Version v0.15.12 of SILE has been released and is available for download! See the included CHANGELOG.md or review the commit history for more explicit details.
The last release went out with really obnoxious inverted logic for a deprecation message that spammed the terminal warning users when their usage of various modules was correct and up to date and not when they were using a deprecated interface. This just puts the noise to rest.
Version v0.15.11 of SILE has been released and is available for download! See the included CHANGELOG.md or review the commit history for more explicit details.
This release isn't ground breaking, but it is line breaking. A major bug in our hyphenation algorithm went undetected for a long time because (by a virtue of a bug canceling out a bug) it didn't happen to affect English or Turkish—far and away the most utilized languages in SILE's history. But it did affect French, where Didier Willis found and squashed it. Hyphenation minima settings should be properly set for many other languages now and follow the current language. Several languages also got hyphenation pattern updates.
In other minor details, length and measurement types no longer silently 'succeeds' when asked to parse non-compliant input.
Additionally disabling the (default on) variablespaces setting will actually take effect now and not continue to use any of the related settings in some contexts.

Version v0.15.10 of SILE has been released and is available for download! See the included CHANGELOG.md or review the commit history for more explicit details.
This release brings yet another layer of improvements contributed by Didier Willis, especially to the bibliography and indexing features.
The bibliography system now uses CSL (Citation Style Language) by default, with enhanced support for grouped citations via \cites, better name formatting, and improved style compliance.
The indexer received significant upgrades including page range collapsing, customizable styling hooks, flexible placement in documents, and language-aware sorting.
Font handling saw improvements with new ex-height and cap-height adjustments, particularly benefiting code and verbatim text display.
The CLI also gained a new argument to streamline the process of loading 3rd party modules.
SILE has always found packages in specific system or relative locations easily, but setting the path to custom LuaRocks trees was not trivial.
A new --luarocks-tree argument should make it much simpler to match however you install with .
Other notable changes include avoiding hyphenation prior to page breaks, and fixes for various language-specific issues including Uyghur hyphenation and UTF-16 handling. Warning messages involving unsupported languages should also make more sense and not spam the terminal over and over.

Version v0.15.9 of SILE has been released and is available for download! See the included CHANGELOG.md or review the commit history for more explicit details.
This release actually fixes build issues for macOS (Darwin) we tried to fix in v0.15.8 but were more involved than first suspected. It also packages some CSL files that were missing from previous source distributions and touches up a few other odds and ends.
In non-build related changes, Didier Willis patched up some bibliography behaviour. As a cherry on top I patched up the ability to generate a completely blank PDF without throwing an error and changed the outputter API to include an official way to throw an error without also generating a blank PDF.
build: Bundle XML and CSL resources with bibtex package (#2201) (73ffcd5)
build: Correct dependencies in non-embedded mode (5805cd4)

docker: Package bootstrap script so Docker images can be built from source tarballs (15a18c0)
packages: CSL subsequent-author-substitute is optional (680df8c)
Version v0.15.8 of SILE has been released and is available for download! See the included CHANGELOG.md or review the commit history for more explicit details.
This release fixes build issues for macOS (Darwin) we introduced back in v0.15.6 that have been holding back releases on Homebrew and Nix's Darwin support.
In addition to the build support, the macfonts font loader has been tweaked to support fallback to fontconfig when a font is not found so it will behave more similarly to Linux builds.
On all platforms, CLI output is a bit cleaner. Many runtime errors now output cleaner message formatting instead of a jumble of joined lines. Also some error chains where one error would trigger another have been resolved.
The math support continues to be refined by Didier Willis, this release bringing a few new commands and features, better behavior parity with MathML, and a couple bug fixes.
build: Fix Lua module detection to fail if not found (18f707b)
build: Remove obsolete workaround for macOS dependency paths (3fb891a)
