Snapshot of SVN 5421 ==================== - Change in treatment of juxtaposition in l3fp: now simply inserts "*" and thus has same precedence as explicit "*" or "/" (this is a breaking change as discussed previously) - Produce 'string-like' output as standard in l3regex replacements: "\ " in replacement text has catcode 10 - New single l3str module in kernel for 'stable' \str_... functions - New \str_fold_case:n function for Unicode (UTF-8) case folding - Functions moved to 'stable' status: \clist_const:Nn, \<thing>_item:Nn, \clist_set_from_seq:NN, \seq_set_from_clist:NN, \seq_reverse:N - New \dim_to_decimal:n and related function to replace experimental \dim_strip_pt:n, etc. - New experimental expandable Unicode case changing functions \tl_lower_case:n, \tl_upper_case:n, \tl_mixed_case:n. - New experimental \box_resize_to_ht:Nn and \box_resize_to_wd_and_ht:Nn as per user request - Bug fix for "\c{...}" construct in l3regex - Bug fix for logarithms in l3fp

l3experimental – Experimental LaTeX3 concepts
The l3experimental packages are a collection of experimental implementations for aspects of the LaTeX3 kernel, dealing with higher-level ideas such as the Designer Interface. Some of them work as stand alone packages, providing new functionality, and can be used on top of LaTeX2ε with no changes to the existing kernel.
The present release includes:
- l3benchmark for measuring the time taken by TeX to run certain code;
- l3draw, a code-level interface for constructing drawings;
- l3graphics, an interfaces for the inclusion of graphics files;
- l3opacity, support for opacity in PDF output;
- l3str, support for string manipulation;
- xcoffins, which allows the alignment of boxes using a series of ‘handle’ positions, supplementing the simple TeX reference point;
- xgalley, which controls boxes receiving text for typesetting.
