Release notes for AUCTeX 11.89 with preview-latex
|
||||
=================================================
|
||||
|
||||
AUCTeX provides by far the most wide-spread and sophisticated
|
||||
environment for editing LaTeX, TeX, ConTeXt and Texinfo documents with
|
||||
Emacs or XEmacs. Combined with packages like RefTeX, flyspell and
|
||||
others it is pretty much without peer as a comprehensive authoring
|
||||
solution for a large variety of operating system platforms and TeX
|
||||
distributions. It supports document-dependent completion and syntax
|
||||
highlighting, easily accessible menus, jumping to error locations in
|
||||
the source file, a number of editing shortcuts, intelligent
|
||||
indentation and filling of text during entry, and WYSIWYG previews of
|
||||
graphical elements like math formulas right in the Emacs source
|
||||
buffer, by virtue of its preview-latex component.
|
||||
|
||||
One part of the preview-latex subsystem is the central `preview.sty'
|
||||
file that is independently useful for a number of applications and is
|
||||
available in unbundled form from CTAN.[1]
|
||||
|
||||
AUCTeX needs volunteers in particular for non-programming tasks:
|
||||
documentation writing, tutorials, translations, reference material,
|
||||
sleuth work, testing.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
New features and fixed bugs in this release
|
||||
-------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can now run all commands needed to compile a document and then
|
||||
open the viewer with a single command: 'TeX-command-run-all', bound
|
||||
to 'C-c C-a'.
|
||||
|
||||
Commands such as LaTeX and View can now be executed conveniently on
|
||||
the current section (or part, chapter, subsection, etc). See
|
||||
'LaTeX-command-section' and 'LaTeX-command-section-change-level'.
|
||||
|
||||
Forward and backward search with Evince now also work when only a
|
||||
region of the document is compiled/viewed.
|
||||
|
||||
To open the PDF output file you can now use also PDF Tools, a
|
||||
document viewer for Emacs. With it, as a plus, forward and
|
||||
backward search is accurate at word level.
|
||||
|
||||
With new option 'TeX-PDF-via-dvips-ps2pdf' it is possible to
|
||||
compile a document to DVI and then convert it to PDF using
|
||||
'dvips'-'ps2pdf' before viewing it.
|
||||
|
||||
New option 'TeX-file-line-error' allows to select file:line:error
|
||||
style for error messages.
|
||||
|
||||
Indent '\[...\]' math mode as a regular environment by default.
|
||||
|
||||
Now AUCTeX suggests to run 'makeindex' when appropriate.
|
||||
|
||||
'TeX-view-program-list' can contain, as third optional element of
|
||||
each item, the name of the executable(s) needed to open the viewer.
|
||||
|
||||
'TeX-expand-list' variable has been split into 'TeX-expand-list'
|
||||
and 'TeX-expand-list-builtin'. Only the former is intended to be
|
||||
customized by the user, the latter contains built-in expanders.
|
||||
You might want to keep in 'TeX-expand-list' only new expansion
|
||||
strings.
|
||||
|
||||
When new option 'TeX-check-engine' is non-nil, before running LaTeX
|
||||
commands AUCTeX will check whether the correct engine has been set,
|
||||
based upon known restrictions posed by LaTeX packages.
|
||||
|
||||
Basic support to ConTeXt Mark IV has been added. Users can now
|
||||
select the Mark version to be used with new option
|
||||
'ConTeXt-Mark-version', and AUCTeX is able to catch error messages
|
||||
in the output log of a Mark IV document.
|
||||
|
||||
Support for tons of LaTeX packages has been addedd.
|
||||
|
||||
Numbers of bugs have been fixed, many minor features have been
|
||||
addedd.
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
It is required that you use at least GNU Emacs 21 or XEmacs 21.4.
|
||||
XEmacs requires at least version 1.84 of the xemacs-base package
|
||||
(released on 01/27/2004) or a sumo tarball dated 02/02/2004 or newer
|
||||
for compiling AUCTeX: please use the XEmacs package system for
|
||||
upgrading if necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
The preview-latex subsystem requires image support. This is available
|
||||
with GNU Emacs 21.3 under the X window system. For Windows[2], Mac OS
|
||||
X (Carbon, Cocoa)[3] or native GTK+ toolkit support, at least version
|
||||
22.1 of GNU Emacs is required. Emacs 22 and later is the recommended
|
||||
platform for AUCTeX in general. If you prefer XEmacs, it will work in
|
||||
version 21.4.10 or later.
|
||||
|
||||
You'll also need a working LaTeX installation and Ghostscript.
|
||||
dvipng[4] (version 1.4 or later), a very fast DVI converter, can be
|
||||
used to speed up the conversion.
|
||||
|
||||
Availability
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
AUCTeX can be downloaded in various formats from
|
||||
<URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>. At release time, we provide the
|
||||
source tarball, a precompiled version for Emacs on Windows, and a
|
||||
platform-independent XEmacs package file (which you have to install
|
||||
yourself using XEmacs' own package system, after using it for removing
|
||||
the previous version of AUCTeX). The easiest way for using AUCTeX, of
|
||||
course, is using versions of Emacs that already include AUCTeX or a
|
||||
software package management system for your operating system which
|
||||
provides you with the latest release.
|
||||
|
||||
The XEmacs package file can be discerned by `pkg' in its name. It is
|
||||
usually more recent than what gets distributed from XEmacs servers and
|
||||
as part of the Sumo tarball.
|
||||
|
||||
A separate directory for each release contains some stuff from the
|
||||
tarball, such as ChangeLog, printable manuals, and a reference sheet.
|
||||
The download area is mirrored to the directory support/auctex on CTAN.
|
||||
AUCTeX is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.
|
||||
|
||||
You'll find more information at the web site of AUCTeX
|
||||
<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>, including its mailing list
|
||||
addresses.

||||

||||
|
||||
Future development and additional information
|
||||
---------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
AUCTeX is proceeding as a GNU project with the long-term intent of
|
||||
merging it into Emacs. For that reason, all new contributors need to
|
||||
assign copyright to their contributions to the FSF (the usual
|
||||
procedure for Emacs contributors). The same holds for past
|
||||
contributors. The principal authors and maintainers have already done
|
||||
so, but it would require a diligent and diplomatic volunteer to find
|
||||
and ask the rest.
|
||||
|
||||
Current project manager is David Kastrup. Paypal contributions to
|
||||
<URL:mailto:auctex@gnu.org> would be appreciated in order to
|
||||
compensate for time, money and hardware required for presenting AUCTeX
|
||||
at conferences. Extensions may be commissioned: enquire on the
|
||||
developer list (see above). Other than that, volunteering for tasks
|
||||
remains the most effective way of helping AUCTeX development.
