  • Recent (-ish) changes in beamer mean the textinst option no longer has any effect. It is still defined but is no longer documented.
  • The functionality of \inst and \and in the beamerswitch implementation of \maketitle in article mode has been restored (issue #17). The effect of \and within \institute is configurable using \articlelayout, defaulting to a line break.
  • Two new class options, articleoptions and beameroptions, have been added to simplify passing options to the article and beamer classes. By using beameroptions, it is now possible to prevent beamerswitch passing the ignorenonframetext option to beamer.

Version 1.7

  • Two new handout layouts have been added, for printing one slide per page. With nup=1, the slide takes up the whole page, while with nup=1plus the slide takes up half a page, leaving the rest for handwritten notes.

Version 1.6.1

  • This updates expl3 syntax used behind the scenes. There are no user-visible changes.

Version 1.6

  • If a filename contains spaces, LaTeX wraps the jobname in quotes. This previously prevented beamerswitch recognising the mode-related suffixes. Now the tests use a copy of the jobname with any enclosing quote marks removed.

Version 1.5

  • Removed empty boxes that appeared at the end of a handout when border option was used with \handoutlayout. Those boxes were never intended to be there, but if you relied on this misbehaviour and would like the option to restore them, please report this on the Issue Tracker.
  • Improved indexing of documentation.

Version 1.4.1

  • Fixed a long-standing bug that previously spoilt multipage handouts when using page numbers in XeLaTeX, and which was made much worse in v1.4.

  • Handout page numbers are now counted instead of calculated, and positioned without disturbing the rest of the page layout.

Version 1.4

The changes in this release mainly relate to handout mode, specifically the \handoutlayout command:

  • It is now possible to adjust the margin around slides.
  • A new option align can be used to even out the distances inbetween slides, and between slides and the page edges.
  • The way defaults are set for \handoutlayout no longer triggers a bug in pgfpages.
  • Fixed a bug in how page numbers are calculated (the number could be off by one when using nup=2, 6 or 8).

There have also been some documentation improvements.

Version 1.3
