Oliver Beery submitted an update to the

                fontscale

package.

Version: 3.0.0 2024-10-05

Summary description: A flexible interface for setting font sizes

Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

## [v3.0.0] - 2024-10-05

### Added
- Added new `expl3` public variables that store the current font step, font
  scale, font size, and font baselineskip. They are set in the `selectfont` hook.
  - `\l_fontscale_step_fp`
  - `\l_fontscale_scale_fp`
  - `\l_fontscale_size_dim`
  - `\l_fontscale_baselineskip_skip`

### Changed
- This update includes some changes that are backwards incompatible.
- The package commands now use the above variables instead of `\f@size` and
  `\f@baselineskip`. This changes the behavior of `\CurrentFontStep`,
  `\CurrentFontScale`, and `\CurrentFontSize` within the second argument of
  `\fontsize` because `\fontsize` sets `\f@size` to the new font size before
  expanding its second argument.
- `\PrintFontSizeCommand` no longer tests if the current font baselineskip
  equals the font baselineskip of any font size command from `\tiny` to `\Huge`.
- `\SetFontStep` now rounds the new font step to 5 decimal places. This is
  important when checking if it equals the font step of any font size command
  from `\tiny` to `\Huge`.
- A default `pt` is now appended only in user-level commands, not in internal `expl3` functions.
- `\fontscalesetup` now processes the keys slightly faster when the key `<font
  size command>/baselineskip` is not set.
- Documentation improvements.

### Removed
- `\CurrentFontSizeCommand` (redundant with `\CurrentFontSize` and `\CurrentFontBaselineskip`)

### Fixed
- The error message for `\SetFontStep*` when the current font step is undefined
  no longer writes `\SetFontStep*`. This would be incorrect if its
  corresponding internal function was used instead of `\SetFontStep*`.
- The internal functions of `\PrintSampleText` now correctly enclose their contents within a group.
