Mar 1, 2026

March 2026 monthly performance for cplusplus/draft focused on reliability, API clarity, and cross-version compatibility. Delivered a LaTeX document refinement feature that introduces cross-reference commands \tref and \fref while removing the brittle \enlargethispage usage, improving document reliability across package versions. Fixed documentation handling by correcting the logical condition to reflect the intended error-handling behavior, reducing ambiguity for users. Cleaned up the API namespace by renaming the ambiguous 'completion-tag' to 'completion-fn-tag', and reordered definitions to ensure references are defined before use, reducing naming conflicts and improving maintainability. These changes collectively reduce maintenance overhead, minimize regressions, and strengthen downstream integration with diverse LaTeX workflows.
