1. Fix problems when rearranging rules to deal with change of output file of *latex engine (e.g., .pdf to .dvi). (Previously latexmk would sometimes give a warning of a possible bug.) 2. Fix problem with the new default not to do the change of directory for bibtex. Use of full path names for output- directory or tex file no longer causes a bibtex error. 3.

LaTeXmk – Fully automated LaTeX document generation
Latexmk completely automates the process of generating a LaTeX document. Given the source files for a document, latexmk issues the appropriate sequence of commands to generate a .dvi, .ps, .pdf or hardcopy version of the document.
An important feature is the preview continuous
mode
, where the script watches all of the source files
(primary file and included TeX and graphics files), and reruns
LaTeX, etc., whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer
can offer a display of the document’s latest state.
