## expltools 2026-02-05
### explcheck v0.17.1
#### Fixes
This version of explcheck has fixed the following bugs:
- Speed up processing steps before flow analysis. (#158..#161, aadd378)
These changes improve processing time by about 15% for an average package
file in the current TeX Live, and by up to 300% for large files like
`expl3-code.tex`.
#### Documentation
This version of explcheck has made the following improvements to the documentation:
- Specify syntax highlighting for configuration files. (contributed by
@muzimuzhi in #157)
#### Continuous integration
This version of explcheck has made the following changes to our continuous
integration:
- Check Lua code using [the Lua Language Server (LuaLS)][LuaLS] in addition to
[Luacheck][]. (#161)
[LuaLS]: https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server
[Luacheck]: https://github.com/mpeterv/luacheck
- Add a 3-minute time limit when running explcheck over the entire TeX Live
to prevent excessively long analyses on infinite loops. (#161)

License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: A content-first Beamer theme for teaching, research, and long-form academic presentations
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A new Beamer theme, beamertheme-durham, is now available.
The theme is designed for teaching, research, and long-form academic
presentations. It follows a content-first approach, emphasizing
structural clarity, pacing awareness, and layout stability under
dense textual and mathematical material.
The implementation is from first principles and does not reuse code
from existing themes. Conceptual inspiration from established Beamer
themes is acknowledged in the documentation. The color palette is
inspired by the visual identity of Durham University; the package
is an independent academic contribution and is not an official or
endorsed institutional template.
The package includes a demo presentation and full documentation.
