Nicola Talbot submitted an update to the
texosquery
package.
Version number: 1.2 2017-03-23
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Cross-platform Java application to query OS
information
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Now has three .jar files depending on the Java installation:
- texosquery-jre8.jar
Full application. May be used with the CLDR locale provider
(Unicode Consortium's Common Locale Data Repository).
Requires at least Java 8 (use with
java -Djava.locale.providers=CLDR,JRE or
add "java.locale.providers=CLDR,JRE" to the
JAVA_TOOLS_OPTIONS environment variable to access the CLDR)
- texosquery.jar
The default version of the application. Can't be used with
CLDR. Less locale support. Requires at least Java 7.
- texosquery-jre5.jar
Cut-down version of the application with significantly less
locale support. Provided for old systems that can't upgrade,
but not recommended. (Use of Java 5 or 6 is deprecated.)
Requires at least Java 5.
* New texosquery.cfg configuration file. Edit the definition
of \TeXOSInvokerName to indicate which application you
need to use. For example, if Java 8 is installed:
\def\TeXOSInvokerName{texosquery-jre8}
See the installation section of the manual for further details.
* New command line switches.
* Actions --list (-i) and --filterlist (-f) now have an
optional argument to indicate the sort order.
* When accessing file information, the TEXMF openin_any
setting is first checked to determine if read access is
permitted.
* Returned values now include some shorthand markup that's
internally converted when read in by \TeXOSQuery. For
example "texosquery -n" now returns
\pdfd \fcln 20161113161156\fpls 00\fcsq 00\fcsq
instead of
D:20161113161156+00'00'
To restore the original behaviour use --compatible 1
See manual for further details.
