Template-Latex version 2.16 released and has a new maintainer

Andy Wardley noted in recent emails that he had removed the
Latex plugin 
from the core Template Toolkit distribution, and that he had
created a 
new Template-Latex distribution.

I have agreed to take over the maintenance of the
Template-Latex 
distribution.  I have uploaded version 2.16 of
Template-Latex (as 
prepared by AW) to CPAN.   There is a subversion repository
at:

    svn://svn.tt2.org/Template-Latex/

We will keep discussion of the Latex plugin on the main
Template Toolkit 
mailing list initially. 

I want to put together a wish-list of developments to the
plugin   To 
start with I have an old patch to make more of LaTeX's
capabilities 
available, i.e. to get the latex filter to run bibtex and
makeindex on a 
LaTeX document if necessary and to re-run latex if latex
issues warnings 
about unresolved symbols.  I will add that to the wish-list
and also my 
concerns about the security implications of allowing
templates to 
specify program paths.

I would like to hear from people who are actively using the
latex filter 
with any suggestions and comments.

Regards
Andrew

I'd like to offer my public thanks to Andrew for doing
this.

I guess that's another good reason for moving non-core TT
bits out of 
the core - to make it easier to hand over to other people to
take 
responsibility for them.

If there's anyone interested in doing the same with
Template-GD or 
Template-XML then please get in touch.

Cheers
A
