CTAN update: CTeX
by CTAN Announcements 26 Jun '26

26 Jun '26

Liam Huang submitted an update to the CTeX bundle. Version: 2.6.0 2026-06-23 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: LaTeX classes and packages for Chinese typesetting Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ctex v2.6.0 is a major release that synchronises the bundle with recent LaTeX2e and expl3 baselines and addresses long-standing issues across heading, font, and engine-adaptation subsystems. NEW FEATURES * New experimental option experiment/font-size-system selecting between word, letterpress (was traditional) and user-defined Chinese font-size tables (#543, #813). * Document clarifies that "letterpress" denotes one specific metal-type font-size system rather than the only traditional one (#871). * pdfLaTeX with UTF-8 input now prefers the \DeclareUnicodeCharacter definition for four-byte UTF-8 characters (#815). * Document fonts unified to the Noto CJK family (#686). BUG FIXES * hyperref driverfallback is now handled per loading state to avoid duplicate-setting warnings (#715). * The \verb / \do@noligs xkanjiskip leak under upLaTeX is fixed by porting the lltjcore patch (#556). * pifont's interchartokenstate no longer leaks into the output routine via a vertical-mode page break (#688). * Heading documentation explains the interaction between the runin and aftertitle options (#574). * Fixed corrupt argument signature \@@_char_auxi:NNNN (was NNN). * CJKpunct override of CJKglue in the preamble now works for all engines via the engine-deferred redefinition pattern (#761). BREAKING CHANGES * \newCJKfontfamily defines its font-switching command locally instead of globally (#751/PR #773), aligning with \newcommand semantics inside groups. * Removed compatibility shims for LaTeX2e older than 2020/10/01 (#746). * Minimum LaTeX3 (expl3) baseline raised to 2025/10/09. DEPRECATIONS * Replaced deprecated _tl keys with \l_keys_key_str and \l_keys_choice_str (#806). * Replaced deprecated \char_to_utfviii_bytes:n. Full ChangeLog (per \changes{v2.6.0} entries) is in the package documentation.

CTAN update: lualineno

Udi Fogiel submitted an update to the lualineno package. Version: 0.2 2026-06-25 License: 0bsd Summary description: Line numbering in LuaTeX-based formats Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * columns are now detected from the node structure instead of with an attribute, which seems more robust and requires less patching. As a consequence paracol columns are numbered correctly now. * vertical stacking inside horizontal boxes is checked now, so boxes that pgf stacks vertically inside an \hbox are handled. * the colattr key is removed as this attribute is no longer used. * labels inside math or after ligatures are fixed, but now labels creates whatsit nodes (in LateX this is normal). This can create some spacing changes around the label. * A new whatsitid key to allocate the id of the whatsit which carries the label toks. * more examples in the documentation, and a note about tagging was added. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/generic/lualineno More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/lualineno -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Jesse Straat submitted the brandstyler package. Version: 1.0 2026-06-24 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Automatic brand style implementation Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The brandstyler package allows one to automatically adapt the style (currently mainly fonts) of an organisation to a document using custom style files, and defines many colours part of the organisation's branding. It also supports many beamer themes, automatically adapting the right colours. The number of supported organisations is currently limited: Radboud University, Utrecht University, and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. However, using the examples, it should be rather straightforward to create your own. We also welcome the addition of such custom style files to the main project using our repository. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/brandstyler The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/brandstyler/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: scholatex

Gérard Dubard submitted an update to the scholatex package. Version: 2.1 2026-06-23 License: gpl3+ Summary description: A tag-based language for print-ready teaching worksheets, built on LuaLaTeX Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The scholatex package provides a tag-based language for creating teaching worksheets with LuaLaTeX. Version 2.1 adds: - Mathematical vocabulary: number sets (NN, ZZ, QQ, RR, CC, ...), quantifiers (forall, exists), logical connectives (and, or, lnot), implication and equivalence (=>/implies, <=>/iff), set relations (in, subset, cup, cap, setminus, emptyset), integer part (floor, ceil, round), one-argument wrappers (set, abr), and accents (bar/conj, not, hat, tilde). - Negation with a single ! prefix (e.g., !in for ∉, !exists for ∄, !subseteq for ⊈). - Limit arrow: arrow(n to +inf) sets a long right arrow with its condition underneath, for the "u_n → l" phrasing in running maths. - Function studies: <fn> builds a function object (name, formula, abscissas, derivative signs, variation data); <vartab> renders its variation table in four shapes (full, classic, convexity, value table); <plot> draws its curve via pgfplots with pole handling. - Section numbering styles: num, roman, ROMAN, alpha, ALPHA, settable per level with no inherited prefix. - Colours are now CamelCase only -- breaking change: lowercase keywords (red, navy, ...) are removed; a compile error names the CamelCase replacement. The package requires LuaLaTeX and depends on tcolorbox, tabularray, unicode-math, fontspec, and pgfplots. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/scholatex The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/scholatex/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Zsolt Bihari submitted the firstindexletter package. Version: 1.0 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Enlarged initials for the first entries of index letter groups Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ firstindexletter is a LaTeX package for visually emphasizing the first item of each index letter group by enlarging its initial letter. The package is intended primarily for indexes generated with xindy/texindy. It works at LaTeX macro level: instead of modifying the generated .ind file, it hooks into the index environment and formats the first entry of each effective letter group. The package provides configurable initial size, font family and color, simple optical kerning adjustments for selected initial-letter pairs, and support for Hungarian multi-character initials such as Cs, Gy, Ly, Ny, Sz, Ty and Zs, with configurable handling of Dz and Dzs. Initial CTAN release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/firstindexletter The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/firstindexletter/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
