CTAN update: AutoLaTeX
by CTAN Announcements 03 Apr '26

03 Apr '26

Stéphane Galland submitted an update to the AutoLaTeX package. Version: 50.1 License: lgpl3 Summary description: Automate compilation of large scale LaTeX projects Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We are proud to announce AutoLaTeX 50.1, a total re-implementation in Python 3 of the original AutoLaTeX tool. The previous Perl-based version is no longer maintained. This new release delivers significantly improved stability, performance, and cross-platform compatibility. It introduces a suite of new command-line options and actions that simplify project setup, figure management, and document inspection. Whether you are handling a small paper or a large thesis. AutoLaTeX 50.1 fixes the buggy automation of the entire workflow (from translator-based figure generation to bibliography, index, and glossary processing) without the issues reported in the previous Perl version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/autolatex The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/autolatex/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

New on CTAN: statementsp
by CTAN Announcements via ctan-ann 03 Apr '26

03 Apr '26

Rirai Ikeda submitted the statementsp package. Version number: 1.0 License type: lppl1.3c Summary description: Theorem and proposition boxes with preview and recall functions Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am pleased to announce the release of a new package: statementsp. statementsp is a LaTeX package that provides a convenient way to create highly customizable theorem and proposition boxes using the tcolorbox package. The standout feature of this package is its automatic "Preview" and "Recall" mechanism. A single command (\refcallsp) allows authors to display a statement box anywhere in the document. The package automatically detects whether the command is placed before or after the main definition, generating a "Preview" or "Recall" box respectively, complete with hyperlinks jumping directly back to the original definition. Key Features: * Intuitive definition of custom environments (prefix, display name, box color, title color). * Strictly sequential counters within a section across all statement types (e.g., Definition 1.1, Theorem 1.2, Lemma 1.3) to prevent numbering confusion. * Support for unnumbered environments via the starred version (statementsp*). * Dedicated referencing commands (\refsp and \refnamesp) for seamless citation of numbers and specific statement names. License: The LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL) version 1.3c or later. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/statementsp More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/statementsp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
