Version: SVN 5925 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: A testing and building system for (La)TeX, LaTeX3 programming conventions, High-level LaTeX3 concepts, and Experimental LaTeX3 concepts. Announcement text:

Snapshot of SVN 5925 ==================== - New definition for experimental \char_(g)set_active_eq:NN - Revamp \tl_rescan functions to better handle spaces and newlines - New \exp:w for low-level expansion - Provide control of how round rounds ties in \fp_eval:n - Provide expandable errors for programmer - Documentation tweaks - Improvements in ..._show function formatting - Internal tightening up of function naming Also for l3build - Normalise out loading of .fd files - Correctly handle engine == "etex" and format == "latex" with modern TeX systems - Improvements in handling of 'packed' tests (thanks to Dominik Fischer)

Thanks for the uploads. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

l3experimental – Experimental LaTeX3 concepts

The l3experimental packages are a collection of experimental implementations for aspects of the LaTeX3 kernel, dealing with higher-level ideas such as the Designer Interface. Some of them work as stand alone packages, providing new functionality, and can be used on top of LaTeX2ε with no changes to the existing kernel.

The present release includes:

l3benchmark for measuring the time taken by TeX to run certain code;
l3draw, a code-level interface for constructing drawings;
l3graphics, an interfaces for the inclusion of graphics files;
l3opacity, support for opacity in PDF output;
l3str, support for string manipulation;
xcoffins, which allows the alignment of boxes using a series of ‘handle’ positions, supplementing the simple TeX reference point;
xgalley, which controls boxes receiving text for typesetting.
