Subject: Version 3.40 of Lout now available
Version 3.40 of the Lout document formatting system is now available Also if you are one of the first to install this version, could you let me know how it goes. I'm slightly nervous because it has been three years since the last release. Jeff Kingston Changes and new features introduced in Version 3.40 [June 2013] Bug fixes: MAX_STACK in z06.c increased (again) to 250. Rare crash at "env = SetEnv(res, env);" given truly horrible patch. @Pie totalweight default was not inherited from @PieSetup; fixed now. @DefinitionTitleFormat, @ClaimTitleFormat, @PropositionTitleFormat, @LemmaTitleFormat, @CorollaryTitleFormat, @ExampleTitleFormat fixed. Problem with eogonek in titles (Kamil Rytarowski, Uwe) fixed. _javascript_ and Tcl languages added to prg2lout.c (Mark Summerfield). @Place symbol now available when setting setup file options. New version of @Graph with @GraphSetup symbol in setup file. Should be 100% backward compatible, if not use @SysInclude { old_graph }. New ISOB4, ISOB5, JISB4, and JISB5 paper sizes. The old B4 and B5 sizes are still available unchanged, though now deprecated. New @Diag options: outlinecolour for nodes, pathcolour for links. I've also lightly revised the User's Guide, to remove some bad line and page breaks that had crept into the A4 version. Things not done Still no move to a version control system. It just isn't worth my time. If anyone wants to take it on, you have my blessing, but be warned that the copyright of hyphenation files is a swamp. Forematter (@Preface etc.) in books. I have a suggestion from Joerg Jung about moving the @Abbreviations section into the forematter, and another from Mark Summerfield for a generic scheme (@ForeMatterA ... @ForeMatterE with user-selectable titles). Rather than do that I would prefer one @ForeMatter symbol but allow a sequence of invocations of it, like we have now for @Chapter and @Appendix. There is already an @AfterTitlePage symbol that can be used as a workaround. I'm a bit at a loss so I've decided to do nothing for now. However this could be looked at again. Some discussion might help.
