+\section{\pkg{l3build} changes}
+
+The \pkg{l3build} tool for testing and releasing \TeX{} packages
+has seen a number of incremental improvements. It is now available directly
+as a script in \TeX{} Live and MiK\TeX{}, meaning you can call it simply
+as
+\begin{verbatim}
+l3build <target>
+\end{verbatim}
+Accompanying this, we have added support for installing scripts and script
+\texttt{man} files.
+
+There is a new \texttt{upload} target that can take a zip file and send it to
+\textsc{ctan}: you just have to fill in release information for \emph{this}
+upload at the prompts.
+
+Testing using \textsc{pdf} files rather than logs has been heavily revised:
+this is vital for work on \textsc{pdf} tagging.
+
+There is also better support for complex directory structures, including the
+ability to manually specify \textsc{tds} location for all installed files. This
+is particularly targeted at package with both generic and format-specific file
+to install.
