version 0.8a – first upload to CTAN

This is the first release that will be uploaded to CTAN. So far xsim seems production ready. Now we will have to wait for feedback from users to clear any remaining issues.

xsim is the official successor of exsheets which is now considered obsolete but will stay alive and will still receive bugfix releases. However, new features will not be added to exsheets any more.

It has been quite a while since I first published exsheets in June 2012. Since then it has gained a user base and a little bit of popularity as the number of questions on TeX.sx shows. User questions, bug reports and feature requests improved it over the time. It still has a version number starting with a zero, though, which in my versioning system means I still consider it experimental.

This is due to several facts. It lacks a few features which I consider essential for a full version 1. For one thing it is not possible to have several kinds of exercises numbered independently. Using verbatim material such as listings inside exercises and solutions is not possible and the current workaround isn't really ideal either. One request which dates back quite a while now for example was to have different types of points to exercises…

All of those and several other issues aren't easy to add to exsheets due to the way the package is implemented. xsim now aims to resolve all those issues.
