CTAN update: texosquery

[CTAN Announcements]

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.
