TeX & Friends (by Jürgen Fenn)

AUCTeX wird nur noch über ELPA verteilt

Nach einer längeren Diskussion hat Tassilo Horn heute Morgen bekanntgegeben, dass AUCTeX, die Entwicklungsumbegung für (La)TeX in Emacs, nicht mehr als Tarball verteilt werde. AUCTeX kann seitdem nur noch über das Archiv ELPA bezogen werden. AUCTeX 13.3 war demnach die letzte Version, die es noch als Tarball gab. Die aktuelle Version ist AUCTeX 14.0.6.

Hi all,

from now on, AUCTeX releases are only made through the Emacs Lisp
Package Archive [1], so auctex-13.3 is the last standalone tarball
release. Distro packagers are encouraged to use the ELPA packages as-is
and install them under one of the new Emacs locations for system-wide
packages, see `package-directory-list’.

At the same time, development is now done on the „main“ branch and the
„master“ branch has been deleted. Its last state has been pushed as
„auctex-13“ branch for archiving purposes but it won’t get any updates
anymore.

For users who tracked the master branch: do „git switch main“ to switch
to the main brach where development takes place nowadays.

Bye,
Tassilo

[1] https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/auctex.html

Für die meisten Benutzer ändert sich dadurch in der Praxis nichts. AUCTeX ist weiterhin nicht Bestandteil von Emacs und muss daher nachinstalliert werden. Wer AUCTeX, wie üblich, über den Paketmanager package.el aus ELPA installiert hatte, wird von dort auch weiterhin Updates erhalten. Wer bisher die Entwicklerversion bezogen hatte, kann per git switch main von master zu main wechseln. Der Branch auctex-13 wurde heute zum Archiv.

How to make accessible PDF

How to make accessible PDF

The “LaTeX Tagged PDF” project is now advanced enough that more and more people start using it. We have therefore begun with building usage documentation that is not scattered across different repositories as this is the case at the moment.

A while ago we created a dedicated tagging-project repository for issues encountered with the project code. In this repository people can report problems and look up the current state of known issues. It is also hosting discussions related to the project.

We have now extended this repository to use GitHub pages providing a small number of web pages. So far it holds

This documentation and the tables are all work in progress and will get updated whenever there is new information.

The initial work on the compatibility tables was provided by Ian Thompson — thanks for that! If you want to help improving this, then this is easily possible. We are looking for volunteers who try out the tagging code in various ways and report problems or package incompatibilites and help with developing tests that prove or disprove that the tagging code can be used with packages for which we don’t have enough data so far.
