l3build: A testing and building system for (La)TeX
==================================================
The LaTeX3 Project are pleased to release to CTAN a first public
version of the testing/building system used to create kernel
releases of LaTeX3 code: `l3build`. This new build system has
been written to support not only the work of the team itself but
also to enable other (La)TeX developers to take advantage of the
functionality offered.
The build system is written in Lua, and is thus usable with any
recent TeX system (all of which include LuaTeX and thus the
`texlua` scripting executable). The code has been designed to
run on both Unix systems (Linux, Mac OS X, _etc._) and on
Windows, and offers the following features:
- A unit testing system for (La)TeX code, essential for the
work of the team but also highly-relevant to other (La)TeX
developers
- A system for typesetting package documentation
- An automated process for creating CTAN releases (this
requires a command line zip program: Windows users will need
a copy of Info-ZIP, conveniently available as part of
[GNU on Windows](https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow) if not
installed already)
A key design aim of `l3build` is that it enables testing of
(La)TeX code using an automated approach. This is described in
the documentation, and requires only a TeX system and one or
more suitably-designed tests. The latter comprise a file
containing the test code and a reference log file showing the
expected outcomes: running the tests and comparing the results
is handled entirely by `l3build`. The entire testing and
building system can be run in an 'isolated' way such that files
in the main TeX system do not influence the outcomes.
The system has been designed to be flexible, with setting stored
in a small Lua-based configuration file and allowing
considerable control over the build process. The team have
included a range of customisation options in this first release,
but anticipate that over time more will be added in response to
user requests.
Note that `l3build` is essentially independent of other release
material from the team. As such, updates to `l3build` will be
made to CTAN separately from those for `l3kernel`, `l3packages`
and `l3experimental`.

packages.
Version number: SVN 5015

Snapshot of SVN 5105
====================
Changes in this release focus primarily on minimising
dependency of expl3 on other packages and on having consistent
behaviour across the supported engines (pdfTeX, XeTeX, LuaTeX).
The team have developed a new build system to support this:
while this does not 'show up' directly, it has resulted in a
number of code improvements. The build system itself will be
made generally available as a stand-alone product in the near
future: full details will be given at that point.
Changes:
- Use expl3 native graphic drivers as standard rather than
those from LaTeX2e
- Move experimental l3luatex code out of l3kernel: this
requires more work before inclusion in the 'stable' release
bundle
- Remove use of ifpdf package: with the standard settings,
expl3 now requires only the LaTeX2e kernel and etex package
to load
- pdf_strcmp:D is now only defined if a primitive: an internal
wrapper \__str_if_eq_x:nn is now used for all engines
(similar to pdf@strcmp in the pdftexcmds package)
- Bug fix for pdfstrcmp emulation in LuaTeX: # tokens are now
handled correctly in all cases
- Bug fixes for native drivers: negative scaling and descender
depths are now handled correctly
- Bug fix for l3keys: attempting to 'nest' choice keys (set the
code for a choice to itself be a choice) raises an error
- l3file now allows spaces in file names and quotes them in
the web2c style: surround tokens only if the file name
contains spaces
- Performance enhancement for l_if_single:n(TF)
- int_step_... functions now evaluate all three INT
arguments at the start of the loop
- dim_to_pt:n/dim_to_unit:nn are now fully expandable; the
input syntax is now restricted to 'properly formed' dimensions
(i.e. exactly one unit must be given)
- l3fp-old, which contained some code to support the older,
non-expandable FPU syntax, is removed entirely
- gind.ist is used for index sorting rather than l3doc.ist
- Improved error messages in l3regex

i've released version 3.28 of the uk tex faq.
users may view its sources, printable versions, etc., at
http://mirror.ctan.org:help/uk-tex-faq -- or they may access it (sort of) ineractively via
http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq
i retire soon: when i do, i shall probably not have access to the server
that has served this faq since 1995 (or so). so this is probably the last
ever release of this faq in its present form.
