Added “handout” as a target alias for “combined”

Added FONT_SIZE & PAPER_SIZE to debug target

FONT_SIZE now defaults to empty (⇒ 11pt in beamer)

Used DRAFT, FONT_SIZE, & PAPER_SIZE in options

Added synctex output to TIDY_FILES

Added hack for LaTeX VS Code extension

Added -synctex=1 to default LaTeX options

• Moved commonly-used LaTeX flags into central infrastructure.

• Set up global, self-deleting temporary directory to use in situations where tools can’t be pipelined together (closes #5). ...

• Added mktemp command to configuration to support the above.

• Redesigned how lecture file base names are constructed, to make it easier to include lecture numbers in the output file names. ...

• Added support for new DOC_NUM (replaces CHAPTER) and DOC_TYPE variables.
• Added missing defaults for various LaTeX options.
• Added support for new LATEX_FLAGS variable.

• Added COMBI_IMAGES and COMBI_FILES to debug output.

• Added *.vrb and _minted* to TIDY_FILES.

• Changed tidy and clean rules to use rm -rf so that we can include temporary directories.

• Added standard variables PAPER_INCLUDE_PATH and LATEX_INIT_FILE and rewrote all LaTeX-generating XSLT calls to use these. ...

• Revised passing of XSLT parameters to remove arbitrary limit on number of parameters.
• Synced up debug variables across different make include files.
• Fixed some raw calls to various commands.

• Ensured that all notes targets are dependent on figures (if present).

• Switched to rsync for deploying files, as I started getting “fchmod” errors when using cp to copy to the SMB share. Not sure why it used to work before, as it appears to be a consequence of the remote file system not supporting Unix-style file permissions. (Not due to different versions of SMB, as it was working with the same version one day, then not the next, and there were no intervening updates. Weird)

• Ensured that IMGDIR can be overridden. ...

• Added IMGDIR to debug output.

• Added use of lockfile to ensure that there aren’t multiple copies of sitecopy trying to write to the site state file at once. I’m not convinced that this is actually necessary as there should only ever be one instance running at a time, but corruption of the site state file seems to be more common than it should be. We can always remove it again if it doesn’t help.

• Fixed default font size for lectures (should be 11pt, not 12pt).

• Added formal Unicode support to lecture rules, and to lecture and miscellaneous templates.

Removed now obsolete CVS substitutions.

Fixed file permissions.

- Added an initial sitecopy --update --keep-going to ensure that standalone ...

files in the deployment directory are uploaded too.

- Added a sitecopy --catchup before deployment to synchronise with changes by ...

other users (hopefully!).

- Fixed a subtle bug that forced files in subdirectories to always be deployed.

- Argh, forgot to change the name of the NOSYNC variable!

- Changed "Installing" to "Deploying".

- Added NOSYNC switch to disable Blackboard synchronisation as necessary.

- Corrected deployment message.

- Switched to new deployment approach (shared folder on server).
