CTAN update: luamplib
by CTAN Announcements 03 Oct '26

03 Oct '26

Dohyun Kim submitted an update to the luamplib package. Version: 2.44.1 2026-10-02 License: gpl2 Summary description: Use LuaTeX’s built-in MetaPost interpreter Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * fix externalize functionality for the cases when: - '--lua=foo.lua', for instance, is a command-line option - 'luatex' is not in the PATH * [doc] be more precise about the directory where external files are saved * [doc] fix the explanation about the 'externalize=true' option * Basically, externalize functionality now uses one big external image file rather than several small files to reduce the PDF file size and improve the compilation speed. But when you modify already externalized code chunks, small individual files will be generated and be included in the PDF file. So it is a good idea to delete the external files if you have modified lots of code chunks after the initial run of externalization. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/luamplib The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/generic/luamplib/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: zhnumber
by CTAN Announcements 01 Oct '26

01 Oct '26

Liam Huang submitted an update to the zhnumber package. Version: 3.1 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Typeset Chinese representations of numbers Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This release of zhnumber v3.1 adds counting-rod numeral support, new date formatting options, several bug fixes, and compatibility updates. NEW FEATURES - Added counting-rod numerals `\zhrod` and `\zhrodbox`, along with the configuration command `\zhrodsetup` (#366). - Added support for outputting year-only or year-and-month dates. BUG FIXES - Fixed a typo where `\zhdigwithoptions` passed its options as an extra argument to `\zhnum_digits_counter:n`. Previously, `\zhdig` with options would error with "Use of \??? doesn't match its definition" and produce garbled output (#1008). - Fixed a typo where the `Tn` key was bound to the Heavenly-Stems-and-Earthly-Branches (干支) variable instead of the Heavenly Stems (天干) variable. Setting `Tn` previously affected the output of `\zhganzhi` rather than `\zhtiangan` (#1077). IMPROVEMENTS - Documented the behavior of option-bearing forms when written to auxiliary files: the counter value is frozen at write time, while the style is applied when the auxiliary file is read back (#1008). - `\zhnum` and `\zhdig` with options now expand the counter to its numeric value before passing it to the underlying implementation, so that the counter value is frozen when written to `.toc` and similar auxiliary files (#1008). - Replaced the deprecated `\keys_set_filter:nnnN` with `\keys_set_exclude_groups:nnnN` to avoid errors under debug mode starting from l3kernel 2026-09-09 (#1095). - Raised the minimum required LaTeX3 version to 2025/10/09.
