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
