Javier Bezos López submitted an update to the babel package. Version: 3.28 2019-04-01 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes ------- - Fixes - wrong dir after math, in math inside tabular, in weak L inside R inside L, and in boxes inside math. - abelfont now takes into account defaultfontfeatures.

Richard Zach submitted the ucalgmthesis package. Version: 2019-03-30 License: mit lppl Summary description: LaTeX thesis class for University of Calgary Faculty of Graduate Studies Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ucalgmthesis.cls is a LaTeX class file that produces documents according to the thesis guidelines of the University of Calgary Faculty of Graduate Studies. It uses the memoir class, which provides very powerful and flexible mechanisms for book design and layout. All memoir commands for changing chapter and section headings, page layout, fancy foot- and endnotes, typesetting poems, etc., can be used. (Memoir is meant as a replacement for the standard LaTeX classes, so all standard LaTeX commands such as chapter, section, etc., still work.) Likewise, any of memoir’s class options can be passed as options to ucalgmthesis, in particular 12pt to select 12 point type (11 point is the default). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/ucalgmthesis The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ucalgmthesis/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
