On Thu, 29 Mar 2012 Uwe Lück submitted the
bitelist
package.
Summary description: split list at list inside in TeX's mouth
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
`bitelist.sty' provides commands for splitting a token list
at the first occurrence of a contained token list. I.e., for given
token lists s, t return b and shortest a, such that t = a s b.
As opposed to other packages providing similar features,
(i) the method uses TeX's mechanism of reading delimited macro
parameters;
(ii) the splitting macros work by pure expansion, without
assignments, provided the macro doing the search has been
defined before processing (e.g., a file);
(iii) instead of using one macro for a substring test and another
one to replace the substring--which includes extracting
corresponding prefix and suffix--, the *same* macro that
detects the occurrence returns the split;
(iv) e-TeX is not required.
(And LaTeX is not required.) This improves `fifinddo.sty' (v0.51).
An elaborated approach (additionally to a simpler one) is provided
that does not loose outer braces of prefix/suffix.
Substring detection and string replacement are (implicitly)
included with respect to certain representations of characters by tokens.
Counting occurrences and global replacement could be achieved
by applying the operation to earlier results, etc.--so
this approach seems to be fundamental for a certain larger
set of list analysis tasks.
The documentation aims to prove the correctness of the methods
with mathematical rigour.

tikzpfeile
package.
Summary description: A LaTeX package for drawing arrows using PGF/TikZ
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In mathematical texts that contain commutative diagrams created with PGF/TikZ,
it might be disturbing that regular arrows (such as
ightarrow) and the
PGF/TikZ arrows in the diagrams have different heads. This package defines
commands that draw arrows using PGF/TikZ. Using these instead of the regular
arrows makes your document look more consistent. Moreover, using PGF/TikZ, a lot
more different arrow types can be drawn.
