Sicheng Du submitted an update to the
maze
package.
Version: 1.3 2026-05-25
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description:
Announcement text:
Changes in this version 1. Added input validation for the `size` argument: it must be an integer in the range 2--99; the package now raises an error for out-of-range values. 2. Added a storage feature: `\mazesave{name}{size}[seed]` saves the rendered maze in a named box register so that the exact same maze can be reproduced later. Stored mazes also keep a solved overlay, and `\mazeuse[view]{name}` can typeset that overlay on demand.
This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/maze More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/maze
