Announcement text:
Correctly handle non-ASCII filenames, UTF-8 coding of log files etc, including on MS Windows. Better treatment of wrapped lines in log files, so dependency information is correctly extracted, especially when filenames contain non-ASCII characters. Reinstate Windows batch file for running latexmk, now called latexmk.cmd. Internal improvements, bug fixes, improvement of warnings. Improved systematics on choice of STDOUT and STDERR for messages, matching the use that *tex programs make of them.

latexmk – Fully automated LaTeX document generation
Latexmk completely automates the process of generating a LaTeX document. Given the source files for a document, latexmk issues the appropriate sequence of commands to generate a .dvi, .ps, .pdf or hardcopy version of the document.
An important feature is the “preview continuous mode”, where the script watches all of the source files (primary file and included TeX and graphics files), and reruns LaTeX, etc., whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer can offer a display of the document’s latest state.
