Correct error handling when biber finds a malformed bcf file.
(Previously latexmk didn't automatically recover from error
situation after the source files had been corrected.)
Correct bug in use of %hash_calc_ignore_pattern
(Previously it only had its documented effect when a targetted
file hadn't changed in size.)
Fix failure to clean up correctly when root filename
contains certain special characters in it (notably '[').
[Technical issue: these characters had special meaning when
previously interpreted as metacharacters in a glob operation.]
V. 4.39 dated 10 November 2013,
with documentation update on 3 December 2013.
Automatic creation of necessary subdirectories of auxdir when
needed for writing aux files.
Add error diagnostics to if_source
Allow $print_type = 'auto', and make this the default, so that
when the -p option to latexmk is used to print the file, the
default is to determine the type of file to be printed, rather
than always requiring postscript.
Fix the failures when dealing with directories whose names
contained certain special characters in them (notably '[', ']' and
space).
[Technical issue: these characters had special meaning when
previously interpreted as metacharacters in a glob operation.]
This gives dependency on Perl's File::Glob module, which is a
standard module in normal installations of Perl.
When an output directory is a subdirectory of a directory, ensure
that it is correctly created, if it has to be created.
Previously, the creation of the output directory when it does not
exist only worked for one level.
This gives dependency on Perl's File::Path module with v. >= 2.08,
which is a standard module in normal installations of Perl.
In output of dependencies, include pathname of target file(s) in the
rule.
In -pvc mode, writing of deps file (caused by the -M and related
options) is per make not per overall run.
Correct failure that happens when name of current directory
contains characters with special meaning in regular expression.
-rules option now works with -pvc
Add -lualatex option, like -xelatex.
File specifications in $clean_ext and $clean_full_ext are allowed
to contain wildcards.
Warning is given when rc file is a directory instead of a file.
Correct bug that if revtex4-1.cls is used, footnotes are set to
be in the bibliography, and latexmk's aux_dir or out_dir is set,
then latexmk fails to run bibtex when needed, because the
relevant bib file is not found.
Corrects non-optimality that latexmk may do extra runs of
(pdf)latex when a file is read and written during a run of
(pdf)latex, but the file is only read after being written.
Improve operation under MSWindows: substitute "\" for "/" for
directory separator in command lines, deal consistently with
directory separator, which can be both "\" and "/".
Correct some bugs that interfered with use of auxiliary directory
and output directory for files generated by (pdf)latex,
especially with MiKTeX.
Fix problems caused because in the log and fls files MiKTeX writes
absolute path for many filenames at and below current directory,
and is inconsistent in its use of "/" vs. "\" as directory
separator.
Add $dvipdf_silent_switch configuration variable.
Improve handling of errors in (pdf)latex; previously latexmk would
give up processing in some situations continuing is correct.
Implement most options allowed by latex and pdflatex.
Add -M -MP and -MF options, like gcc.
Recorder option is now on by default.
Add -latexoption=... option to latexmk.
Add -xelatex option for use of xelatex.
Change OS-X default for pdf previewer command to open.
Command specification string can start with "include routine" to
invoke a Perl subroutine instead of an external cmd.
Viewers are detached by default. (The start keyword is now normally
superfluous in command specifications.)
Keyword nostart added in command specification.
Add configuration variables $compiling_cmd, $success_cmd,
$failure_cmd. These specify external commands (if any) to be
executed during latexmk's continuous preview mode at the
following points: $compiling_cmd at the start of compilation,
$success_cmd at the end of a successful compilation, and
$failure_cmd at the end of an unsuccessful compilation. They
can be used, for example, to show the progress of compilation by
setting the titles of editor and/or previewer windows.
If aux and/or output directories are specified but don't exist,
make them.
Remove excessive repetition of tests for changes of source files
(improves performance of latexmk in some situations).
Fix use of bibtex so that it works correctly when $aux_dir and/or
$out_dir are set.
Use OS-dependent search path separator when when manipulating
TEXINPUTS, etc. Then use of -output-directory and
-aux-directory options should work correctly on MSWin systems.
Documentation of $search_path_separator variable.
Correct some bugs in v. 4.30 that manifested themselves under
MSWin especially with Cygwin.
Latexmk now works with the feynmp package and mpost,
provided a suitable custom dependency is defined. (See the
example latexmkrc fragment mpost_latexmkrc in the
example_rcfiles directory in the latexmk distribution.)
If output directory is set, arrange that dvips can find files
there.
In searching for cus-deps that can make a missing file, look in
$out_dir.
Correct handling of situations where some file(s) needed by bibtex
(or biber) don't exist. Previously latexmk incorrectly stopped
with an error message instead of continuing.
Deal with problem that making of ps or pdf file via a temporary
file fails if the command making it has no %D placeholder
Add png to list of graphics extensions for pdflatex
Add -norc option that prevents auto reading of rc files.
Options -aux-directory -output-directory like those of (pdf)latex,
to set the output directories of (pdf)latex. (-aux-directory
is MiKTeX only). Corresponding configuration variables, and
placeholders for command specification.
When running biber, find locations of source files when they
aren't in the current directory (by use of kpsewhich). This was
previously done for bibtex but not biber.
Support the use of biber (with the biblatex package) as an
alternative to bibtex for generating bibliographies, with
automatic determination of whether to use bibtex or biber.
Fix problem that when bibtex finds no citations, this is treated
by bibtex as an error. Previously latexmk respected this and
did not continue processing. Now if the only bibtex error is
the finding of no citations, then latexmk now treats it as
only a warning and continues processing (by latex/pdflatex) as
appropriate.
Get .bst file in source file list for bibtex. (So an update to
the bst file provokes a rerun of the relevant programs.)
Allow clean-up to delete destination files of custom-dependencies
Configuration variable $cleanup_includes_cusdep_generated to
configure whether this is done. (Default is off, for backward
compatibility.)
Remove use of --width option on $pscmd on linux. It's no longer
needed.
Remove double quotes (if any) surrounding output filename read
from .log file, to avoid wrong diagnostic message.
Allow a more general pattern for files to clean up (when the -c,
or -C option is used). For details, see the explanation of
the $clean_ext variable in the latexmk documentation.
Options to set commands used for latex and pdflatex, as in
Deal with bug about misparsing log file with non-space-containing
filename that is followed by a space and a message on same line.
Previously, the filename would not be detected as a dependent.
With force_mode on, do a better job of completing processing.
Remove obsolete options -F and -F-, which have been unused
for a long time.
Solved a problem with misparsed log files. Some versions of
pdflatex fail to preceed some warning messages by a new line.
Thus these warning messages sometimes appear to be part of a
filename.
Updated documentation to mention previously undocumented feature
about the use of temporary files in making ps and pdf files.
Solved problem that occasionally latexmk failed to detect a
dependent file when it analyzed a .log file. (It incorrectly
treated some lines of length 79 as being wrapped.)
Corrects a long-standing bug that when the main file uses
bibtex, and uses \include for subdocuments and the set of included
files changes, latexmk did not update the list of source files for
bibtex. Then changes in bibliography citations did not always
trigger a rerun of bibtex.
Fixed a problem that latexmk did not detect changed aux files
and the like on a small document when the run of (pdf)latex was
within the 1-second granularity of filetimes.
Improved start-up times on some large documents by avoiding
unnecessary recalculations of md5 checksums.
V. 4.10d dated 10 September 2009.
Attempt to deal better with conversions reported by epstopdf, when
the converted file appears not to exist. (Do a kpsewhich search.)
When view files are make via a temporary file (not-yet-documented
feature), delete old view file before moving the temporary file.
(To avoid reported bug in kpdf and okular.)
V. 4.10b dated 4 September 2009.
The -silent option now causes certain non-existent-file messages
to be suppressed.
V. 4.10a dated 1 September 2009.
Corrects a problem that with an error introduced at v. 4.08 that
on finding an error in processing one file latexmk exits rather
than continuing processing other requested files. The exit code
returned by latexmk was also incorrect in this situation.
V. 4.09a dated 19 August 2009.
Small update to v. 4.09a, which should not affect anything.
V. 4.09 dated 18 August 2009.
Appropriate treatment of graphics files converted by current
version of epstopdf package. Plus minor bug fixes.
This version has not been tested thoroughly.
V. 4.08 dated 23 June 2009.
Corrects problem caused by MikTeX 2.7 writing log files containing
binary characters, including ctrl/Z. When latexmk reads the log
file to get dependency information, a ctrl/Z causes a premature
end-of-file condition. On MS-Win, latexmk now reads the log file in binary
mode.
V. 4.07 dated 27 May 2009.
Corrects problem that ctrl/C used to exit from preview-continuous
mode always killed any script used to call latexmk.
Deals better with situation that a run of (pdf)latex does not
produce the expected dvi or pdf file.
V. 4.04 dated 25 February 2009.
Corrects problems when latexmk is used to run both latex and
pdflatex on the same source file. The problems were particularly
noticeable when different choices were used on different runs.
V. 4.03 dated 22 December 2008.
Corrects issue in parsing the log file. Sometimes lines were
treated as wrapped when they shouldn't have been; this
occasionally resulted in latexmk not detecting source files.
V. 4.02b dated 1 December 2008.
Corrects issue with clean-up options -c and -C. They now delete
the database file of source file information.
V. 4.02a dated 26 November 2008.
Corrects problem with using start command under MSWin in default
commands for viewing files: MSWin took quoted filenames to mean
window title instead of filename.
V. 4.02 dated 15 November 2008.
Corrects problem with misreading of log files generated by current
MikTeX (v. 2.7) that puts double quotes around space-containing
filenames.
