Summary description: Fully automated LaTeX document generation
Announcement text:
Fixed various anomalies in working with biber, especially under error conditions. Fixed various anomalies with use of -bibtex- and -bibtex-cond options. Fixed problem that -Werror worked only with bibtex and not biber. (This is the option that causes latexmk to return a non-zero exit code to flag an error when there are missing-citation messages in the .log file.) Added -dir-report-only option. Fixed lack of quoting on command line to kpsewhich. Implemented support for hilatex (-hnt option, $hnt_mode configuration variable). Allow sleep times of under a second. (That gives very responsive performance on fast computers.) Support ^^ format in .log file for non-ASCII bytes/characters. Document $filetime_causality_threshold configuration variable. Other documentation improvements.

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Manfred Lotz CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs .

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.
