Summary description: Automate compilation of large scale LaTeX projects
Announcement text:
We are proud to announce AutoLaTeX 50.1, a total re-implementation in Python 3 of the original AutoLaTeX tool. The previous Perl-based version is no longer maintained. This new release delivers significantly improved stability, performance, and cross-platform compatibility. It introduces a suite of new command-line options and actions that simplify project setup, figure management, and document inspection. Whether you are handling a small paper or a large thesis. AutoLaTeX 50.1 fixes the buggy automation of the entire workflow (from translator-based figure generation to bibliography, index, and glossary processing) without the issues reported in the previous Perl version.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/autolatex The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/autolatex/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

AutoLaTeX – Automate compilation of large scale LaTeX projects
AutoLaTeX is a tool for managing small to large LaTeX documents. It simplifies the process of producing PDF files or viewing documents by tracking file changes and automating the execution of required programs. One of AutoLaTeX’s best features is its translator rules (also known as translators), which automatically generate drawings for inclusion in the PDF from various source formats such as SVG and GNU Plot.
