- jordigh 12y agoReally? What evidence do you have for that? This thing has been promised for decades now, since the early 1990s.
- fantispug 12y agoEvidence that it's trying to improve LaTeX macro programming? It's in the documentation. Evidence that it will be released any time this century? I have none of that. It looks like the last commit to the SVN was in January.
- patrickg 12y agoI know some of the latex3 people, and I know they are working on it. It is not a frontend code (for example such thing as \tableofcontents), but currently purely backend stuff. A lot of latex2e packages are using latex3 in the background (for example fontspec).
