    From CTAN Announcements@21:1/5 to All on Fri Feb 28 13:18:38 2025
    Christian Tellechea submitted an update to the

    spreadtab

    package.

    Version: 0.6
    License: lppl1.3c

    Summary description: Spreadsheet features for LaTeX tabular environments

    Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    spreatab v0.6
    -------------
    New in v0.6:

    1. l3fp is now the only possible calculation engine, so it is mandatory to
    use a version of LaTeX later than the integration of xfp into the kernel
    on 2022/06/01.
    2. Support for the old fp calculation engine is permanently discontinued.
    3. The package options are discontinued since there is no longer a choice of
    calculation engine.
    4. The environment now operates in a semi-simple group.
    5. The simplekv package is loaded to use the key/value system. The macro
    \STset{keys=values} is made available.
    6. /!\ Change in syntax: the optional argument of \begin{spreatdab} now
    exclusively accepts keys/values, and thus:
    * \STsavecell is replaced by the key "save list."
    * \STdebug and \STdisplaytab are replaced by the key "debug."
    This will break the previous use of the optional argument, but this change
    is required!
    7. If \STxp is present in the table, the macro triggers the full expansion of
    its argument when reading the table.
    8. The macro \STmakegtag is removed. Assignments via the macro-function 'tag'
    are always global due to point 4.
    9. The 'tag' function, if the key "tag to aux" key is set to 'true', writes
    the assignments to the .aux file.
    10. The key "aux save list" with value 'macroA=cellA, macroB=cellB,...' writes
    the assignments to the .aux file.
    11. The macros \STautoround, \STsetdecimalsep, \STeol, \STsetdisplaymarks,
    \STmessage, \STnumericfieldmarker, \STtranposechar, and \STtextcell,
    although still functional (but no longer documented), will be removed in
    the next version in favor of \STset{key=value}.
    12. The macro-functions 'ifeq', 'ifgt', and 'iflt' will be removed in the next
    version since l3fp has the '?' operator.
    13. Formatting, cleaning, and code improvements.
