Francesco Luciano submitted an update to the

                 onlinebrief24

package.

Version:  2026-03-27
License:  lppl1.3c

Summary description:  Class for DIN 5008 type-B business letters for use with onlinebrief24.de

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 This release adds extensibility features, improves code quality,
 and expands documentation and test coverage.

 New commands:
 - \addfooteritem{icon}{text} appends custom items to the modern-mode
   footer (fontawesome5 icon + label, separated by the standard
   vertical bar)
 - \addinfoblockrow{label}{value} appends custom rows to the DIN-style
   information block (empty values are silently omitted)
 - \setinfoblocktopoffset, \setinfoblockrightedge, \setinfoblockcolwidths
   allow tuning the information-block position and column widths
   from the document preamble without editing the class file

 Bug fixes:
 - Fixed a bug where empty lines between localized label blocks
   could cause unwanted \par tokens during class loading
 - Replaced non-ASCII characters in comments and guides labels
   with ASCII-safe variants for improved robustness across
   all TeX engines

 Internationalization:
 - Expanded localized infoblock labels: now fully supports and
   verifies german, english, french, spanish, italian, dutch,
   and polish
 - Dedicated ngerman infoblock label duplicates dropped; the
   German labels now serve as the shared fallback for both
   German variants

 Internal improvements:
 - Return-address font size centralised as named macros to
   eliminate duplication
 - DIN 5008 window coordinates extracted as named macros for
   maintainability
 - KOMA-Script internal macros used in \opening are now fully
   documented with rationale and risk/mitigation notes

 Documentation:
 - New Guides Mode section explaining the DIN 5008 zone overlay
 - New Extensibility section covering \addfooteritem,
   \addinfoblockrow, and the layout-tuning API
