Version 3.0 release

[rbrignall]

This is version 3.0 of OU-SUPPS. This is a major release featuring several new features and fixes. The biggest new features are:

• Enhanced support for outputting multiple different documents from a single tex file.
• Ability in outn and ouexam to output two PDFs (e.g. TN and SS) from a single compilation.*
• Support for half marks (and other fractions) in the auto-adding-up features of outn and ouexam.

*Requires --shell-escape in your command line. See the documentation for details.

ouab

1. New a-w option for checking accessibility (thanks to Chris!)
2. Settings for caption package match ouunit (thanks to Sophie!)
3. question counter can now be cross-referenced using standard \label{…} and \ref{…} commands
4. Spacing around inlineoptions when (e.g.) 1.5 spacing applied fixed up
5. Logo updated

outn

1. Settings for caption package match ouunit (thanks to Sophie!)
2. New “tn-and-ss” option to build tutor notes and specimen solutions into 2 PDFs in a single compilation
3. Enhanced commands to handle “tn” or “ss” build modes (standardised terminology, such as \tnpagebreak and \sspagebreak)
4. \sstitle{…} can be used to specify title for ss separate from tn. Also \tntitle[title of ss]{title of tn} now available.
5. fractional marks can be specified and are added up correctly; half marks are rendered as fractions
6. \mk and \mk* commands now don’t leave parameter(s) when in specsolns mode.
7. \total and \subtotal rules: these behave more reliably, and a new “movedown” keyval allows to increase/decrease space below “total” marginnote and the rule.

4. Enhanced commands to handle “qp” or “ss” build modes (E.g. \qponly{…}, \ssonly{…}, \qppagebreak, \sspagebreak)
5. \supp[code for ss]{code for qp} now takes optional parameter to enable two supp codes.
6. In solutions: fractional marks can be specified and are added up correctly; half marks are rendered as fractions
7. Bug in footer and title for specimen and specimensolutions rendering fixed
8. “solutions” environment migrated from (stale) mdframed package to tcolorbox

wontfix:

There had been a request some time ago to merge ouab and outn. However, the tex files for TMAs and TNs are, generally, stored in different places (since TNs are sensitive), so I’m not going to undertake this work.
