Summary description: Endnotes for LaTeX
Announcement text:
## v0.5.0 (2024-12-03) ### Changed - The support for running headers in `\printpostnotes`, which previously generated its data by means of an internal cross-reference structure, has migrated to use the generalized mark mechanism provided by the `ltmarks` kernel module instead. This was a long due change, since `ltmarks` is *the* right tool for the task, but unfortunately was not available when `postnotes` was originally developed and released. In practice, we get improved functionality replacing what was a complicated cross-reference setup with a straightforward application of `ltmarks`. Very neat, if I may say so. Hat tip to `ltmarks` devs. ### Deprecated - The header support variables `\pnhdpagefirst`, `\pnhdpagelast`, `\pnhdchapfirst`, `\pnhdchaplast`, `\pnhdsectfirst`, `\pnhdsectlast`, `\pnhdnamefirst`, and `\pnhdnamelast` are deprecated in favor of the new `ltmarks` based mark classes. - For the sake of stability, the package still provides a "legacy" version of these variables, set using `ltmarks` data. This is meant to provide a window of opportunity for users to migrate to the new system smoothly, but *migrate you must*, since *these variables will be removed in the future*. Migrating should range somewhere between "very easy" and "trivial", and intervention is only needed if you used any of these variables to build custom headers. See the User manual for updated examples. - Also note that this "legacy version" of the variables require one more compilation run to converge, so there's also a clear benefit for you to adjust sooner rather than later.

postnotes – Endnotes for LaTeX
This is an endnotes package for LaTeX. Its user interface provides means to print multiple sections of notes along the document, and to subdivide them either automatically — by chapter, by section — or at manually specified places, thus being able to easily handle both numbered and unnumbered headings. The package also provides infrastructure for setting up contextual running headers for printed notes. The default is a simple but useful one, in the form “Notes to pages N-M”, but more elaborate ones can be built. When hyperref is loaded, postnotes provides hyperlinked notes, including back links.
