• Removed now-obsolete LaTeX option variables; these have been replaced by explicit LaTeX options embedded within the XML document itself.

• Added explicit GNU cp, as the --update flag is useful for only copying files when needed.

• 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.

• Added a PDF to PDF (rename) rule. (Surprised we never had one before now!)

• Added conditionals to enable building of PDF from LaTeX using XeLaTeX.

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

• Fixed bug with whitespace in LATEX_OPTS variable that caused LaTeX to ignore the options entirely.

• Switched to using \def instead of \newcommand for pre-\begin{document} definitions, as it seems safer.

• Fixed stupid bug that caused custom LaTeX options to be ignored.

• Changed the way that LaTeX document class options are handled.

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

• Removed redundant global hyperref options (moved into hypersetup in lecturecommon.sty or individual class files where it’s safer). ...

• Restructured the ifdefs so as to construct a valid options list.

• Restored --export-text-to-path to Inkscape options for PDF output to eliminate aliasing.

Added zip, unzip and git.

Removed now obsolete CVS substitutions.

Added support for Sass → CSS.

Updated ignored files.

Fixed file permissions.

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

files in the deployment directory are uploaded too.

- Corrected paper-period argument to period-code.

- 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.

- Added basename to miscellaneous utilities.

- 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.

- Updated debug target with new variables.

- Fixed typo.

- Switched to new deployment scheme using shared folder.
