Announcement text:
### Added - Documentation: - Examples for `halign code` and warning at `halign` (issue #361) - Macro `\renewthetcbcounter` to allow redefinition of `\thetcbcounter` - Alias `counter within` for `number within` - Alias `counter within from` for `number within from` - Library `theorems`: - Options `ams subequations`, `ams subequations upper`, and `ams subequations lower` (issue #366) - Options `ams subequations align`, `ams subequations align upper`, and `ams subequations align lower` - Options `ams subequations gather`, `ams subequations gather upper`, and `ams subequations gather lower` - Library `documentation`: - More semantic description in key documentation (issue #354) - Options `doclang/default`, `doclang/initially`, `doclang/initiallyempty`, `doclang/nodefault`, `doclang/noinitially` - `\tcbdocdescNoDefaultInit`, `\tcbdocdescInitEmpty`, `\tcbdocdescInit`, `\tcbdocdescDefault`, `\tcbdocdescDefaultInitEmpty`, `\tcbdocdescDefaultInit` - Options `doc description no default init`, `doc description init empty`, `doc description init`, `doc description default`, `doc description default init empty`, `doc description default init` - List of choices inside `\docKeyChoices`, `doc key choices` now take options `default`, `init`, `defaultinit` - Options `doc parameter eq`, `doc parameter eq meta`, `doc parameter eq marg`, `doc parameter eq meta*`, `doc parameter eq marg*` - Options `doc parameter marg`, `doc parameter oarg`, `doc parameter marg marg`, `doc parameter oarg marg`, `doc parameter marg oarg` ### Changed - Required LaTeX version bumped to 2025-06-01 - Internal code changes - Tagging code adapted to fix https://github.com/latex3/tagging-project/issues/1114 - Implementation for numbered boxes is partially rewritten using the L3 API - Documentation: Replace `minted2` with `minted` v3 for production since `minted` v3.8.0 has fixed incompatibility with Python 3.14 (https://github.com/gpoore/minted/issues/463) - Documentation: Manually composed label references replaced by `\zvref` (where sensible, issue #348) ### Fixed - Library `documentation`: - Add missing spaces in a `\docKeyChoices` warning (pull request #360) - Documentation for `index key formatter`, `index key formatters`, `page ref formatter`, `ctan formatter` - Changelog typos corrected (pull request #359) - `\thetcbcounter` was not completely redefined using `\counterwithout` / `\counterwithin` (issue #362) - Code style improved with explcheck (issue #235)

tcolorbox – Coloured boxes, for LaTeX examples and theorems, etc
This package provides an environment for coloured and framed text boxes with a heading line. Optionally, such a box may be split in an upper and a lower part; thus the package may be used for the setting of LaTeX examples where one part of the box displays the source code and the other part shows the output. Another common use case is the setting of theorems. The package supports saving and reuse of source code and text parts.
The package depends on the pgf, verbatim, environ, and etoolbox packages.
