Phuc Nguyen submitted an update to the
texchanges
bundle.
Version: 0.3.0 2026-08-18
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: LaTeX-native track changes for human and AI-assisted review
Announcement text:
Texchanges brings explicit tracked changes to LaTeX and Overleaf review workflows, with source-controlled additions, removals, replacements, comments, and review decisions. Version 0.3.0 makes babel translations apply to a document’s main language, localizes the report status names, keeps legacy reviewer labels intact in the texchanges-merge tool, and restores authormarkuptext=name on TeX Live 2023. The Overleaf bundle also names its compiled output the way Overleaf expects, so both example projects produce a PDF there. The archive now also ships editor completion files and log-level regression tests verified across pdfTeX, XeTeX, and LuaTeX.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/texchanges The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/texchanges/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

texchanges – LaTeX-native track changes for human and AI-assisted review
This package provides explicit tracked-change markup for LaTeX and Overleaf. It supports additions, removals, replacements, highlights, comments, authors, stable change IDs, decision statuses, filtered review reports, localization, visual presets, and an opt-in compatibility layer for the changes package. Native replacement commands use the readable old-to-new argument order.
The distribution also includes, the standard-library Python tool texchanges-merge for accepting, rejecting, filtering, and permanently resolving marked changes.
