12 Commits • 1 Features
Jul 1, 2025July 2025 (latex3/latex2e) focused on delivering robust LaTeX tagging and document metadata capabilities and tightening test coverage to prevent regressions as PDF workflows evolve. Key deliveries include large-scale tagging integration, always-load tagging code, and the introduction of NeedsDocumentMetadata with improved metadata handling and targeted robustness/test updates (including label handling and SetKeys syntax). Major testing efforts aligned with PDF minor version changes (5→7) and Luatex test coverage to ensure current tagging/metadata behavior is accurately exercised. Incremental bug fixes improved output quality (suppressing ltx@label) and test stability across the suite. Overall, these workstreams reduce downstream build failures, improve document discoverability and reliability, and position the project for broader tagging-driven features. Technologies/skills demonstrated include LaTeX3 tagging architecture, metadata modeling, test-driven development, cross-repo coordination for tagging/tests, and maintainable commit-driven changes.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly summary for latex3/latex2e focused on enhancing PDF tagging workflows and metadata handling. Delivered user-facing tagging activation improvements, improved compatibility, and corrected metadata handling to ensure accurate versioning. Implemented new DocumentMetadata keys 'tagging' and 'tagging-setup' to simplify tagging activation, and updated documentation and tests accordingly (commit 1951683f6ce4d0121b4cccc79316928c383ec41b). Resolved tagging compatibility and error reporting issues (issue 808) by removing an outdated hook and correcting spacing errors in title/author fields, improving stability across related components (commit ae0130767c7401d953fd76acc56c77553dd4bddc). Fixed PDF metadata modification date handling by switching to system timestamps and propagating this change to version/date metadata across LaTeX sources (commit 1d0517d1547640f05e4a207ca6a56bfdb5f53dfa).
