Version: 2026-03-27
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Class for DIN 5008 type-B business letters for use with
onlinebrief24.de
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This release adds extensibility features, improves code quality,
and expands documentation and test coverage.
New commands:
- \addfooteritem{icon}{text} appends custom items to the modern-mode
footer (fontawesome5 icon + label, separated by the standard
vertical bar)
- \addinfoblockrow{label}{value} appends custom rows to the DIN-style
information block (empty values are silently omitted)
- \setinfoblocktopoffset, \setinfoblockrightedge, \setinfoblockcolwidths
allow tuning the information-block position and column widths
from the document preamble without editing the class file
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug where empty lines between localized label blocks
could cause unwanted \par tokens during class loading
- Replaced non-ASCII characters in comments and guides labels
with ASCII-safe variants for improved robustness across
all TeX engines
Internationalization:
- Expanded localized infoblock labels: now fully supports and
verifies german, english, french, spanish, italian, dutch,
and polish
- Dedicated ngerman infoblock label duplicates dropped; the
German labels now serve as the shared fallback for both
German variants
Internal improvements:
- Return-address font size centralised as named macros to
eliminate duplication
- DIN 5008 window coordinates extracted as named macros for
maintainability
- KOMA-Script internal macros used in \opening are now fully
documented with rationale and risk/mitigation notes
Documentation:
- New Guides Mode section explaining the DIN 5008 zone overlay
- New Extensibility section covering \addfooteritem,
\addinfoblockrow, and the layout-tuning API
