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 +------------------------------------------- + +preview-latex is compatible with Ghostscript 9.22 where the +operator '.runandhide' is removed. All occurrences of +'.runandhide' in preview-latex are replaced by alternative code +making it work with Ghostscript 9.22 again. + +AUCTeX has a new customize option +'TeX-math-input-method-off-regexp'. When you begin to input a math +formula, the current input method is turned off if its name matches +this regular expression. + +In fact this variable was introduced long before, but has not been +documented in info files nor turned into a customize option with +'defcustom' until this release. + +The window system focus is pulled back to Emacs when viewing with +evince-compatible viewers if a new customize option +'TeX-view-evince-keep-focus' is non-nil. + +The usual dose of bug fixes was administered. + +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. + +NOTE: This will be the last release in the 11 series. Version 12 of +AUCTeX, which is due to come in a few days, will support only GNU +Emacs 24 or higher. + +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.
