João M. Lourenço submitted an update to the
stocksize
package.
Version: 2.0.1 2026-01-01

Summary description: A flexible and easy interface to paper (stock) dimensions
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.0.1 fixes the date and version number in the documentation.
Version 2.0.0 introduces a major rewrite of the `stocksize` package.
The update fundamentally changes the implementation to provide a more
robust and reliable mechanism for managing nested page size changes.
The key changes are:
- Stack-Aware Geometry: Instead of a custom implementation, the
package now patches `geometry`’s internal `\newgeometry` and
`\restoregeometry` commands, making them operate as a true
LIFO stack. This ensures that nested layout changes can be
reliably restored in the correct order.
- Automatic Physical Size Sync: The physical PDF page dimensions
(e.g., `\pdfpagewidth`) are now automatically synchronized with
the logical layout (`\paperwidth`) whenever the geometry is
altered with the `\newstocksize{}` command.
- New `patch-geometry` Option: A package option `[patch-geometry]`
has been added to automatically synchronize the physical PDF page
dimensions (e.g., `\pdfpagewidth`) and logical layout (`\paperwidth`)
whenever the geometry is altered with the `\newgeometry{}` command.
