Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This release of zhnumber v3.1 adds counting-rod numeral support, new date formatting options, several bug fixes, and compatibility updates.

NEW FEATURES

- Added counting-rod numerals `\zhrod` and `\zhrodbox`, along with the configuration command `\zhrodsetup` (#366). - Added support for outputting year-only or year-and-month dates.

BUG FIXES

- Fixed a typo where `\zhdigwithoptions` passed its options as an extra argument to `\zhnum_digits_counter:n`. Previously, `\zhdig` with options would error with "Use of ??? doesn't match its definition" and produce garbled output (#1008). - Fixed a typo where the `Tn` key was bound to the Heavenly-Stems-and-Earthly-Branches (干支) variable instead of the Heavenly Stems (天干) variable. Setting `Tn` previously affected the output of `\zhganzhi` rather than `\zhtiangan` (#1077).

IMPROVEMENTS

- Documented the behavior of option-bearing forms when written to auxiliary files: the counter value is frozen at write time, while the style is applied when the auxiliary file is read back (#1008). - `\zhnum` and `\zhdig` with options now expand the counter to its numeric value before passing it to the underlying implementation, so that the counter value is frozen when written to `.toc` and similar auxiliary files (#1008). - Replaced the deprecated `\keys_set_filter:nnnN` with `\keys_set_exclude_groups:nnnN` to avoid errors under debug mode starting from l3kernel 2026-09-09 (#1095). - Raised the minimum required LaTeX3 version to 2025/10/09.
