Vít Starý Novotný submitted an update to the expltools package. Version: 2026-03-13 License: lppl1.3c gpl2+ Summary description: Development tools for expl3 programmers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ## expltools 2026-03-13 ### explcheck v0.18.2 #### Fixes This version of explcheck has fixed the following problems: - Support `c`-type arguments in variable and constants declarations, definitions, and uses. (#187) This improved [code coverage][] from ca 21% to 25% of all expl3 tokens on TeX Live 2024. - Do a better job detecting arguments in unrecognized replacement texts when extracting control sequence name patterns from `c`-type arguments in function calls. (#187) - In semantic analysis, consider the base variables in indirect variable definitions to be used, similarly to how base functions in indirect function definitions are considered used. (#187) This has removed a dozen false positive detections of issue W415 (Unused variable or constant) on TeX Live 2024. - Include `\q_no_value` among well-known expl3 control sequence names. (#187) - Have the issue E417 (Setting a variable as a constant) mask the issue E421 (Globally setting a local variable). (#187) This has removed a couple questionable detections of the issue E421 on TeX Live 2024. - Only consider potentially used function (variant) (un)definitions in the flow analysis. (suggested by @lostenderman in #156, fixed in #187) This change improves processing time by about 3% for an average package file in TeX Live 2024, and by up to 91% (or 11×) for large files such as `expl3-code.tex` when flow analysis is enabled despite incomplete code understanding. It also reduces the memory footprint of flow analysis by up to 4× for those files. After this change, the default value of the Lua option `max_reaching_definition_inner_loops` has been reduced from 650,000 to just 350,000 inner-loop iterations. Overall, the changes in the past two releases have reduced the processing time for large files such as `expl3-code.tex` from months to a little over an hour (up to 800×) when flow analysis is enabled despite incomplete code understanding, and have reduced the memory footprint of flow analysis by up to 12× for those files.

Munehiro Yamamoto submitted an update to the spotxcolor package. Version: 1.0 2026-03-14 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Modern spot color support for the xcolor package Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The spotxcolor package has been updated to version 1.0. This release brings major enhancements for complex graphics, ensuring that your spot colors remain print-safe across all major TeX engines. ## Major Changes in v1.0 (since v0.14): * Advanced TikZ/PGF Support: Integrated comprehensive patches to resolve ColorSpace dictionary collisions with PGF. Spot colors now work seamlessly with complex TikZ graphics, basic shapes, and function graphs without destroying PDF resources. * CMYK Pattern Fills: Injected a core patch into PGF to force uncolored patterns (both legacy patterns and modern patterns.meta) to use CMYK instead of hardcoded RGB. This guarantees that spot colors used in TikZ patterns safely fall back to CMYK, preventing print separation issues. * Explicit Driver Support: Improved compatibility and explicit fallback mechanisms for dvipdfmx, pdftex, and luatex. * License: Updated the package license to LPPL v1.3c or later. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/spotxcolor The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/spotxcolor/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Roel Raike submitted the chempid package. Version: 1.0.0 License: mit Summary description: Draw Piping and Instrumentation diagrams using TikX via PGF Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A humble LateX package that allows you to draw Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID) or block diagrams quickly and efficiently. It contains pre-built assets in pgf to create P&ID drawings. We noticed that, with the diminishing compile time on Overleaf, it became increasingly difficult to use TikZ to this end. Therefore, we chose for pgf because it is faster to compile than TikZ objects. The objects themselves have been made in accordance with the ISO 10628-2 standard. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/chempid More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/chempid -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Munehiro Yamamoto submitted the spotxcolor package. Version number: 0.14 2026-03-12 License type: mit Summary description: Modern Spot Color support for the xcolor package Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides robust and modern spot color (e.g., DIC, PANTONE) support for the `xcolor` package across all major TeX engines (pdfTeX, LuaTeX, XeTeX, and dvipdfmx). It resolves the structural PDF syntax issues found in the legacy `spotcolor` package and provides a more robust, expl3-based architecture compared to the `colorspace` package. Key features included in this initial release: - Native `xcolor` integration: `\textcolor` generates true spot color separation plates in pdfTeX and LuaTeX without breaking the color stack. - Safe fallback for dvipdfmx: `\textcolor` safely falls back to a CMYK representation, avoiding parse errors and black-box outputs. - Explicit spot color injection: Added the `\SpotColor` macro to force true spot color output in dvipdfmx and other engines. - Perfect PDF structure: Safely expands variables and manages PDF objects to prevent garbage collection issues and broken cross-references. - Backward compatibility: Seamlessly emulates legacy `spotcolor` macros (e.g., `\AddSpotColor`, `\NewSpotColorSpace`) to reuse existing color dictionaries without modification. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/spotxcolor More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/spotxcolor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Vít Starý Novotný submitted an update to the expltools package. Version: 2026-03-10 License: lppl1.3c gpl2+ Summary description: Development tools for expl3 programmers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ## expltools 2026-03-10 ### explcheck v0.18.1 #### Fixes This version of explcheck has fixed the following problems: - Merge consecutive blocks of function (variant) definitions and function undefinitions into macro-statements that form flow-graph vertices instead of individual statements. (suggested by @lostenderman in #156, fixed in #183) This change improves processing time by about 10% for an average package file in TeX Live 2024, and by up to 98% (or 53×) for large files such as `expl3-code.tex` when flow analysis is enabled despite incomplete code understanding. It also reduces the memory footprint of flow analysis by up to 3× for those files. After this change, the default value of the Lua option `max_reaching_definition_inner_loops` has been reduced from 30,000,000 to just 650,000 inner-loop iterations. - Fix the assignment of segment numbers to replacement texts. (#183) This would cause function definition statements to point to segments other than the replacement texts, confusing the flow analysis. This change reduces processing time by about 2% for an average package file in TeX Live 2024, and by up to 11% for large files such as `expl3-code.tex` when flow analysis is enabled despite incomplete code understanding. - Raise an error on ambiguous uses of `--long-option VALUE`, where `VALUE` is a valid command-line option. (contributed by @muzimuzhi in #185 and c48fa116) #### Docker image This version of explcheck has made the following changes to our Docker image `ghcr.io/witiko/expltools/explcheck`: - Replace Lua 5.3 with LuaJIT in `Dockerfile`. (#184) This change improves processing time by about 33% for an average package file in TeX Live 2024, and by up to 61% for large files such as `expl3-code.tex` when flow analysis is enabled despite incomplete code understanding. #### Continuous integration This version of explcheck has made the following changes to our continuous integration: - Run regression tests on different Lua interpreters: Lua 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, LuaTeX, and LuaJIT. (#184) - Bump `docker/login-action` from 3 to 4. (contributed by @dependabot in #186.) Overall, the changes in this release reduce the processing time for large files such as `expl3-code.tex` from months to hours (up to 65×) when flow analysis is enabled despite incomplete code understanding, and reduce the memory footprint of flow analysis by up to 3× for those files. While this is still insufficient for real-time use (e.g., in a language server; see ticket #68), it makes the tool practical for scenarios such as continuous integration. For a discussion of other potential performance improvements of the flow analysis, see ticket #156. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/expltools The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/expltools/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Clea F. Rees submitted an update to the memoize-ext package. Version number: 0.3 2026-03-06 License type: lppl1.3c Summary description: Extended support for memoization with Memoize Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.3: Fix bug involving loss of tagging for tikzpictures on multiple talk overlays. In case memoization aborts, the tagging support now warns the user intervention may be required. In case no supported plug is found, it now marks the code as unmemoizable. Whether tagging is active is added to the salt. If the plug used for a tikzpicture depends on code outside that picture, the plug is added to the context. 0.3.1: Fixes a bug in 0.3 which prevented memoization of TikZ pictures in tagged PDF if a custom plug was installed in the latex-lab sockets. This version only marks code as unmemoizable if the installed plug is known to break tagging in conjunction with memoization (currently only the default `text` plug). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoize-ext More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/memoize-ext ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

05 Mar '26

Vít Starý Novotný submitted an update to the expltools package. Version: 2026-03-04 License: lppl1.3c gpl2+ Summary description: Development tools for expl3 programmers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ## expltools 2026-03-04 ### explcheck v0.18.0 #### Enhancements This version of explcheck has made the following new enhancements: - In human-readable output, mention that further issues may be reported after fixing the current errors after we have failed fast. (reported by @dbitouze and @muzimuzhi in #170 and #171, fixed in #175) - Add more support for flow analysis. (#176) This adds support for the following issues from Section 5.1 of the document titled [_Warnings and errors for the expl3 analysis tool_][warnings-and-errors]: 1. E505 (Calling an undefined function) Flow analysis is now enabled by default for all package files with at least 95% code understanding. - In issue W419 (Using an undeclared variable or constant), also report undeclared usages through `V`- and `v`-type arguments. (#176) - Support the plain TeX `\newtoks` command and the corresponding deprecated expl3 function `\toks_new:N`. (#176) - Support separate command-line options `--long-option value` in addition to `--long-option=value`. (contributed by @muzimuzhi in #178) - Deprecate the command-line options `--group-files={true|false|auto}` and `--make-at-letter={true|false|auto}`. Add the valueless options `--make-at-letter`, `--make-at-other`, `--group-files`, and `--no-group-files`. (#178) The expected usage is now as follows: - `--make-at-letter` instead of `--make-at-letter=true` - `--make-at-other` instead of `--make-at-letter=false` - `--group-files` instead of `--group-files=true` - `--no-group-files` instead of `--group-files=false` - no option instead of `--make-at-letter=auto` and `--group-files=auto` (default) The deprecated options are scheduled for removal in version 1.0.0. #### Code understanding This version of explcheck introduces the following changes to code understanding and to how it evaluates its own level of confidence: - Add support for `\cs_undefine:N`. (#176) - Treat simple constant and variable definitions, as well as message texts, as well-understood. (#176) - Consider `FUNCTION_CALL` statements high-confidence and well-understood only if there are no potential low-confidence definitions of the called control function. (#176) These changes have had a mixed effect on the [code coverage][]. Overall, it has remained mostly stable, but coverage on the current TeX Live 2025 snapshot (2026-02-19) now rounds to 19%, down from the previous 20%. [code coverage]: https://witiko.github.io/Expl3-Linter-11/#code-coverage #### Fixes This version of explcheck has fixed the following bugs: - Fix an integer overflow in function `format_pathname()`. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #163, fixed in 776eb72) - Fix a failure to load TOML files whose last line is a comment without a trailing newline.
