This package (once part of the exsheets package), provides a
framework for providing multilingual features to a LaTeX
package. The package has its own basic dictionaries for
English, Dutch, French, German and Spanish; it aims to use
translation material for English, Dutch, French, German,
Italian, Spanish, Catalan, Turkish, Croatian, Hungarian, Danish
and Portuguese from babel or polyglossia if either is in use in
the document. (Additional languages from the multilingual
packages may be possible: ask the author.)
The package allows the user to filter out unwanted warnings and
error messages issued by LaTeX, packages and classes, so they
won't pop out when there's nothing one can do about them.
Filtering goes from the very broad ("avoid all messages by such
and such") to the fine-grained ("avoid messages that begin
with..."). Messages may be saved to an external file for later
reference.
There are a number of symbols (e.g., \Square) that are defined
by several packages. In order to typeset all the variants in a
document, we have to give the glyph a unique name. To do that,
we define \savesymbol{XXX}, which renames a symbol from \XXX to
\origXXX, and \restoresymbols{yyy}{XXX}, which renames \origXXX
back to \XXX and defines a new command, \yyyXXX, which
corresponds to the most recently loaded version of \XXX.
As an alternative to the LaTeX standard environments quotation
and quote, the package provides a consolidated environment for
displayed text. First-line indentation may be activated by
adding a blank line before the quoting environment. A key-value
interface (using kvoptions) allows the user to configure font
properties and spacing and to control orphans within and after
the environment.
The dashrule package makes it easy to draw a huge variety of
dashed rules (i.e., lines) in LaTeX. dashrule provides a
command, \hdashrule, which is a cross between LaTeX's \rule and
PostScript's setdash command. \hdashrule draws horizontally
dashed rules using the same syntax as \rule, but with an
additional, setdash-like parameter that specifies the pattern
of dash segments and the space between those segments. Because
dashrule's rules are constructed internally using \rule (as
opposed to, e.g., PostScript \specials) they are fully
compatible with every LaTeX back-end processor.

libspectre 0.2.9 (06 May 2020)
===============================
This is another bugfix only release in the libspectre's 0.2 series.
Fixed lots of crashes, memory leaks with malformed
documents (Albert Astals Cid, Randy)
Ghostscript 9.24 is now required (Christian Persch)
Hide internal symbols (Christian Persch)
Added "(libspectre)" to the error messages to be clear where the
messages come from (Caolán McNamara)
Fixed clang warnings (Albert Astals Cid)
The intention with this change is to make it easier to enable CUPS support
by default in places, without requiring the daemon (which might conflict
with other printing setups).
Bump cups-base PKGREVISION and make it depend on libcups.
Patchlevel 7b (Oct 2019)
NEW FEATURES:
o A X color database is not needed, but can be provided. The location of
the database can be given at compile time, default /etc/X11/rgb.txt.
BUGS FIXED:
Ticket numbers refer to https://sourceforge.net/p/mcj/tickets/#.
Debian bug numbers refer to https://bugs.debian.org/#.
o Do not clip objects with line-thickness 0 having arrows. Ticket #53.
o Do not segfault on circle/half circle arrowheads with a magnification
larger 42. Always draw circle arrowheads with 40 points. Ticket #52.
o Allow circles or ellipses with negative radii. Ticket #49.
o Avoid "dimension too large error" with tikz output by avoiding
coordinate values smaller than -16383.
o Make tests (test1.c) work with -fsanitize=address compiler option.
o Obey join-style of lines in tikz output.
o Pass utf8-strings to svg output, escape some chars (<>&).
o Accept inclined boxes and change them to polygons. Fixes ticket #43.
o Make tests #27 and #33 work on Mac Darwin, failed due to whitespace
formatting differences. From Hanspeter Niederstrasser. Ticket #40.
o Use only latex, neither etex or tex, to test tikz output. Usage of
etex, after hint from Roland Rosenfeld, closed debian bug 920368.
o For tikz output, do not draw arrows on a single point line.
o Omit spurious showpage when including jpg-file. From Rainer Buchty.
o Correct a few memory leaks and corruptions. See commit d1c54f6.
o Change negative color numbers to default color. Fixes ticket #30.
o A spline with one point would cause segfault. Fixed, see ticket #29.
o Allow one char without newline in the last line of an input file.
Fixes ticket #28.
o Harden input, mainly against files in which an incomplete object would
be created and freeing the object would violate memory, i.e, it may
cause segfault. See, e.g., ticket #27.
o Properly initalize line storage when reading fig files version 1.3.
Would segfault when reading incomplete line and trying to free it.
Fixes ticket #26, debian bug 906743.
o Silently ignore the hundred-first and more comment lines. This
fixes ticket #25 and debian bug 906740.
o Use SetFigFont, not SetFigFontNFSS in pictex output. Fixes
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transfig/+bug/1359485 .
o Accept blanks in color names (e.g., fig2dev -L eps -g"Misty Rose"..).
o Correct typos in man-pages, debian 30_man_typo.patch.
-------------------------------------
Patchlevel 7a (May 2018)
NEW FEATURES:
o Add option -w, wrap (create stand-alone perl file) for Perl/Tk output.
o Distribute the X bitmaps files within fig2dev, no need to install
these files. The files were needed for Tk and Perl/Tk output.
BUGS FIXED:
Ticket numbers refer to https://sourceforge.net/p/mcj/tickets/#.
o Fix regression whereupon flipped ellipses were not read. Ticket #23.
o Distribute i18n files ru_RU.CP1251.ps and uk_UA.KOI8-U.ps.
o Make test "survive debian bug #890016" succeed on 32 bit systems.

o Sanitize input. Do not segfault on malformed input files. Fixes debian
bugs 881143, 881144, 881396, 890015, 890016, 882021 and also 882022.
o Do not put an %%Orientation: comment into PostScript output. Some
viewers would rotate the resulting file, others not.

_setmode() on Windows. Ticket #17. Also, avoid alloca(). Ticket #16.
o tikz output: Omit the semicolon after \pgftext[..]{...};.
o Define PostScript patterns with larger tiles, may render better. #13
o Fix build in case libXpm is missing. Ticket #15.
o Use netpbm programs instead of ghostscript, to produce smaller files.
o Correctly embed eps files with binary preview (epsi, typically
found on Microsoft systems). Also, allow to embed ps-files. Fixes
debian bug 248807, ticket #8.
o For compilation, do not depend on PATH_MAX being defined.
texconfig has moved from tex-tetex to tex-texlive-scripts-extra, but
currently its usage to configure the papersize for various commands isn't
actually working so for the time being just comment it out.
This package was using "texconfig dvips paper ${LOWER_PAPERSIZE}" to
set the default papersize for dvips. It seems that texconfig has been
broken for this option at least for some time so was a noop.
Disable at this time to remove a circular dependency.
Needs to be revisited.
