John Collins submitted an update to the

latexmk

package.

Summary description: Fully automated LaTeX document generation

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
=20
1. Some corrections to documentation, notably for $dvipdf and =
$dvips_pdf_switch.
2. Improve some messages.
3. Miscellaneous bug corrections.
4. Use clock time for timing reports on cygwin and msys, and not just =
Windows.
5. On Linux, default command for starting previewers is xdg-open.
6. Add lualatex-related item to @file_not_found patterns.
7. Add -cc (continuous compile) option, equiv. to -pvc -view=3Dnone.
8. For msys, make better setting for @rc_system_files.
9. Avoid unnecessary extra run(s) of lualatex after font cache is =
updated.
10. On Windows, change default for $dvipdf so that -dvipdf works on =
Windows.
11. Prevent loss of memory of state of custom dependencies that =
occured
after a run of *latex that ended early because of an error: When =
custom
dependencies were applied to files generated during a run of =
*latex,
the memory loss would result in much excessive invocation of =
custom
dependencies.
12. Update nomenclature_latexmkrc.
13. Prevent loss of memory of state of cus_deps and their uses after a =
run of
*latex that gives an error. Previously, after a run is aborted =
early
because of a syntax error (etc) and a second run is done after =
file(s)
are corrected, sometimes the loss of memory would cause =
unnecessary (and
sometimes very time consuming) extra runs of cus_deps.
14. Correct statement of -bibtex* default in on-line help.
