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).

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The sharedline package provides a robust and flexible solution for typesetting
shared lines in dramatic verse, such as in the plays of Shakespeare. It allows a
single line of verse to be split across multiple speakers while maintaining
perfect horizontal alignment, creating the visual effect of a single, continuous
line of verse, keeping track of the width of previous verse segments in a
convenient way.
