jwscripts 20240531 released

I've released the new version of jwscripts. 20240531 is available at the project's Sourceforge page.

I've improved the logic in the texauto and mdauto compilation tools and added the bell on compile. My primary goal was to simplify the following use case:

  1. user has a working tex document
  2. user saves a minor change to the document
  3. pdflatex fails to compile the tex
  4. texauto exits
  5. user runs pdflatex interactively to get error message
  6. user fixes document
  7. user runs texauto to compile the document

Before, when pdflatex failed to compile, texauto would exit so that the user could run pdflatex interactively. Now, when pdflatex fails to compile, texauto reruns pdflatex interactively and exits at the first error.
