Queries for the +mandatory arguments of macros and environments are adjusted where +applicable. The value which will be used after hitting @kbd{RET} without +other input is shown in the prompt in parentheses prefixed with +@samp{default}. For this change the signature of the function +@code{TeX-arg-length} is altered. The old argument list was: +@lisp +(defun TeX-arg-length (optional &optional prompt + initial-input definition default) +@end lisp + +whereas the new one is: +@lisp +(defun TeX-arg-length (optional &optional prompt + default initial-input definition) +@end lisp + +Note the position change of @code{DEFAULT}. + +@item +Indenting of conditionals is improved. Code inside constructs like +@samp{\ifx . \else . \fi} is correctly indented. An interface for style +files is also introduced which can add their macros to the indentation +engine. Check the file @file{algpseudocode.el} for an example. + +@item +You can optionally enable indent inside square brackets @samp{[]} by new +user options @code{TeX-indent-open-delimiters} and +@code{TeX-indent-close-delimiters}. +@ifclear rawfile +@xref{Indenting}. +@end ifclear + +@item +Now @file{tex-buf.el} is merged into @file{tex.el} and no longer exists. +If your personal code has @code{(require 'tex-buf)}, one of the following +prescriptions would serve. +@enumerate +@item +Remove @code{(require 'tex-buf)}. +@item +Replace it with @code{(require 'tex)}. +@item +Replace it with @code{(require 'latex)}. +@end enumerate + +@end itemize + +@heading News in 13.1 + +@itemize @bullet +@item +In math environments @samp{gather}, @samp{gather*}, @samp{gathered}, +@samp{multline} and @samp{multline*}, fill commands such as @kbd{M-q} and +@kbd{C-c C-q C-e} are disabled. This sorts out the inconsistency between +those and @samp{equation}, @samp{displaymath} environments, in latter of +which filling is already disabled. + +If you want filling in such environments, customize +@code{LaTeX-indent-environment-list} to remove them. + +Auto fill continues to work in such environment anyway. + +In addition, @AUCTeX{} adds support of alignment at @samp{&} sign in +@samp{align}-like environments such as @samp{alignat}, @samp{aligned} and +so on, as well as @samp{matrix}-like environments such as @samp{pmatrix}, +@samp{bmatrix} and so on. + +@item +Now two commands @samp{Texindex} and @samp{Texi2dvi} are available when +you type @kbd{C-c C-c} in Texinfo mode. The command @samp{Texindex} runs +@command{texindex} on index files and @samp{Texi2dvi} runs +@command{pdftexi2dvi} or @command{texi2dvi} according to the value of +@code{TeX-PDF-mode}. + +So you can typeset Texinfo documents into @acronym{PDF} or @acronym{DVI} +format from within @AUCTeX{}. + +@item +@AUCTeX{}'s own help messages for @LaTeX{} errors are now shown only for +@LaTeX{} runs. @AUCTeX{} shows raw error/warning messages found in +@file{.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 @code{TeX-error-description-list} can +no longer have a fallback entry that matches any error. If your +customized value includes such entry, typically @samp{(".*" . "No help +available")}, please remove it. + +@item +Two functions @code{TeX-split-string} and @code{TeX-assoc} are now +obsolete and will be removed in future release. If your personal code +uses these functions, use @code{split-string} and @code{assoc-string} +instead. + +@item +The function @code{TeX-read-key-val} now accepts a function call as second +argument. This change should help @AUCTeX{} style writers who use +@code{TeX-arg-key-val} and have to deal with dynamic key-values. Example +of usage: +@lisp +(TeX-add-style-hook "foo" + (lambda () + (TeX-add-symbols + '("bar" (TeX-arg-key-val (function-returning-key-val)))))) +@end lisp + +@item +Since @AUCTeX{} 12.2, @kbd{C-x C-w} accidentally disabled the parse on +save in that buffer, even when you enabled @code{TeX-auto-save} option. +This bug was fixed. + +@item +@AUCTeX{} now requires GNU Emacs 24.3 or higher. + +@item +Old implementations for viewers were discarded, as announced long before. +The variables @code{TeX-output-view-style} and @code{TeX-view-style} have +no effect now. The former placeholders @samp{%v} and @samp{%vv} in +@code{TeX-command-list} are ignored. + +@item +@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. + +@itemize @minus +@item +Entries added to the customization variable @code{TeX-expand-list} also +had access to variables @code{command} and @code{pos}. Those are now +properly declared and named @code{TeX-expand-command} and +@code{TeX-expand-pos}. + +@item +Entries added to the customization variable @code{TeX-expand-list} had +access to a variable @code{file} which was bound to +@code{TeX-active-master}, i.e., it evaluated to either the master or +region file. This usage must be replaced with either +@code{TeX-active-master} or @code{TeX-active-master-with-quotes}. + +@item +Viewer entries in @code{TeX-view-program-list} also had access to a +variable @code{file} which was bound to the name of the master or region +file without extension. Instead, the function @code{TeX-active-master} +has to be used now. + +@item +Macro argument parsing functions could set a variable @code{exit-mark} +to the buffer position where point should be left after all arguments +have been read. This variable is now named @code{TeX-exit-mark}. + +@item +The functions in @code{LaTeX-section-hook} had access or modified the +previously undeclared variables @code{title}, @code{name}, @code{level}, +@code{done-mark}, and @code{toc}. These variables are now properly +declared and have the @samp{LaTeX-} prefix, e.g., +@code{LaTeX-done-mark}. + +@item +The functions in @code{ConTeXt-numbered-section-hook} and +@code{ConTeXt-unnumbered-section-hook} had access or modified the +previously undeclared variables @code{title}, @code{name}, @code{level}, +@code{done-mark}, and @code{reference}. These variables are now +properly declared and have the @samp{ConTeXt-} prefix, e.g., +@code{ConTeXt-title}. + +@item +The functions in @code{TeX-translate-location-hook} could access and +modify the free variables @code{file}, @code{line}, @code{error}, +@code{offset}, @code{context}, and @code{string}. Those are now properly +declared variables with the prefix @samp{TeX-translate-location-}, e.g., +@code{TeX-translate-location-file}. +@end itemize + +@item +The constant @code{LaTeX-dialect} has been renamed to @code{TeX-dialect} +and moved from @file{latex.el} to @file{tex.el}. @code{LaTeX-dialect} +now is an obsolete alias. + +@item +The style @file{latexinfo.el} is removed from @AUCTeX{}. +@file{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. + +@item +The style @file{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. + +@item +@AUCTeX{} has preliminary support for @LaTeX{}-hooks. Hooks provided by +@LaTeX{} kernel are known and available for completion in +@samp{\AddToHook}, @samp{\RemoveFromHook} and @samp{\AddToHookNext}. + +@item +@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 @previewlatex{} files, in an output +directory. To use this feature, set the new user option +@code{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 @samp{\include} command. + +@item +Many other bugs were fixed. +@end itemize + +@heading News in 12.3 + +@itemize @bullet +@item +Support for @samp{PSTricks} is now @acronym{PDF}-oriented. @AUCTeX{} no +longer turns off PDF mode for @samp{PSTricks} documents even without +@samp{pst-pdf}. It now sets up @code{TeX-PDF-from-DVI} option so that +@acronym{PDF} output is generated when @code{TeX-PDF-mode} is enabled +(default). Users who want @acronym{DVI} output should disable PDF mode +explicitly by file local variable, or customize @code{TeX-PDF-mode} to +@code{nil}. + +@item +The function @code{font-latex-update-font-lock} has been obsoleted in +order to fix @samp{bug#37945}. That function was used by several style +files in order to refresh fontification after adding new symbols or +verbatim constructs. It is better to call @code{font-lock-flush} in the +former case and @code{font-latex-set-syntactic-keywords} in the latter +case. The function @code{font-latex-update-font-lock} still exists as a +no-op which only shows a warning explaining how to update font-lock as +mentioned above. + +@item +Math expression highlighting was improved. Highlighting for documents +with a lot of inline math expressions @samp{$...$} won't get scrambled +now (@samp{bug#33139}). + +In addition, it is no longer recommended to customize +@code{font-latex-math-environments}. Use @code{texmathp-tex-commands} +instead. +@ifclear rawfile +@xref{Fontification of math}. +@end ifclear + +@item +@AUCTeX{} tracks changes in @LaTeX{}2e 2020-02-02 release. @AUCTeX{} +supports the improvements to @LaTeX{} font selection mechanism (NFSS). +New macros like @samp{\textsw} or @samp{\textulc} are added to font +insertion keyboard commands. +@ifset rawfile +See the section for inserting font specifiers for details. +@end ifset +@ifclear rawfile +@xref{Font Specifiers}, for details. +@end ifclear +Further, the entries in the menu @samp{LaTeX}, @samp{Insert Font} are reorganized and +adjusted accordingly. + +Macros previously provided by @file{textcomp.sty} are now part of +@LaTeX{} kernel. @AUCTeX{} tracks this change as well and support for +the new macro @samp{\legacyoldstylenums} is added. + +@item +Insertion of environments in @LaTeX{} documents (i.e.@: @kbd{C-c C-e}) was +improved. The former code had a few bugs, which sometimes resulted in +either spurious empty line or spurious comment prefix, or both, +especially when the region is active. Those bugs are now fixed. + +@item +More bugs fixed, other minor features implemented. +@end itemize + +@heading News in 12.2 + +@itemize @bullet +@item +@AUCTeX{} reflects the changes in @LaTeX{}2e 2019-10-01 release. +@samp{filecontents} environment now takes an optional argument and can +be used anywhere in a document. The macros @samp{\Ref} and +@samp{\labelformat} are moved from @file{varioref.sty} to @LaTeX{} +kernel. @samp{amsmath} has a new macro @samp{\overunderset}. + +@item +A new method is implemented in @previewlatex{} to adjust the foreground +colors of generated images to those of Emacs, when the @LaTeX{} command +produces @acronym{PDF}. The traditional method became invalid because +of the change introduced in Ghostscript 9.27. Unfortunately, the new +method doesn't work due to a bug in Ghostscript 9.27 and is valid only +for Ghostscript > 9.27. There is also a fallback method for gs 9.27 +users which displays plain ``black on white'' images. For successful +function of @previewlatex{}, the users are encouraged to set up the new +user option @code{preview-pdf-color-adjust-method} to choose appropriate +option among the three: new, traditional and fallback method. + +@item +@AUCTeX{} has support for the Flymake package in Emacs 26 or newer. To +enable, call @kbd{M-x flymake-mode @key{RET}} or add this to your +@file{.emacs} file: +@lisp +(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook #'flymake-mode) +@end lisp + +@item +The way the option @code{TeX-record-buffer} is used was corrected. It +was used in just the opposite way as the document says. Erase the +customization if you have customized this option since it now acts in +reverse to your expectation. + +@item +A former customize option @code{japanese-TeX-command-list} is removed. +Use @code{japanese-TeX-engine-default}, or if it's really necessary, +customize @code{TeX-command-list} directly if the task which the option +used to carry is required. + +@item +Support for standard @LaTeX{} without e-@TeX{} extension is now very +limited. It doesn't work if raw @TeX{} code is put on the command line +to invoke @command{latex} command. It also fails for region compilation (@kbd{C-c +C-r} and so on) with documents of non-ascii file name. In addition, it +no longer works with @previewlatex{}. We consider this incompatibility +is permissible because e-@TeX{} extension is enabled for standard +@LaTeX{} by default long ago. @LaTeX{} variants such as Xe@LaTeX{} and +Lua@LaTeX{} are not affected. + +@item +Key binds in Texinfo mode are improved. Typing @kbd{$}, @kbd{^}, +@kbd{_} and @kbd{\} now just self-inserts without pointless side effects +in Texinfo mode. + +In addition, the option @code{TeX-electric-escape} is now effective in +Texinfo mode. When it is enabled, typing @kbd{@@} will invoke +@code{TeX-electric-macro} offering completion in similar style with +other @TeX{} modes of @AUCTeX{}. + +@item +Fontification support for @samp{biblatex} package is improved and +updated to macros provided by package version 3.12. For qualified +lists, at least 2 mandatory arguments are fontified. + +@item +Support for column specifiers @samp{w} and @samp{W} provided by +@samp{array} package is added to @file{array.el}. The correct counting +of columns only works when the @samp{align} parameter is enclosed in +braces, e.g., @samp{w@{l@}@{3cm@}}. The short version @samp{wl@{3cm@}} +is not supported. + +@item +Entries for @samp{PDF Tools} are added in +@code{TeX-view-program-list-builtin} for Windows and macOS. This viewer +can be configured under these operating systems with an entry like this +in an init file: +@lisp +(setq TeX-view-program-selection '((output-pdf "PDF Tools"))) +@end lisp + +@item +Several other bugs were fixed, many minor features were added. +@end itemize + +@heading News in 12.1 + +@itemize @bullet +@item +@AUCTeX{} now requires GNU Emacs 24 or higher. Support for XEmacs has +been dropped. + +@item +Besides the change in the supported version of Emacs, there has been no +functional change in this release, which is equivalent to version 11.92. +@end itemize + +@heading News in 11.92 + +@itemize @bullet +@item +@previewlatex{} is compatible with Ghostscript 9.22 where the operator +@samp{.runandhide} is removed. All occurrences of @samp{.runandhide} in +@previewlatex{} are replaced by alternative code making it work with +Ghostscript 9.22 again. + +@item +@AUCTeX{} has a new customize option +@code{TeX-math-input-method-off-regexp}. When you begin to input a math +formula, the current input method is turned off if its name matches this +regular expression. + +In fact this variable was introduced long before, but has not been +documented in info files nor turned into a customize option with +@code{defcustom} until this release. + +@item +The window system focus is pulled back to Emacs when viewing with +evince-compatible viewers if a new customize option +@code{TeX-view-evince-keep-focus} is non-nil. + +@item +The usual dose of bug fixes was administered. +@end itemize + +@heading News in 11.91 + +@itemize @bullet +@item +Now @AUCTeX{} has a logo. The @LaTeX{} code to create it is available +in the @file{etc/} directory of the package. + +@item +Add support for @command{upmendex}, an extension of @command{makeindex} +capable of sorting indexes by unicode based ICU. + +@item +Fix @previewlatex{} to interact correctly with Japanese @LaTeX{}. The +parsing routine was made robust not to be confused by the 7-bit encoding +of Japanese text and the necessary option to @LaTeX{} command is kept +even when preamble caching is enabled. + +@item +The new ``Glossaries'' entry in @code{TeX-command-list} runs the command +@command{makeglossaries}. + +@item +Fontification of control symbols has been improved. Characters defined +in @code{font-latex-match-simple-exclude-list} do not receive any +fontification. In Doc@TeX{} mode, the character @samp{_} is removed +from @code{font-latex-match-simple-exclude-list} in order to fontify +macros like @samp{\__module_foo:nnn} correctly. + +@item +Fontification of math environments has been improved. Optional and/or +mandatory argument(s) to environments are not fontified. + +@item +@file{preview.sty} loads @file{luatex85.sty} if possible and should be +compatible with newer lua@TeX{} versions. + +@item +@AUCTeX{} has a new customize option @code{TeX-ispell-verb-delimiters}. +This string contains usual characters used as delimiters for in-line +verbatim macros like @samp{\verb}. Text between delimiters after an +in-line verbatim macro will be skipped during spell checking. + +@item +Fontification of in-line verbatim macros has been improved. +@file{font-latex.el} recognizes an optional or a mandatory argument for +macros like @samp{\Verb} from @file{fancyvrb.sty}, @samp{\mint} and +@samp{\mintinline} from @file{minted.sty} and fontifies verbatim content +correctly. + +@item +@AUCTeX{} can put and parse labels in optional argument of environments. +Inserting labels is done by new function +@code{LaTeX-env-label-as-keyval}. A new customize option +@code{LaTeX-listing-label} is available as prefix to labels in code +typesetting environments, e.g.@: @samp{lstlisting} environment provided by +@samp{listings} package. @code{LaTeX-listing-label} defaults to +@code{lst:}. Parsing of labels for later referencing relies on two +requirements: +@enumerate +@item +Label should come as last key-value argument, and +@item +label must be enclosed in braces, e.g. +@example +\begin@{lstlisting@}[caption=Some Caption,label=@{lst:foo@}] +... +\end@{lstlisting@} +@end example +@end enumerate + +@item +The function @code{LaTeX-label} now takes a second optional argument +@code{NO-INSERT}. When non-@code{nil}, @code{LaTeX-label} reads a label +and returns it as a string. This argument is also passed to any +function bound to @code{LaTeX-label-function} (see next item). + +@item +@strong{Incompatible change:} The signature for the function passed with +the customize option @code{LaTeX-label-function} has changed. The +function bound to this variable is now expected to take an optional +second argument @code{NO-INSERT}. When this argument is non-@code{nil}, +the function should read and only return a label as a string; insertion +is done by another function. + +@item +Directory local variables were ineffective for +@code{japanese-latex-mode} and @code{japanese-plain-tex-mode}. This bug +was fixed. (This was actually done in @AUCTeX{} 11.90, but not +advertised) + +@item +The output of Japanese text from Japanese @TeX{} engines is decoded +correctly for most cases, according to the encoding of the @TeX{} +documents and the locale. The difference between MS Windows, macOS and +unix-like OS is taken into account. (This was actually done in +@AUCTeX{} 11.90, but not advertised) + +@item +Quite a few new @LaTeX{} packages are supported. + +@item +As usual, many bugs were fixed. + +@end itemize + +@heading News in 11.90 + +@itemize @bullet +@item +In addition to the completion performed by @code{TeX-complete-symbol}, +@AUCTeX{} now also supports the new Emacs standard completion-at-point +facility (see the Emacs command @code{completion-at-point}). This also +means that modern completion UIs like @i{company-mode} work out of the +box in @TeX{} and @LaTeX{} buffers. +@ifclear rawfile +@xref{Completion}, for details. +@end ifclear + +@item +Completion is now aware of being inside a math environment and then +completes math macros. + +@item +@AUCTeX{} is able to display several levels of super- and subscripts, +each one raised above and a bit smaller than its basis. For this +feature, have a look at the customize options +@code{font-latex-fontify-script} (especially the new values +@code{multi-level} and @code{invisible}) and +@code{font-latex-fontify-script-max-level}. Also, the script characters +@samp{^} and @samp{_} are also fontified with a special face named +@code{font-latex-script-char-face}. +@ifclear rawfile +@xref{Fontification of math}, for details. +@end ifclear + +@item +Parsing of format specification in various tabular environments has been +improved. The function @code{LaTeX-insert-item} (@kbd{C-c @key{LFD}}) +inserts suitable number of ampersands for @samp{*@{num@}@{cols@}} +constructs. Style files for @LaTeX{} packages @samp{tabularx}, +@samp{tabulary}, @samp{longtable}, @samp{dcolumn} and @samp{siunitx} are +adapted to take advantage of this improvement. + +@item +@AUCTeX{} has a new Ispell dictionary @file{tex-ispell.el} for macros +and environments which will be skipped during spell checking. The +activiation of this feature is controlled by a new customize option +@code{TeX-ispell-extend-skip-list}, which is set to @code{t} and +activated by default. + +@item +@AUCTeX{} has a new customize option @code{TeX-raise-frame-function} +that is currently only used by Evince and Atril inverse search to raise +the Emacs frame. + +@item +When inserting a new float, @AUCTeX{} will now prompt for a +short-caption if the length of the caption provided is greater than a +certain size. This size is controlled via a new user option +@code{LaTeX-short-caption-prompt-length}. + +@item +Parsing of the compilation log has been reworked. You should encounter +fewer mistaken files while navigating through errors and warnings. + +@item +Two new user options, @code{TeX-ignore-warnings} and +@code{TeX-suppress-ignored-warnings}, allow ignoring certain warnings +after compilation of the document. +@ifclear rawfile +@xref{Ignoring warnings}, for details. +@end ifclear + +@item +A new option, @code{TeX-PDF-from-DVI}, controls if and how to produce a +@acronym{PDF} file by converting a @acronym{DVI} file. This supersedes +@code{TeX-PDF-via-dvips-ps2pdf} which is still recognized but marked as +obsolete and may be removed in future releases. + +@item +Support for a number of external viewers has been added: +@itemize +@item +Atril viewer. Forward and inverse search requires version 1.9.1 or +later to work. + +@item +dviout viewer on Windows. Note that this setup works when +@code{TeX-source-correlate-method} is set to use @samp{source-specials} +for @acronym{DVI}, e.g.: +@lisp +(setq TeX-source-correlate-method + '((dvi . source-specials) + (pdf . synctex))) +@end lisp +which is the default. + +@item +SumatraPDF viewer on Windows. + +@item +Zathura viewer. Forward and inverse search requires a recent version of +the program to work (3.4 or later). +@end itemize + +@item +A new function, @code{TeX-documentation-texdoc}, for reading +documentation with @samp{texdoc} has been added. @code{TeX-doc} is +still available but now @kbd{C-c ?} runs +@code{TeX-documentation-texdoc}. + +@item +@AUCTeX{} has a new custom option +@code{LaTeX-reftex-cite-format-auto-activate} which controls the +automatic activation of citation formats provided by Ref@TeX{} when a style +file is loaded and Ref@TeX{} is enabled. Currently, @file{biblatex.el}, +@file{harvard.el}, @file{jurabib.el} and @file{natbib.el} use this +feature. If you have customized @code{reftex-cite-format} and want to +use your settings, you should set this variable to @code{nil}. + +@item +@AUCTeX{} now has limited support for the TikZ package. For the moment, +this includes some basic support for prompting the user of arguments to +the @samp{\draw} macro. + +@item +The style @file{graphicx.el} went through a bigger overhaul. The +optional argument of command @samp{\includegraphics} now supports +key-val query; keys can independently be chosen anytime by pressing the +@key{,} key. As a side effect, the variable +@code{LaTeX-includegraphics-options-alist} is now no-op and is removed +from @file{tex-style.el}. You can safely remove any customization of it +from your init file. The mandatory argument of @samp{\includegraphics} +knows about image file extensions supported by the used engine and +offers them for inclusion. + +@item +Support for other @LaTeX{} packages was improved, and style files for +several new packages were added. + +@item +Many bugs were crushed along the way. +@end itemize + +@heading News in 11.89 + +@itemize @bullet +@item +You can now run all commands needed to compile a document and then open +the viewer with a single command: @code{TeX-command-run-all}, bound to +@kbd{C-c C-a}. + +@item +Commands such as @samp{LaTeX} and @samp{View} can now be executed conveniently on the +current section (or part, chapter, subsection, etc). See +@code{LaTeX-command-section} and +@code{LaTeX-command-section-change-level}. +@ifclear rawfile +@xref{Starting a Command}, for details. +@end ifclear + +@item +Forward and backward search with Evince now also work when only a region +of the document is compiled/viewed. + +@item +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. + +@item +With new option @code{TeX-PDF-via-dvips-ps2pdf} it is possible to +compile a document to @acronym{DVI} and then convert it to @acronym{PDF} +using @command{dvips}--@command{ps2pdf} before viewing it. + +@item +New option @code{TeX-file-line-error} allows to select file:line:error +style for error messages. + +@item +Indent @samp{\[...\]} math mode as a regular environment by default. + +@item +Now @AUCTeX{} suggests to run @command{makeindex} when appropriate. + +@item +@code{TeX-view-program-list} can contain, as third optional element of +each item, the name of the executable(s) needed to open the viewer. + +@item +@code{TeX-expand-list} variable has been split into +@code{TeX-expand-list} and @code{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 @code{TeX-expand-list} +only new expansion strings. + +@item +Before running commands like @TeX{} and @LaTeX{}, now @AUCTeX{} performs +some checks.
