• CTAN update: xint

    From CTAN Announcements@manfred@ctan.org to ctan-ann on Sat Sep 6 21:08:25 2025
    From Newsgroup: comp.text.tex

    Jean-Fran|oois Burnol submitted an update to the

    xint

    package.

    Version: 1.4n 2025-09-05
    License: lppl1.3c

    Summary description: Expandable arbitrary precision floating point and integer operations

    Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    rCo The xintexpr syntax now recognizes in addition to " for
    hexadecimal, the prefix ' for octal.
    - It also implements the prefixes 0x, 0o and 0b (with
    possibly a fractional part).
    - \xintiieval admits an optional parameter [h], [o], [b]
    for conversion of the integer output to hexadecimal,
    octal, or binary.
    rCo Babel active characters are auto-taming in \xinteval.

    It is now possible to use xintexpr also with OpTeX and
    ConTeXt-LMTX.

    Refer to xintchanges.md for more details. The file
    sourcexint.pdf has been removed because xint.pdf now
    contains both the user manual and the commented source
    code (i.e. it is the xint-all.pdf which could be built
    from sources in 2022 with hyperlinking back and forth
    from user manual to commented source code).
