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

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 This release fixes bugs in the modern-mode header, the extensibility
 API, and the information block, and improves robustness of the class
 internals.

 Bug fixes:
 - Fixed modern-mode header overflowing the right margin for long
   sender names: the header parbox width is now computed via
   \dimexpr\paperwidth-50mm\relax (160 mm on A4) instead of the invalid
   \paperwidth-50mm literal
 - Fixed \addinfoblockrow rendering stray text in the label column:
   the empty-value test now expands the argument into a helper macro
   before testing, so both internal macros and literal text passed
   by the user are handled correctly
 - Fixed \addinfoblockrow producing no output when none of the
   built-in fields (yourref, ourref, contactname, etc.) are set;
   the visibility guard now also checks for custom rows via
   \addinfoblockrow
 - Fixed incorrect icon name in the documentation
   (\faXTwitter -> \faTwitter)

 New behaviour:
 - \addfooteritem now emits a class warning (\ClassWarningNoLine)
   when called without the modern option, instead of silently
   doing nothing
 - \setfromname is deprecated; a class warning now recommends
   using \setfromfirstname and \setfromlastname instead

 Internal improvements:
 - DIN 5008 window geometry centralised as named length constants
   (\@obb@din*) shared by the picture-mode overlay and the TikZ
   guides overlay, eliminating the previous drift between the
   two rendering paths
 - Modern-style calibration values (header/footer position, font
   sizes) replaced by named constants for maintainability
 - Footer field rendering consolidated into a single helper macro
   (\@obb@renderfooterfield), removing five copies of the
   separator logic
 - Return-address width measurement extracted to
   \@obb@measurereturnaddress, shared between validation
   and rendering
