Francesco Luciano submitted an update to the
onlinebrief24
package.
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

In this update, the following change was done: When the arguments provided by this package contain only one-digit-number, the internal resize algorithm is nullified.
By this, I fixed the layout issue where single-digit numbers stretched horizontally.
