CTAN Update: Package xbase moved
by CTAN Announcements 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

On Fri, 20 Jun 2008 Morten Høgholm submitted an update to the xbase package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/project/xbase Summary description: Update and move of xbase License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The xbase bundle provides the packages xparse and template, and the support package ldcsetup. The packages require expl3 to be installed. The xparse provides a high-level interface for declaring document commands, e.g., a uniform way to define commands taking optional arguments, optional stars (and others), mandatory arguments and more. The template package provides an interface for defining generic functions using a key=val syntax. The ldcsetup package used to establish prototype LaTeX3 coding conventions, needed by xparse and xbase, but is now slowly being stripped in favor of functionality added to expl3. The LaTeX Team has decided to move xbase from macros/latex/exptl/project to macros/latex/contrib/project to indicate that the code is now less volatile and can be used in everyday use. Changes will happen with time but we feel that in its present state it is quite usable. All files are also available in the Subversion (SVN) repository of the LaTeX3 Project, which is located at http://www.latex-project.org/svnroot/experimental/trunk The bundle on CTAN is a snapshot of the SVN repository as of 2008/06/20. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/project/xbase .

On Fri, 20 Jun 2008, Morten Høgholm submitted an update to the expl3 package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/project/expl3 Summary description: Update and move of expl3 License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The expl3 bundle is the foundation on which the LaTeX3 kernel and other advanced extensions are built. They provide an API for TeX programmers. Each module is set up in such a way that it can be used with regular LaTeX2e packages even though the coding style is somewhat different. The LaTeX Team has decided to move expl3 from macros/latex/exptl/project to macros/latex/contrib/project to indicate that the code is now less volatile and can be used in everyday use. Changes will happen with time but we feel that in its present state it is quite usable.
