News in 11.88
* TeX-PDF-mode is now enabled by default.
* Now TeX-previous-error works with TeX commands if the new option
TeX-parse-all-errors is non-nil, which is the default. When this option is
non-nil, an overview of errors and warnings reported by the TeX compiler
can be opened with M-x TeX-error-overview <RET>. See Debugging, for
details.
* Style file authors are encouraged to distinguish common from expert macros
and environments, and mark the latter using TeX-declare-expert-macros and
LaTeX-declare-expert-environments.
Users can then restrict completion using TeX-complete-expert-commands.
* Management of LaTeX package options in the parser was improved. You might
need to reparse your documents, especially if you loaded the ?babel?
package with language options.
* Now you can insert ?$...$? or ?\(...\)? by typing a single $. To do this,
customize the new option ?TeX-electric-math?. TeX-math-close-double-dollar
was removed. See Quotes, for details.
* C-c <RET> documentclass <RET> completes with all available LaTeX classes,
if the TeX-arg-input-file-search variable is non-nil. Completion for class
options of the standard LaTeX classes is provided as well.
* New user options LaTeX-default-author, LaTeX-fontspec-arg-font-search,
LaTeX-fontspec-font-list-default, TeX-date-format, and
TeX-insert-braces-alist. A new possible value (show-all-optional-args) for
TeX-insert-macro-default-style was added. The default value of
TeX-source-correlate-method has been changed.
* ?biblatex? support was greatly expanded. If parsing is enabled, AUCTeX
looks at ?backend? option to decide whether to use Biber or BibTeX. The
LaTeX-biblatex-use-Biber variable was changed to be file local only and is
no more customizable.
* With some LaTeX classes, the default environment suggested by
LaTeX-environment (C-c C-e) when the current environment is ?document? was
changed. With ?beamer? class the default environment is ?frame?, with
?letter? it is ?letter?, with ?slides? it is ?slide?.
* Brace pairing feature was enhanced in LaTeX documents. Support for ?\bigl?,
?\Bigl?, ?\biggl? and ?\Biggl?, the same as the one for ?\left?, was added
to TeX-insert-macro. For example, C-c <RET> bigl <RET> ( <RET> inserts ?\
bigl(\bigr)?.
You can insert brace pair ?()?, ?{}? and ?[]? by typing a single left brace
if the new user option LaTeX-electric-left-right-brace is enabled.
Macros ?\langle?, ?\lfloor? and ?\lceil?, which produce the left part of
the paired braces, are treated similarly as ?(?, ?{? and ?[? during the
course of TeX-insert-macro. See Quotes, for details.
* Support for dozens of LaTeX packages was added.
* Tabular-like environments (tabular, tabular*, tabularx, tabulary, array,
align, ...) are indented in a nicer and more informative way when the
column values of a table line are written across multiple lines in the tex
file.
* The suitable number of ampersands are inserted when you insert array,
tabular and tabular* environments with C-c C-e. Similar experience is
obtained if you terminate rows in these environments with C-c <LFD>. It
supplies line break macro ?\\? and inserts the suitable number of
ampersands on the next line.
Similar supports are provided for various amsmath environments.
See Tabular-like, for details.
* Commands for narrowing to a group (TeX-narrow-to-group) and to LaTeX
environments (LaTeX-narrow-to-environment) were added.
* Now arbitrary options can be passed to the TeX processor on a per file
basis using the TeX-command-extra-options option. See Processor Options,
for details.
* Now C-c C-e document <RET>, in an empty document, prompts for ?\usepackage?
macros in addition to ?\documentclass?.
* TeX-add-style-hook has now a third argument to tell AUCTeX for which
dialect (LaTeX, Texinfo or BibTeX) the style hook is registers. Labelling
style hook by dialect will avoid applying them not in the right context.
* There have been lots of bug fixes and feature additions.
