Combined with packages like RefTeX, flyspell and +others it is pretty much without peer as a comprehensive authoring +solution for a large variety of operating system platforms and TeX +distributions. It supports document-dependent completion and syntax +highlighting, easily accessible menus, jumping to error locations in +the source file, a number of editing shortcuts, intelligent +indentation and filling of text during entry, and WYSIWYG previews of +graphical elements like math formulas right in the Emacs source +buffer, by virtue of its preview-latex component. + +One part of the preview-latex subsystem is the central `preview.sty' +file that is independently useful for a number of applications and is +available in unbundled form from CTAN.[1] + +AUCTeX needs volunteers in particular for non-programming tasks: +documentation writing, tutorials, translations, reference material, +sleuth work, testing. + +New features and fixed bugs in this release +------------------------------------------- + +In addition to the completion performed by 'TeX-complete-symbol', +AUCTeX now also supports the new Emacs standard completion-at-point +facility (see the Emacs command 'completion-at-point'). This also +means that modern completion UIs like company-mode work out of the +box in TeX and LaTeX buffers. + +Completion is now aware of being inside a math environment and then +completes math macros. + +AUCTeX is able to display several levels of super- and subscripts, +each one raised above and a bit smaller than its basis. For this +feature, have a look at the customize options +'font-latex-fontify-script' (especially the new values 'multi-level' +and 'invisible') and 'font-latex-fontify-script-max-level'. Also, the +script characters '^' and '_' are also fontified with a special face +named 'font-latex-script-char-face'. + +Parsing of format specification in various tabular environments has +been improved. The function 'LaTeX-insert-item' ('C-c ') inserts +suitable number of ampersands for '*{num}{cols}' constructs. Style +files for LaTeX packages 'tabularx', 'tabulary', 'longtable', +'dcolumn' and 'siunitx' are adapted to take advantage of this +improvement. + +AUCTeX has a new Ispell dictionary 'tex-ispell.el' for macros and +environments which will be skipped during spell checking. The +activiation of this feature is controlled by a new customize option +'TeX-ispell-extend-skip-list', which is set to 't' and activated by +default. + +AUCTeX has a new customize option 'TeX-raise-frame-function' that is +currently only used by Evince and Atril inverse search to raise the +Emacs frame. + +When inserting a new float, AUCTeX will now prompt for a short-caption +if the length of the caption provided is greater than a certain size. +This size is controlled via a new user option +'LaTeX-short-caption-prompt-length'. + +Parsing of the compilation log has been reworked. You should +encounter fewer mistaken files while navigating through errors and +warnings. + +Two new user options, 'TeX-ignore-warnings' and +'TeX-suppress-ignored-warnings', allow ignoring certain warnings +after compilation of the document. + +A new option, 'TeX-PDF-from-DVI', controls if and how to produce a PDF +file by converting a DVI file. This supersedes +'TeX-PDF-via-dvips-ps2pdf' which is still recognized but marked as +obsolete and may be removed in future releases. + +Support for a number of external viewers has been added: + * Atril viewer. Forward and inverse search requires version + 1.9.1 or later to work. + + * dviout viewer on Windows. Note that this setup works when + 'TeX-source-correlate-method' is set to use 'source-specials' + for DVI, e.g.: + (setq TeX-source-correlate-method + '((dvi . source-specials) + (pdf . synctex))) + which is the default. + + * SumatraPDF viewer on Windows. + + * Zathura viewer. Forward and inverse search requires a recent + version of the program to work (3.4 or later). + +A new function, 'TeX-documentation-texdoc', for reading +documentation with 'texdoc' has been added. 'TeX-doc' is still +available but now 'C-c ?' runs 'TeX-documentation-texdoc'. + +AUCTeX has a new custom option +'LaTeX-reftex-cite-format-auto-activate' which controls the automatic +activation of citation formats provided by RefTeX when a style file is +loaded and RefTeX is enabled. Currently, 'biblatex.el', 'harvard.el', +'jurabib.el' and 'natbib.el' use this feature. If you have customized +'reftex-cite-format' and want to use your settings, you should set +this variable to 'nil'. + +AUCTeX now has limited support for the TikZ package. For the moment, +this includes some basic support for prompting the user of arguments +to the '\draw' macro. + +The style 'graphicx.el' went through a bigger overhaul. The optional +argument of command '\includegraphics' now supports key-val query; +keys can independently be chosen anytime by pressing the <,> key. As +a side effect, the variable 'LaTeX-includegraphics-options-alist' is +now no-op and is removed from 'tex-style.el'. You can safely remove +any customization of it from your init file. The mandatory argument +of '\includegraphics' knows about image file extensions supported by +the used engine and offers them for inclusion. + +Support for other LaTeX packages was improved, and style files for +several new packages were added. + +Many bugs were crushed along the way. + +Requirements +------------ + +It is required that you use at least GNU Emacs 21 or XEmacs 21.4. +XEmacs requires at least version 1.84 of the xemacs-base package +(released on 01/27/2004) or a sumo tarball dated 02/02/2004 or newer +for compiling AUCTeX: please use the XEmacs package system for +upgrading if necessary. + +The preview-latex subsystem requires image support. This is available +with GNU Emacs 21.3 under the X window system. For Windows[2], Mac OS +X (Carbon, Cocoa)[3] or native GTK+ toolkit support, at least version +22.1 of GNU Emacs is required. Emacs 22 and later is the recommended +platform for AUCTeX in general. If you prefer XEmacs, it will work in +version 21.4.10 or later. + +You'll also need a working LaTeX installation and Ghostscript. +dvipng[4] (version 1.4 or later), a very fast DVI converter, can be +used to speed up the conversion. + +Availability +------------ + +The easiest way for getting AUCTeX, for users running Emacs 24.1 or +higher, is installing it with GNU ELPA, see + for more information. +Other download options are available at +. At release time, we provide the +source tarball, and a platform-independent XEmacs package file (which +you have to install yourself using XEmacs' own package system, after +using it for removing the previous version of AUCTeX). You can also +use versions of Emacs that already include AUCTeX or a software +package management system for your operating system which provides you +with the latest release. + +The XEmacs package file can be discerned by `pkg' in its name. It is +usually more recent than what gets distributed from XEmacs servers and +as part of the Sumo tarball. + +A separate directory for each release contains some stuff from the +tarball, such as ChangeLog, printable manuals, and a reference sheet. +The download area is mirrored to the directory support/auctex on CTAN. +AUCTeX is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3. + +You'll find more information at the web site of AUCTeX +, including its mailing list +addresses. + +Future development and additional information +--------------------------------------------- + +AUCTeX is proceeding as a GNU project with the long-term intent of +merging it into Emacs. For that reason, all new contributors need to +assign copyright to their contributions to the FSF (the usual +procedure for Emacs contributors). The same holds for past +contributors. The principal authors and maintainers have already done +so, but it would require a diligent and diplomatic volunteer to find +and ask the rest. + +Current AUCTeX managers are Arash Esbati, Mosè Giordano, and Tassilo +Horn. Everybody is welcome to contribute to the project by reporting +bugs and suggesting improvements, but the most effective way of +helping AUCTeX development remains volunteering for tasks. + +The following people contributed to this release series (in +alphabetical order): Ivan Andrus, Ralf Angeli, Masayuki Ataka, Fabrice +Ben Hamouda, Thomas Baumann, Vincent Belaïche, Berend de Boer, Uwe +Brauer, Ken Brown, Joshua Buhl, Patrice Dumas, Arash Esbati, Werner +Fink, Miguel Frasson, Peter S.
