Latexmk: current and previous versions; special downloads

• V. 4.77 dated 17 March 2022.
  1. Correctly handle non-ASCII filenames, UTF-8 coding of log files etc, including on MS Windows.
  2. Better treatment of wrapped lines in log files, so dependency information is correctly extracted, especially when filenames contain non-ASCII characters.
  3. Reinstate Windows batch file for running latexmk, now called latexmk.cmd.
  4. Internal improvements, bug fixes, improvement of warnings.
  5. Improved systematics on choice of STDOUT and STDERR for messages, matching the use that *tex programs make of them.
  This version is on CTAN at http://ctan.org/pkg/latexmk/.
• V. 4.76 dated 20 November 2021.
  1. In fdb_latexmk file, sort generated file list by name.
  2. If nothing is done in a rerun, don't do the unnecessary rewrite of fdb_latexmk file.
  3. Improve some diagnostics.
  4. Add /etc to list of locations for system rc files (with Unix-like OSs).
• V. 4.75 dated 21 September 2021.
  1. For biber, add dependency on any configuration file that is read.
  2. When -time option used, report running times for all rules
  1. When emulating aux_dir, put .synctex.gz .synctex files in out_dir (as done by MiKTeX, and needed for their use).
  2. Turn emulate aux_dir off by default, to match behavior on older versions of latexmk (BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE with 4.73 and 4.74.)
  3. Add end-of-all-runs warning if emulate aux_dir needed to be turned on, when it was initially off.
  4. Add .synctex and .synctex.gz to list of extensions to clear by default.
  5. Turn back on default to report rc files read.
  6. Add options -rc-report, -rc-report-, -dir_report, -dir_report-.
• V. 4.74 dated 16 May 2021.
  1. Correct treatment of aux_dir and out_dir to avoid bugs that appeared on MS-Windows only.
  2. Remove some informational messages (about rc files, and the state of aux and dir settings after normalization).
• V. 4.73 dated 3 May 2021.
  1. Correct slowness in parsing some log files.
  2. Provide emulation of -aux-directory, so that it can be used with implementation other than MiKTeX. (At the moment the only documentation of this feature is given by latexmk --help.)
• V. 4.72b dated 15 Apr. 2021.
  1. For bibtex, revert to change-directory default when running bibtex.
  2. Add similar procedure for makeindex, but leave old default.
  3. Add options -indexfudge, -indexfudge-, -noindexfudge.
  4. Solve bug that transition from non-existent file to existent file didn't trigger rerun of *latex. (This concerns files that were flagged as missing in the .log file.)
  5. Give .latexmkrc priority of latexmkrc in finding rc files.
  6. Correct bug when chapterbib used with non-trivial out or aux dir.
  7. Improve handling of situation when auxdir or outdir are specified as absolute paths.
  8. Miscellaneous bug corrections.
• V. 4.70b dated 29 Sep. 2020.
  1. Fix problems when rearranging rules to deal with change of output file of *latex engine (e.g., .pdf to .dvi). (Previously latexmk would sometimes give a warning of a possible bug.)
  2. Fix problem with the new default not to do the change of directory for bibtex. Use of full path names for output-directory or tex file no longer causes a bibtex error.
  3. Add options -bibfudge, -bibfudge-, -nobibfudge.
