Walter Daems submitted an update to the
exsol
package.
Summary description: The package facilitates typesetting exercises and solutions from one LaTeX source to a separate solutions book.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The exsol package provides macros to allow for embedding exercises and solutions
in the LaTeX source of an instructional text (e.g., a book or a course text)
while generating the following separate documents:
- your original text that only contains the exercises, and
- a solution book that only contains the solutions to the exercises (a package option exists to also copy the exercises themselves to the solution book).
The former is generated when running LaTeX on your document. This run writes the
solutions to a secondary file that can be included into a simple document
harness, such that when running LaTeX on the latter, you can generate a nice
solution book.
The code of the exsol package was taken almost literally from fancyvrb [http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fancyvrb].
Therefore, all credits go to the authors/maintainers of fancyvrb.

Summary description: font loader for the Luatex engine
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is primarily a bugfix release intended as a step towards the stable version for the TL 2013 freeze. However, there are a few major changes:
* luaotfload-tool has been extended (see manpage, there is one now);
* fontloader sync’ed with current Context;
* for backwards compatibility the legacy font loader (v 1.3) is included and will be loaded if an old Luatex binary (pre Lua 5.2) is detected; ymmv.
