I just released a new version of #Hieroglyphic, this version replaces the classification algorithm with a machine learning model trained on the data previously used to classify symbols, improving classification speed and overall accuracy (although some symbols are now classified less accurately due to lack of good training data).
To improve the training data, it is now also possible to submit recognized symbols (this is opt-in).
I'm happy to announce the first release of Hieroglyphic, a forked and updated version of TeX-Match, which helps to find LaTeX symbols by drawing them. It's available for download on Flathub (flathub.org/apps/io.github.fin…).
Guidance for authors has been published to facilitate creation of accessible HTML versions of submissions.

Someone made gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg… and it's the kind of patch that is hard to evaluate.
It's to allow restricting rsvg-convert to outputting certain PDF versions. Cairo's default is PDF 1.7, but that causes a warning when embedding such PDFs in #TeXLaTeX.
There are two cases of the relevant warning in texlive (github.com/search?q=repo%3ATeX…) - and as far as I can tell, both are ancient.
So, I'm torn between "having --pdf1.5 is gross in terms of usability" and "this lets people solve a problem".

Some applications do not support PDF 1.7 or at least have problems with it, e.g. latex. This merge request adds support for rsvg-convert to use cairo::PDFSurface::restrict() to pin...GitLab
FYI, there is an actively funded effort on behalf of the LaTeX Team to make PDF documents created with LaTeX accessible. With only two or three volunteers working in the project it is taking some time, but progress has been made. #TeXLaTeX

I just had whatever the opposite of 'future shock' is - I stumbled upon a telescope proposal from 2001 and I wondered if the #latex would compile - of course it did, and the proposal looked exactly as it should have.
In related news, I wrote my thesis in Word 98 and the next version refused to open one of my chapters for no obvious reason.
Plain text and openly documented image formats are definitely the way to future proof your work.... #astrodon #opensource #openscience #TeXLaTeX
