Snapshot of SVN 6984 ==================== xparse: - Adjustments to xparse to allow document commands to continue to function inside csnames: note that the team expect to give a clear statement on the scope of use of document commands in the near future - \NewExpandableDocumentCommand and related commands have been added to xparse - \IfValue(TF) is now marked as stable xfp: - New package to provide a document level interface to the LaTeX3 FPU: \fpeval expl3: - New \tl_range:nnn function - Reduction in use of \c_<number> constants in favour of explicit numbers l3build: - Normalisation of lines from luaotfload added - Better performance of cmdcheck target when working with file bundles

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.
