Hans,

Thank you for fixing the \placepublications argument issue bug.
I confirm that the current beta now works correctly.

I remind you of the \placecontents bug in a structured document.
The attached minimal example illustrates the erroneous inclusion
of appendix sections in the partial table of contents
in the bodymatter chapters.
(Chapter 1 toc also includes Appendix A sections,
Chapter 2 toc also includes Appendix B sections, …)
