Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
Snapshot of SVN 3285
- Drop loading of calc package by expl3. This was included for historical reasons, and users requiring calc should now load it explicitly.
- Better documentation of load-time options for expl3.
- Extend coverage of characters set to 'correct' catcodes by ExplSyntaxOn.
- l3str and l3regex documentation improved in preparation for addition to stable codebase.
- Various l3str functions renamed or removed.
- l3regex now recognises u as a shortcut for token list variables.
- Better handling of active characters and spaces in file names when using io... or file... operations.
- xgalley improvements to incorporate behaviour of \ as in LaTeX2e.
- New experimental module l3dt to construct 'data tables'. This module is intended for handling tabular data, for example as is done by the LaTeX2e package datatool. At present, the functions provided are at the most basic level only.
thanks for the uploads; i've installed the new versions, and updated the catalogue repository.
