What's new in version 4.0 ========================= ** Support for collaborative annotations suggested by Michael Kubovy ** Support for "targeted" notes and environments (highlighting a portion of text), suggested by Mark Edgington. ** Support for "floating" notes (not specific to any portion of text), suggested by Rasmus Villemoes. ** Support for alternate layout autoswitch in TeX's inner mode suggested by Will Robertson. ** Support for automatic language tracking in multilingual documents ** Support for themes ** Extended support for user-provided layouts ** Support for key=value argument syntax in the whole user interface ** New command \fxsetup ** Homogenize log and console messages ** Heavy internals refactoring Description =========== FiXme is a collaborative annotation tool for LaTeX documents. Annotating a document refers here to inserting meta-notes, that is, notes that do not belong to the document itself, but rather to its development or reviewing process. Such notes may involve things of different importance levels, ranging from simple "fix the spelling" flags to critical "this paragraph is a lie" mentions. Annotations like this should be visible during the development or reviewing phase, but should normally disapear in the final version of the document. FiXme is designed to ease and automate the process of managing collaborative annotations, by offering a set of predefined note levels and layouts, the possibility to register multiple note authors, to reference annotations by listing and indexing etc. FiXme is extensible, giving you the possibility to create new layouts or even complete "themes", and also comes with support for AUC-TeX.
