Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- scholatex 2.3 — this release brings together the additions of versions 2.2 and 2.3. Figure drawing (2.3): the new <draw> block renders plane geometric figures from a description alone — the shape is named, its measurements given, and coordinates are computed trigonometrically and emitted as hard TikZ numbers. It covers triangles by every classical definition, quadrilaterals (square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, kite), regular polygons by name or point count, and circles (by centre and radius, circumscribed through three points, or inscribed). Equal-side and right-angle marks and per-side length labels are opt-in, with single and double ticks telling apart pairs of different lengths. Composite figures share points and edges; loops, rotation and low-level point and line primitives allow free-form drawings. Mathematical vocabulary (2.2): the inline maths mini-language gains a full probability and statistics vocabulary (blackboard operators, spread, distributions, distribution and density functions), counting (binomial coefficient, arrangement, factorial), named linear-algebra operators, differential operators, Landau notation, integral transforms, surface and volume integrals, number theory, and calculation templates. Fixes include extensible parentheses over a fraction, higher-order differentials, and clearer plot axes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/scholatex More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/scholatex -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: zhlineskip
by CTAN Announcements 29 Jun '26

29 Jun '26

Mingyu Xia submitted an update to the zhlineskip package. Version: 1.0f 2026-06-28 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Line spacing for CJK documents Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The zhlineskip package provides tools for typesetting CJK documents with Microsoft Word–compatible line spacing. Version 1.0f is a significant internal overhaul that also streamlines the user-facing option interface. ### BREAKING CHANGES - The boolean option `UseMSWordMultipleLineSpacing` has been removed. Its functionality is now integrated into the `MSWordLineSpacingMultiple` option. Users who previously set `UseMSWordMultipleLineSpacing=true` should migrate to `MSWordLineSpacingMultiple=<value>` directly; the multiple-line-spacing feature activates automatically when a value is supplied. Documents that relied on the old boolean key will produce an "unknown option" error and must be updated. ### BUG FIXES - Fixed a line-spacing restoration leak in the `split` environment (from amsmath) that caused incorrect vertical spacing around display-math blocks. The internal spacing-restore scope now closes correctly at the end of `split`, so `\abovedisplayskip` and `\belowdisplayskip` behave as expected in surrounding text. ### INTERNAL CHANGES - The package internals have been rewritten in LaTeX3 (expl3). The former dependencies on the `kvoptions` and `xintexpr` packages have been dropped entirely. Option parsing now uses `l3keys`, and all fixed-point arithmetic is handled by the `l3fp` module shipped with the LaTeX kernel. This eliminates two external runtime dependencies, reduces package load time, and aligns the codebase with modern LaTeX3 conventions. The public interface remains unchanged apart from the option consolidation noted above. ### Compatibility notes - TeX Live 2020 or later is required (for a sufficiently recent expl3). - No other user-visible behaviour has changed; existing documents that do not use the removed `UseMSWordMultipleLineSpacing` option should compile without modification.

Highlights: NEW FEATURES * New \xeCJKchar command bypassing interchar handling, replacing the earlier \char redefinition that broke xint and other packages (resolves #407, #800). * New experiment/halfright-prebreakpenalty option (#811). * New experiment/punct-measure-fix option for paragraph-mode punctuation-compensation glue eaten by \unskip. * New NoBreakLongPunct character property forbidding line breaks before long punctuation such as ellipses. * Document fonts unified to Noto Serif CJK; xunicode-symbols.tex now uses a five-level per-character font fallback chain (FreeSerif -> Noto Sans Symbols 2 -> Symbola -> Segoe UI Symbol -> DejaVu Sans) for #878. * Unicode data resynchronised through Unicode 17.0 (with 15.0 / 15.1 catch-up). BUG FIXES (CJKglue / CJKecglue / boundary recovery) * \textcolor and other color whatsit nodes no longer drop CJKecglue on either side (#807, #809, #810, #831, #832). * \textcolor wrapping ulem-family underline commands no longer corrupts CJK inter-character spacing (#830). * Spurious inter-word glue after explicit "}", \mbox and \textcolor is suppressed (#831). * hyperref link annotations preserve CJKecglue across the \Hy@BeginAnnot whatsit (#809, #810). * xeCJKfntef commands no longer leave a stray space on their right side; font-state and \g_@@_last_node_tl are now saved across the hbox (#465, #826). * hypdoc \HD@target hbox and url \Url@FormatString math entry no longer shadow boundary markers (#873, #880). * \lstinline now preserves the character code of catcode-6 tokens beyond '#' (e.g. when \catcode`\&=6) (#879). * Trailing space after a CJK character before a macro is no longer emitted as glue prematurely. * xCJKecglue option and \xeCJKnobreak handling corrected. BREAKING CHANGES * \newCJKfontfamily now defines its font-switching command locally instead of globally (#751/PR #773). * Removed compatibility shims for LaTeX2e versions older than 2020/10/01 (#746). * Minimum LaTeX3 (expl3) version raised to 2025/10/09. DEPRECATED * \xeCJKsetcharclass is deprecated. Full ChangeLog (per \changes{v3.10.0} entries) is available in the package documentation.

Version 2.1 adds: - Mathematical vocabulary: number sets (NN, ZZ, QQ, RR, CC, ...), quantifiers (forall, exists), logical connectives (and, or, lnot), implication and equivalence (=>/implies, <=>/iff), set relations (in, subset, cup, cap, setminus, emptyset), integer part (floor, ceil, round), one-argument wrappers (set, abr), and accents (bar/conj, not, hat, tilde). - Negation with a single ! prefix (e.g., !in for ∉, !exists for ∄, !subseteq for ⊈). - Limit arrow: arrow(n to +inf) sets a long right arrow with its condition underneath, for the "u_n → l" phrasing in running maths. - Function studies: <fn> builds a function object (name, formula, abscissas, derivative signs, variation data); <vartab> renders its variation table in four shapes (full, classic, convexity, value table); <plot> draws its curve via pgfplots with pole handling. - Section numbering styles: num, roman, ROMAN, alpha, ALPHA, settable per level with no inherited prefix. - Colours are now CamelCase only -- breaking change: lowercase keywords (red, navy, ...) are removed; a compile error names the CamelCase replacement. The package requires LuaLaTeX and depends on tcolorbox, tabularray, unicode-math, fontspec, and pgfplots. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/scholatex The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/scholatex/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Version: 1.0 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Enlarged initials for the first entries of index letter groups Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ firstindexletter is a LaTeX package for visually emphasizing the first item of each index letter group by enlarging its initial letter. The package is intended primarily for indexes generated with xindy/texindy. It works at LaTeX macro level: instead of modifying the generated .ind file, it hooks into the index environment and formats the first entry of each effective letter group. The package provides configurable initial size, font family and color, simple optical kerning adjustments for selected initial-letter pairs, and support for Hungarian multi-character initials such as Cs, Gy, Ly, Ny, Sz, Ty and Zs, with configurable handling of Dz and Dzs. Initial CTAN release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/firstindexletter The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/firstindexletter/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

João M. Lourenço submitted the aidisclose package. Version: 1.12.0 2026-02-21 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Generate disclosure statements and checklists for the use of generative AI Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The aidisclose package is now on CTAN. aidisclose provides a standardized, transparent way to declare the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools in academic, technical, and professional documents. Built on an extension of the GAIDeT (Generative AI Delegation Taxonomy), it lets authors mark which tasks were delegated to AI, list the tools used (or state that none were), add optional numbered or unnumbered comments, and automatically typeset a formatted disclosure section or chapter with a task-based checklist. The package is configured through a key–value interface, can manage the citations for the taxonomy and the package automatically, and detects the document language via babel or polyglossia, shipping translations for fourteen languages (defaulting to English). A companion online generator/configurator is available at https://aidisclose.org. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/aidisclose The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/aidisclose/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: gckanbun

Kosei Kawaguchi submitted an update to the gckanbun package. Version: 2.6.0 2026-06-21 License: mit Summary description: Kanbun typesetting for (u)pLaTeX and LuaLaTeX Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2.6.0 makes command chaining whitespace-insensitive: a space, line break, or comment between cooperating commands (for example a ruby or group ruby followed by okurigana or a return mark) no longer breaks the lookahead or inserts spurious glue, so spaced and adjacent input now produce identical layout. Invalid "intrusion" option values are now rejected with a package error instead of being silently ignored. This release adds a whitespace regression matrix and a LuaLaTeX-only "make check" release gate, and drops an unused documentation dependency. LuaLaTeX remains the recommended engine. Basic (u)pLaTeX compatibility is retained, with the limitations documented in the package manual. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/language/japanese/gckanbun More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/gckanbun -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
