CTAN update: markdown
by CTAN Announcements 19 Dec '24

19 Dec '24

Vít Starý Novotný submitted an update to the markdown package. Version: 3.9.1-0-g92254dfb 2024-12-17 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Converting and rendering markdown documents inside TeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Development: - Add version `v1` of the new built-in theme `witiko/diagrams`. (#514, #531, #538) This version is an alias for an earlier theme named `witiko/dot`. Future versions of the theme may have backwards-incompatible syntax and behavior, see the discussion in #514 and #531. Therefore, you are encouraged to always specify the version `v1` to keep your documents from suddenly breaking. The Markdown package will warn you if you don't. Fixes: - Make option `eagerCache` safe to use with plain LuaTeX. (#530, witiko/lt3luabridge#29) Documentation: - Add artwork by <https://fiverr.com/quickcartoon> to directory `artwork/`. (#533) You are welcome to use these artworks in your promotional materials, provided you comply with the license terms specified for each piece. Typically, proper attribution to the artist is required. Defaults: - In LaTeX, fix bad interaction between heading identifiers and the class name `{.unnumbered}` (also written as `{-}`). (#511, 3d2e81d4, reported by @jurf) Continuous Integration: - Use explcheck to check expl3 code in the continuous integration. (#535, #536, b4e3bfcd) Deprecation: - Soft-deprecate the name of the built-in theme `witiko/dot` in favor of the new built-in theme `witiko/diagrams@v1`. (#514, #531, #538) Distribution: - Make `markdown-cli` executable and symlink it to system directories. (#534, #537, [tex-live(a)tug.org][tex-live-2024-12-050952]) [tex-live-2024-12-050952]: https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2024-December/050952.html Tests: - Reenable `eagerCache` in tests for plain LuaTeX. (#530, witiko/lt3luabridge#29) Docker: - Install the current package lt3luabridge in `Dockerfile`. (#530) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/markdown The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/generic/markdown/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: pdfjam
by CTAN Announcements 18 Dec '24

18 Dec '24

Reuben Thomas submitted an update to the pdfjam package. Version: 4.00 License: gpl2+ Summary description: Shell scripts interfacing to pdfpages Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * Major version bumped to 4.00 to reflect major refactoring, and some minor backwards-incompatible changes. * New co-maintainer. * Several minor bug fixes. * New option `--builddir path` to build in `path` instead of a temporary directory. Overwrites files in `path` without further notice. * In the constructed tex file, included files are now referenced as `source-1.pdf` etc. instead of `/tmp/pdfjam-XXXXXX/source-1.pdf`. This improves reproducibility and allows referencing with hyperref. * Put every `--preamble` argument on distinct line in tex file. * Automatically add braces around values where necessary. Thus, one can now write `--papersize 7cm,3cm` and `--picturecommand '\put(20,20){Text}'`. * Support libpaper1 in addition to libpaper2 to obtain system default paper. * Support `--paper a4` etc. as alternative to `--paper a4paper`. * Support `--papersize 595,842` as alternative to `--papersize 595bp,842bp`. Prevents people adding unit `pt` where they actually mean `bp`. * Mirror page when `--papersize` and `--landscape` given. * Renames duplex edge flipping options `--longedge` to `--otheredge` and `--shortedge` to `--no-otheredge` to reflect their actual behaviour. * Support `--keepinfo --pdfauthor ''` to discard only the corresponding field while keeping the remaining pdfinfo. * Adds lots of regression and integration tests. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/pdfjam The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/pdfjam/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
