Jürgen Spitzmüller submitted an update to the
babel-german
package.
Version: 2.11 2018-12-08
License: lppl1.3
Summary description: Babel support for documents written in German
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This release fixes an old hyphenation regression which was introduced
with babel 3.7 (16 years ago!) in a number of shorthands: Since then,
allowhyphens is deactivated in T1 encoding. Thus, hyphenation did not
work as intended in T1 with shorthands that used allowhyphens.
As a fix, babel-german now uses bl@allowhyphens which is synonymous
to allowhyphens, except that it works in T1, in these shorthands.
Affected by this change: a o u A O U f | shorthands, and the ck macro.
Note that this change might affect line/page breaking. But then, the
unnoticed regression fixed here did so as well.
This change also restitutes compatibility with [n]german.sty for the
mentioned shorthands.

Summary description: BibTeX style for economics papers
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My name is Shiro Takeda. I am an author and maintainer of econ.bst.
I would like to add my econ.bst to CTAN archive. econ.bst is a BibTeX
style file mainly for economics paper. It provids the following features:
* The author-year type citation (you need `natbib.sty` as well).
* Reference style used in economics papers (`econ.bst` is not a BibTeX
style for a specific journal).
* Highly customizable. You can easily customize reference style as you
wish.
* You can use certified random order proposed by Ray ⓡ Robson (2018,
American Economic Review), http://dx.doi.org/10.1257/aer.20161492.
The third and fourth features are key characteristics of econ.bst.
