Version: 2026-04-17 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: LaTeX class for DIN 5008 type-B business letters for use with onlinebrief24.de Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This release fixes bugs in the modern-mode header, the extensibility API, and the information block, and improves robustness of the class internals. Bug fixes: - Fixed modern-mode header overflowing the right margin for long sender names: the header parbox width is now computed via \dimexpr\paperwidth-50mm\relax (160 mm on A4) instead of the invalid \paperwidth-50mm literal - Fixed \addinfoblockrow rendering stray text in the label column: the empty-value test now expands the argument into a helper macro before testing, so both internal macros and literal text passed by the user are handled correctly - Fixed \addinfoblockrow producing no output when none of the built-in fields (yourref, ourref, contactname, etc.) are set; the visibility guard now also checks for custom rows via \addinfoblockrow - Fixed incorrect icon name in the documentation (\faXTwitter -> \faTwitter) New behaviour: - \addfooteritem now emits a class warning (\ClassWarningNoLine) when called without the modern option, instead of silently doing nothing - \setfromname is deprecated; a class warning now recommends using \setfromfirstname and \setfromlastname instead Internal improvements: - DIN 5008 window geometry centralised as named length constants (\@obb@din*) shared by the picture-mode overlay and the TikZ guides overlay, eliminating the previous drift between the two rendering paths - Modern-style calibration values (header/footer position, font sizes) replaced by named constants for maintainability - Footer field rendering consolidated into a single helper macro (\@obb@renderfooterfield), removing five copies of the separator logic - Return-address width measurement extracted to \@obb@measurereturnaddress, shared between validation and rendering ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/onlinebrief24 The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/onlinebrief24/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: AutoLaTeX
by CTAN Announcements via ctan-ann 14 Apr '26

14 Apr '26

Stéphane Galland submitted an update to the AutoLaTeX package. Version number: 51.0 License type: lgpl3 Summary description: Automate compilation of large scale LaTeX projects Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Major Changes: * The detection of TeX errors and warnings has been completely overhauled. Previously, the extraction of error and warning messages from the TeX log file was incorrect, often displaying invalid text. All log‑related code is now grouped into a single class, which properly identifies errors and warnings, and cleans up the formatting of warning messages. * The build process has been refactored to be more dynamic. Instead of computing a fixed execution sequence based solely on file timestamps and static dependencies, the new approach builds a sequence of tools without considering timestamps. Each tool in the sequence first determines whether it needs to run based on actual content changes, and then runs only if necessary. This allows the process to adapt to state changes caused by tools themselves. The execution list construction, file generation algorithm, and builder class definitions have all been reworked. Additionally, the build now starts automatically when an image is updated, and a new showbuildprocess command has been added for transparency. A bug affecting auxiliary file names when using bibunits has also been fixed. * Detection of the need to rebuild the document has been improved. The TeX log analyzer now correctly recognises the "Rerun the LaTeX compile" message, and the PDF builder’s rebuild detection has been fixed. These changes complement the build process refactor to ensure that recompilation is triggered only when truly necessary. Other Changes and Bug Fixes: * Internal bugs in the TeX parser have been resolved, including the parsing of macros with both optional and mandatory arguments, as well as an exception inside the citation analyzer for auxiliary files. * The installation script has been adapted to meet CTAN standards, ensuring that the distribution source archive is generated correctly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/autolatex More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/autolatex ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List
by CTAN Announcements 14 Apr '26

14 Apr '26

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List package. Version: 16.0 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Symbols accessible from LaTeX Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List is a document that organizes over 25000 symbols accessible from LaTeX by topic and package. The aim is to make it easy to find symbols and learn how to incorporate them into a LaTeX document. An index further helps locate symbols of interest. Much has changed since the last release of the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List over two years ago. Most notably, the list presents thousands of new symbols from a handful of additional packages. Smaller improvements include refactoring a few tables into more meaningful pieces, updating a few tables to cover recently added or renamed symbols, moving brand icons and logos into their own chapter, and making numerous small improvements to the index to better categorize the symbols appearing in the document. The accompanying SYMLIST text file now uses two columns to present a mapping from user-visible control sequences to the document's internal representation. While not visible to the reader of the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List, compilation has been sped up immensely by leveraging the Ninja build system. The document builds with LuaLaTeX whereas previous versions required pdfLaTeX. In fact, the companion Raw Font Tables document now requires LuaLaTeX, which it exploits to show font tables for OpenType and TrueType fonts that define more than 256 characters. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/info/symbols/comprehensive More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/comprehensive -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

(reported by @muzimuzhi in #191, fixed in #193) - Do not capture a newline after expl3-like material. (#193) This excludes the newline from the context messages and byte ranges for issues like E102 (Expl3 material in non-expl3 parts). - Only put argument specifiers in the context of issue E201 (Unknown argument specifiers), not the whole control sequence name. (#193) This makes the context of issue E201 consistent with issue E427 (Comparison conditional without signature `:nnTF`). - Fix the context of issue W200 ("Do not use" argument specifiers) missing characters when the name of the control sequence ends with double-superscript characters, like `\tex_let:^^44`. (#193) - Report resolved control sequence names (like `\tex_let:D`) instead of the raw input text (like `\tex_let:^^44`) for issues W200 and W202 (Deprecated control sequences). (#193) - Fix an incorrect assertion in code that reports issues E500 (Multiply defined function) and W501 (Multiply defined function variant). (reported by @muzimuzhi in #192, fixed in #194) - Do not consider a definition being reached by itself a redefinition. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #192, fixed in #194) This prevents false positive detections of the issues E500 and W501. - Do not report issue E505 (Calling an undefined function) when calling empty functions. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #192, fixed in #194) - Weaken the confidence of incoming reaching definitions when the in-degree is greater than one. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #192, fixed in #194) - Do not report issues for uninteresting macro-statements that are skipped during flow analysis and therefore have incomplete or unreliable information recorded. (#194) - Only require definite reaching definitions for issues E500 and W501, not issues E504 (Function variant for an undefined function), E506 (Indirect function definition from an undefined function), and W507 (Setting a function before definition). (#194) #### Continuous integration This version of explcheck has made the following changes to our continuous integration: - Check issue context in tests.
