Release notes for AUCTeX 11.91 with preview-latex
|
||||
=================================================
|
||||
|
||||
AUCTeX provides by far the most wide-spread and sophisticated
|
||||
environment for editing LaTeX, TeX, ConTeXt and Texinfo documents with
|
||||
Emacs or XEmacs. Combined with packages like RefTeX, flyspell and
|
||||
others it is pretty much without peer as a comprehensive authoring
|
||||
solution for a large variety of operating system platforms and TeX
|
||||
distributions. It supports document-dependent completion and syntax
|
||||
highlighting, easily accessible menus, jumping to error locations in
|
||||
the source file, a number of editing shortcuts, intelligent
|
||||
indentation and filling of text during entry, and WYSIWYG previews of
|
||||
graphical elements like math formulas right in the Emacs source
|
||||
buffer, by virtue of its preview-latex component.
|
||||
|
||||
One part of the preview-latex subsystem is the central `preview.sty'
|
||||
file that is independently useful for a number of applications and is
|
||||
available in unbundled form from CTAN.[1]
|
||||
|
||||
AUCTeX needs volunteers in particular for non-programming tasks:
|
||||
documentation writing, tutorials, translations, reference material,
|
||||
sleuth work, testing.
|
||||
|
||||
New features and fixed bugs in this release
|
||||
-------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Now AUCTeX has a logo. The LaTeX code to create it is available in
|
||||
the 'etc/' directory of the package.
|
||||
|
||||
Add support for 'upmendex', an extension of 'makeindex' capable of
|
||||
sorting indexes by unicode based ICU.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix preview-latex to interact correctly with Japanese LaTeX. The
|
||||
parsing routine was made robust not to be confused by the 7-bit
|
||||
encoding of Japanese text and the necessary option to LaTeX command
|
||||
is kept even when preamble caching is enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
The new "Glossaries" entry in 'TeX-command-list' runs the command
|
||||
'makeglossaries'.
|
||||
|
||||
Fontification of control symbols has been improved. Characters
|
||||
defined in 'font-latex-match-simple-exclude-list' do not receive
|
||||
any fontification. In DocTeX mode, the character '_' is removed
|
||||
from 'font-latex-match-simple-exclude-list' in order to fontify
|
||||
macros like '\__module_foo:nnn' correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
Fontification of math environments has been improved. Optional
|
||||
and/or mandatory argument(s) to environments are not fontified.
|
||||
|
||||
'preview.sty' loads 'luatex85.sty' if possible and should be
|
||||
compatible with newer luaTeX versions.
|
||||
|
||||
AUCTeX has a new customize option 'TeX-ispell-verb-delimiters'.
|
||||
This string contains usual characters used as delimiters for
|
||||
in-line verbatim macros like '\verb'. Text between delimiters
|
||||
after an in-line verbatim macro will be skipped during spell
|
||||
checking.
|
||||
|
||||
Fontification of in-line verbatim macros has been improved.
|
||||
'font-latex.el' recognizes an optional or a mandatory argument for
|
||||
macros like '\Verb' from 'fancyvrb.sty', '\mint' and '\mintinline'
|
||||
from 'minted.sty' and fontifies verbatim content correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
AUCTeX can put and parse labels in optional argument of
|
||||
environments. Inserting labels is done by new function
|
||||
'LaTeX-env-label-as-keyval'. A new customize option
|
||||
'LaTeX-listing-label' is available as prefix to labels in code
|
||||
typesetting environments, e.g. 'lstlisting' environment provided
|
||||
by 'listings' package. 'LaTeX-listing-label' defaults to 'lst:'.
|
||||
Parsing of labels for later referencing relies on two requirements:
|
||||
1. Label should come as last key-value argument, and
|
||||
2. label must be enclosed in braces, e.g.
|
||||
\begin{lstlisting}[caption=Some Caption,label={lst:foo}]
|
||||
...
|
||||
\end{lstlisting}
|
||||
|
||||
The function 'LaTeX-label' now takes a second optional argument
|
||||
'NO-INSERT'. When non-'nil', 'LaTeX-label' reads a label and
|
||||
returns it as a string. This argument is also passed to any
|
||||
function bound to 'LaTeX-label-function' (see next item).
|
||||
|
||||
*Incompatible change:* The signature for the function passed with
|
||||
the customize option 'LaTeX-label-function' has changed. The
|
||||
function bound to this variable is now expected to take an optional
|
||||
second argument 'NO-INSERT'. When this argument is non-'nil', the
|
||||
function should read and only return a label as a string; insertion
|
||||
is done by another function.
|
||||
|
||||
Directory local variables were ineffective for
|
||||
'japanese-latex-mode' and 'japanese-plain-tex-mode'. This bug was
|
||||
fixed. (This was actually done in AUCTeX 11.90, but not
|
||||
advertised)
|
||||
|
||||
The output of Japanese text from Japanese TeX engines is decoded
|
||||
correctly for most cases, according to the encoding of the TeX
|
||||
documents and the locale. The difference between MS Windows, macOS
|
||||
and unix-like OS is taken into account. (This was actually done in
|
||||
AUCTeX 11.90, but not advertised)
|
||||
|
||||
Quite a few new LaTeX packages are supported.
|
||||
|
||||
As usual, many bugs were fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
It is required that you use at least GNU Emacs 21 or XEmacs 21.4.
|
||||
XEmacs requires at least version 1.84 of the xemacs-base package
|
||||
(released on 01/27/2004) or a sumo tarball dated 02/02/2004 or newer
|
||||
for compiling AUCTeX: please use the XEmacs package system for
|
||||
upgrading if necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
The preview-latex subsystem requires image support. This is available
|
||||
with GNU Emacs 21.3 under the X window system. For Windows[2], Mac OS
|
||||
X (Carbon, Cocoa)[3] or native GTK+ toolkit support, at least version
|
||||
22.1 of GNU Emacs is required. Emacs 22 and later is the recommended
|
||||
platform for AUCTeX in general. If you prefer XEmacs, it will work in
|
||||
version 21.4.10 or later.
|
||||
|
||||
You'll also need a working LaTeX installation and Ghostscript.
|
||||
dvipng[4] (version 1.4 or later), a very fast DVI converter, can be
|
||||
used to speed up the conversion.
|
||||
|
||||
Availability
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way for getting AUCTeX, for users running Emacs 24.1 or
|
||||
higher, is installing it with GNU ELPA, see
|
||||
<URL:https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/auctex.html> for more information.
|
||||
Other download options are available at
|
||||
<URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>. At release time, we provide the
|
||||
source tarball, and a platform-independent XEmacs package file (which
|
||||
you have to install yourself using XEmacs' own package system, after
|
||||
using it for removing the previous version of AUCTeX). You can also
|
||||
use versions of Emacs that already include AUCTeX or a software
|
||||
package management system for your operating system which provides you
|
||||
with the latest release.
|
||||
|
||||
The XEmacs package file can be discerned by `pkg' in its name. It is
|
||||
usually more recent than what gets distributed from XEmacs servers and
|
||||
as part of the Sumo tarball.
|
||||
|
||||
A separate directory for each release contains some stuff from the
|
||||
tarball, such as ChangeLog, printable manuals, and a reference sheet.
|
||||
The download area is mirrored to the directory support/auctex on CTAN.
|
||||
AUCTeX is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.
|
||||
|
||||
You'll find more information at the web site of AUCTeX
|
||||
<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>, including its mailing list
|
||||
addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
Future development and additional information
|
||||
---------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
AUCTeX is proceeding as a GNU project with the long-term intent of
|
||||
merging it into Emacs. For that reason, all new contributors need to
|
||||
assign copyright to their contributions to the FSF (the usual
|
||||
procedure for Emacs contributors). The same holds for past
|
||||
contributors. The principal authors and maintainers have already done
|
||||
so, but it would require a diligent and diplomatic volunteer to find
|
||||
and ask the rest.
|
||||
|
||||
Current AUCTeX managers are Arash Esbati, Mos<6F> Giordano, and Tassilo
|
||||
Horn. Everybody is welcome to contribute to the project by reporting
|
||||
bugs and suggesting improvements, but the most effective way of
|
||||
helping AUCTeX development remains volunteering for tasks.
