v0.5.0

v0.5.0 (2024-12-03)

Changed

• The support for running headers in \printpostnotes, which previously
  generated its data by means of an internal cross-reference structure, has
  migrated to use the generalized mark mechanism provided by the ltmarks
  kernel module instead. This was a long due change, since ltmarks is the
  right tool for the task, but unfortunately was not available when
  postnotes was originally developed and released. In practice, we get
  improved functionality replacing what was a complicated cross-reference
  setup with a straightforward application of ltmarks. Very neat, if I may
  say so. Hat tip to ltmarks devs.

Deprecated

• The header support variables \pnhdpagefirst, \pnhdpagelast,
  \pnhdchapfirst, \pnhdchaplast, \pnhdsectfirst, \pnhdsectlast,
  \pnhdnamefirst, and \pnhdnamelast are deprecated in favor of the new
  ltmarks based mark classes.
  • For the sake of stability, the package still provides a "legacy" version
    of these variables, set using ltmarks data. This is meant to provide
    a window of opportunity for users to migrate to the new system smoothly,
    but migrate you must, since these variables will be removed in the
    future. Migrating should range somewhere between "very easy" and
    "trivial", and intervention is only needed if you used any of these
    variables to build custom headers. See the User manual for updated
    examples.
  • Also note that this "legacy version" of the variables require one more
    compilation run to converge, so there's also a clear benefit for you to
    adjust sooner rather than later.
