CTAN update: stocksize

João M. Lourenço submitted an update to the

                   stocksize

package.

Version:  2.0.1  2026-01-01
License:  lppl1.3c

Summary description:  A flexible and easy interface to paper (stock) dimensions

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

 Version 2.0.1 fixes the date and version number in the documentation.

 Version 2.0.0 introduces a major rewrite of the `stocksize` package.
 The update fundamentally changes the implementation to provide a more
 robust and reliable mechanism for managing nested page size changes.

 The key changes are:

 - Stack-Aware Geometry: Instead of a custom implementation, the
   package now patches `geometry`’s internal `\newgeometry` and
   `\restoregeometry` commands, making them operate as a true
   LIFO stack. This ensures that nested layout changes can be
   reliably restored in the correct order.

 - Automatic Physical Size Sync: The physical PDF page dimensions
   (e.g., `\pdfpagewidth`) are now automatically synchronized with
   the logical layout (`\paperwidth`) whenever the geometry is
   altered with the `\newstocksize{}` command.

 - New `patch-geometry` Option: A package option `[patch-geometry]`
   has been added to automatically synchronize the physical PDF page
   dimensions (e.g., `\pdfpagewidth`) and logical layout (`\paperwidth`)
   whenever the geometry is altered with the `\newgeometry{}` command.
