The following changes have been implemented since the last release in TL2012:

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
savetrees
package.
Summary description: Pack as much text as possible onto each page of a LaTeX document
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The goal of the savetrees package is to pack as much text as
possible onto each page of a LaTeX document. Admittedly,
this makes the document far less attractive. Nevertheless,
savetrees is a simple way to save paper when printing draft
copies of a document. It can also be useful when trying to
meet a tight page-length requirement for a conference or
journal submission.
Version 2.1 introduces a convenient set of package
meta-options -- subtle, moderate, and extreme -- which
encapsulate useful subsets of savetrees's space-saving
techniques. In addition, savetrees now knows how to reduce
space within and between mathematical expressions. Finally,
to complement the documentation, the package includes a new
demonstration file, st-sample2.pdf, which showcases
savetrees's ability to reduce document white space.
