Nicola Talbot submitted an update to the
texosquery
package.
Version number: 1.2 2017-03-23 License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Cross-platform Java application to query OS information
Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Now has three .jar files depending on the Java installation:
- texosquery-jre8.jar
Full application. May be used with the CLDR locale provider (Unicode Consortium's Common Locale Data Repository). Requires at least Java 8 (use with java -Djava.locale.providers=CLDR,JRE or add java.locale.providers=CLDR,JRE to the JAVA_TOOLS_OPTIONS environment variable to access the CLDR)
- texosquery.jar
The default version of the application. Can't be used with CLDR. Less locale support. Requires at least Java 7.
- texosquery-jre5.jar
Cut-down version of the application with significantly less locale support. Provided for old systems that can't upgrade, but not recommended. (Use of Java 5 or 6 is deprecated.) Requires at least Java 5.
* New texosquery.cfg configuration file. Edit the definition of TeXOSInvokerName to indicate which application you need to use. For example, if Java 8 is installed:
defTeXOSInvokerName{texosquery-jre8}
See the installation section of the manual for further details.
* New command line switches.
* Actions --list (-i) and --filterlist (-f) now have an optional argument to indicate the sort order.
* When accessing file information, the TEXMF openin_any setting is first checked to determine if read access is permitted.
* Returned values now include some shorthand markup that's internally converted when read in by TeXOSQuery. For example texosquery -n now returns
pdfd fcln 20161113161156fpls 00fcsq 00fcsq
instead of
D:20161113161156+00'00'
To restore the original behaviour use --compatible 1 See manual for further details.
