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 -------------------------------------------- - -In math environments 'gather', 'gather*', 'gathered', 'multline' -and 'multline*', fill commands such as 'M-q' and 'C-c C-q C-e' are -disabled. This sorts out the inconsistency between those and -'equation', 'displaymath' environments, in latter of which filling -is already disabled. - -If you want filling in such environments, customize -'LaTeX-indent-environment-list' to remove them. - -Auto fill continues to work in such environment anyway. - -In addition, AUCTeX adds support of alignment at '&' sign in -'align'-like environments such as 'alignat', 'aligned' and so on, -as well as 'matrix'-like environments such as 'pmatrix', 'bmatrix' -and so on. - -Now two commands 'Texindex' and 'Texi2dvi' are available when you -type 'C-c C-c' in Texinfo mode. The command 'Texindex' runs -'texindex' on index files and 'Texi2dvi' runs 'pdftexi2dvi' or -'texi2dvi' according to the value of 'TeX-PDF-mode'. - -So you can typeset Texinfo documents into PDF or DVI format from -within AUCTeX. - -AUCTeX's own help messages for LaTeX errors are now shown only for -LaTeX runs. AUCTeX shows raw error/warning messages found in -'.log' files for runs of formats other than LaTeX, such as plain -TeX, ConTeXt and Texinfo, as it does even for LaTeX runs when it -can't find a matching entry in its own help message catalogue. - -Due to this change, customize option 'TeX-error-description-list' -can no longer have a fallback entry that matches any error. If -your customized value includes such entry, typically '(".*" . "No -help available")', please remove it. - -Two functions 'TeX-split-string' and 'TeX-assoc' are now obsolete -and will be removed in future release. If your personal code uses -these functions, use 'split-string' and 'assoc-string' instead. - -The function 'TeX-read-key-val' now accepts a function call as -second argument. This change should help AUCTeX style writers who -use 'TeX-arg-key-val' and have to deal with dynamic key-values. -Example of usage: - (TeX-add-style-hook "foo" - (lambda () - (TeX-add-symbols - '("bar" (TeX-arg-key-val (function-returning-key-val)))))) - -Since AUCTeX 12.2, 'C-x C-w' accidentally disabled the parse on -save in that buffer, even when you enabled 'TeX-auto-save' option. -This bug was fixed. - -AUCTeX now requires GNU Emacs 24.3 or higher. - -Old implementations for viewers were discarded, as announced long -before. The variables 'TeX-output-view-style' and 'TeX-view-style' -have no effect now. The former placeholders '%v' and '%vv' in -'TeX-command-list' are ignored. - -AUCTeX now uses lexical binding which has been introduced in Emacs -24. This change should have no user-visible effect and require no -manual adaptions except in the following cases. - - - Entries added to the customization variable 'TeX-expand-list' - also had access to variables 'command' and 'pos'. Those are - now properly declared and named 'TeX-expand-command' and - 'TeX-expand-pos'. - - - Entries added to the customization variable 'TeX-expand-list' - had access to a variable 'file' which was bound to - 'TeX-active-master', i.e., it evaluated to either the master - or region file. This usage must be replaced with either - 'TeX-active-master' or 'TeX-active-master-with-quotes'. - - - Viewer entries in 'TeX-view-program-list' also had access to a - variable 'file' which was bound to the name of the master or - region file without extension. Instead, the function - 'TeX-active-master' has to be used now. - - - Macro argument parsing functions could set a variable - 'exit-mark' to the buffer position where point should be left - after all arguments have been read. This variable is now - named 'TeX-exit-mark'. - - - The functions in 'LaTeX-section-hook' had access or modified - the previously undeclared variables 'title', 'name', 'level', - 'done-mark', and 'toc'. These variables are now properly - declared and have the 'LaTeX-' prefix, e.g., - 'LaTeX-done-mark'. - - - The functions in 'ConTeXt-numbered-section-hook' and - 'ConTeXt-unnumbered-section-hook' had access or modified the - previously undeclared variables 'title', 'name', 'level', - 'done-mark', and 'reference'. These variables are now - properly declared and have the 'ConTeXt-' prefix, e.g., - 'ConTeXt-title'. - - - The functions in 'TeX-translate-location-hook' could access - and modify the free variables 'file', 'line', 'error', - 'offset', 'context', and 'string'. Those are now properly - declared variables with the prefix 'TeX-translate-location-', - e.g., 'TeX-translate-location-file'. - -The constant 'LaTeX-dialect' has been renamed to 'TeX-dialect' and -moved from 'latex.el' to 'tex.el'. 'LaTeX-dialect' now is an -obsolete alias. - -The style 'latexinfo.el' is removed from AUCTeX. 'latexinfo.el' -was meant to support latexinfo which in return was a LaTeX-2.09 -extension of Texinfo, but didn't manage to replace Texinfo. - -The style 'siunitx.el' is updated to support package version 3. -Key-value options provided by older package versions are removed, -deprecated macros and units are not supported anymore. - -AUCTeX has preliminary support for LaTeX-hooks. Hooks provided by -LaTeX kernel are known and available for completion in -'\AddToHook', '\RemoveFromHook' and '\AddToHookNext'. - -AUCTeX is now able to place all generated output files, including -those that are produced by applications running under AUCTeX, -temporary files related to region processing and preview-latex -files, in an output directory. To use this feature, set the new -user option 'TeX-output-dir' to the absolute path of the output -directory or a relative path which would be interpreted as being -relative to the master file in a multifile document. - -Note that this feature doesn't work if the document includes sub -file placed in sub directory below the main file via '\include' -command. - -Many other bugs were fixed. - -Requirements ------------- - -It is required that you use at least GNU Emacs 24.3. - -The preview-latex subsystem requires image support. - -You'll also need a working LaTeX installation and Ghostscript. -dvipng[2] (version 1.4 or later), a very fast DVI converter, can be -used to speed up the conversion. - -Availability ------------- - -The easiest way for getting AUCTeX is installing it with GNU ELPA, see -<URL:https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/auctex.html> for more information. -Other download options are available at -<URL:https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>. At release time, we provide the -source tarball. You can also use versions of Emacs that already -include AUCTeX or a software package management system for your -operating system which provides you with the latest release. - -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:https://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 AUCTeX managers are Arash Esbati, Mosè Giordano, and Tassilo -Horn. Everybody is welcome to contribute to the project by reporting -bugs and suggesting improvements, but the most effective way of -helping AUCTeX development remains volunteering for tasks. - -The following people contributed to this release series (in -alphabetical order): Ivan Andrus, Ralf Angeli, Masayuki Ataka, -Mohammad Hossein Bateni, Fabrice Ben Hamouda, Thomas Baumann, Vincent -Belaïche, Berend de Boer, Alex Branham, Uwe Brauer, Ken Brown, Joshua -Buhl, Jean-François Burnol, Patrice Dumas, Arash Esbati, Werner Fink, -Miguel Frasson, Peter S.
