Liam Huang submitted an update to the
CTeX
bundle.
Version: 2.6.0 2026-06-23
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: LaTeX classes and packages for Chinese typesetting
Announcement text:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ctex v2.6.0 is a major release that synchronises the bundle with
recent LaTeX2e and expl3 baselines and addresses long-standing
issues across heading, font, and engine-adaptation subsystems.
NEW FEATURES
* New experimental option experiment/font-size-system selecting
between word, letterpress (was traditional) and user-defined
Chinese font-size tables (#543, #813).
* Document clarifies that "letterpress" denotes one specific
metal-type font-size system rather than the only traditional
one (#871).
* pdfLaTeX with UTF-8 input now prefers the
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter definition for four-byte UTF-8
characters (#815).
* Document fonts unified to the Noto CJK family (#686).
BUG FIXES
* hyperref driverfallback is now handled per loading state to
avoid duplicate-setting warnings (#715).
* The \verb / \do@noligs xkanjiskip leak under upLaTeX is fixed
by porting the lltjcore patch (#556).
* pifont's interchartokenstate no longer leaks into the output
routine via a vertical-mode page break (#688).
* Heading documentation explains the interaction between the
runin and aftertitle options (#574).
* Fixed corrupt argument signature \@@_char_auxi:NNNN
(was NNN).
* CJKpunct override of CJKglue in the preamble now works for all
engines via the engine-deferred redefinition pattern (#761).
BREAKING CHANGES
* \newCJKfontfamily defines its font-switching command locally
instead of globally (#751/PR #773), aligning with
\newcommand semantics inside groups.
* Removed compatibility shims for LaTeX2e older than 2020/10/01
(#746).
* Minimum LaTeX3 (expl3) baseline raised to 2025/10/09.
DEPRECATIONS
* Replaced deprecated _tl keys with \l_keys_key_str and
\l_keys_choice_str (#806).
* Replaced deprecated \char_to_utfviii_bytes:n.
Full ChangeLog (per \changes{v2.6.0} entries) is in the package
documentation.
