## expltools 2025-11-24
### explcheck v0.16.0
#### Development
This version of explcheck has implemented the following new features:
- Support specifying cut-off dates for deprecations from the file
`l3obsolete.txt` and prefixes from the file `l3prefixes.csv`.
(suggested by @YDX-2147483647 in #147 and #149, added in #150)
For example, here is how your config file `.explcheckrc` might look if you
would like to only take into account the deprecations and prefixes from
TeX Live 2024 and earlier:
``` toml
[defaults]
l3obsolete_max_deprecated_date = "2024-03-30"
l3prefixes_max_first_registered_date = "2024-11-18"
```
You may get these dates by running the script `generate-explcheck-latex3.lua`
with files `l3obsolete.txt` and `l3prefixes.csv` from TeX Live 2024 placed in
the current working directory or other locations indexed by the KPathSea
library. Here is the output of the script:
```
LPEG parsers and other information extracted from LaTeX3 data files.
Generated on 2025-11-06 from the following files:
- "l3obsolete.txt" with the latest obsolete entry from 2024-03-30
- "l3prefixes.csv" with the latest registered prefix from 2024-11-18
```
You may also just use the dates of the last update to TeX Live 2024
(2025-03-09) for both options, see https://tug.org/historic, directory
`systems/texlive/2024/tlnet-final`.
#### Fixes
This version of explcheck has fixed the following bugs:
- Fix an attempt to index a nil value in function `count_segments()` from the
file `explcheck-evaluation.lua`. (#150)
This bug would surface when printing results for files whose processing
stopped before the syntactic analysis step.
#### Continuous integration
This version of explcheck has made the following changes to our continuous
integration:
- Use historic files "l3obsolete.txt" and "l3prefixes.csv" in CI. (#150)
- Include example files from the `doc` subtree in regression tests. (#150)
This has reduced code coverage from ca 24% to 21% of all expl3 tokens on
TeX Live 2024 and from ca 22% to 20% on current TeX Live 2025 (2025-11-06).
- Check if the configuration is minimal even for expl3 files without any
issues. (#150)
This is necessary to prevent incorrect recommendations to remove unnecessary
default settings from the file `.explcheckrc` in the script
`prune-explcheck-config.lua`.
- Bump actions/checkout from 5 to 6. (contributed by @dependabot in #151)
