Summary description: Fully automated LaTeX document generation
Announcement text:
Fix bug that sometimes biber is incorrectly run after a *latex run results in an error, with biber then giving an error. Fix problem that if -gg is used with multiple files specified on command line, then generated files are deleted for all by the last file compiled. (So that -gg wasn't working as intended in this case.) Fixed some bugs with incorrect variable scope. (These bugs gave incomprehensible error messages about undefined variables!) Restrict warning diagnostics about ^^ constructs in aux file to those involving non-trivial Unicode characters, as against things like ^^M.

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.
