mitthesis
package.
Version: 1.06 2023-08-29
License: mit
Summary description: A LaTeX template for MIT theses
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The mitthesis class formats an MIT thesis according to the current
requirements of the MIT Libraries. This class is new in 2023, and
it is a complete replacement for the original mitthesis.cls written
in the 1980s.
With this update, the bulk of the code has been moved to Expl3 from
LaTeX2e. The remaining LaTeX2e code has been streamlined.
Minor changes have been made to the user interface.
No changes have been made to the thesis format or design, apart from
a resizing of the optional Fira Sans font.
The pdf metadata required to be added by the user have been substantially
reduced. Additional support has been added for use outside MIT.

Frédéric P.A. Vogt submitted the
metsymb
package.
Version: 1.2.0
License: bsd3
Summary description: The package provides dedicated TeX commands to generate (vectorial) meteorological symbols
Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The metsymb package introduces commands to generate official meteorological
symbols with vectorial quality. As of this release, these include: oktas
(zerookta, oneokta, wooktas, ldots), cloud genera (cirrus, cirrostratus,
imbostratus, ...), and C_L / C_M / C_H cloud codes (clIII, cmVI, chIX,
...).
Individual symbols are designed using TikZ. They are then bundled into a
dedicated font with FontForge, and eventually tied to dedicted LaTeX commands.
The metsymb OpenType font is a side-product that can be used on its own. The
project lives on Github: https://github.com/MeteoSwiss/metsymb

Karl Berry submitted an update to the
texfot
package.
Version: 1.50 2023-08-29
License: pd
Summary description: Filter clutter from the output of a TeX run
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
texfot is a small Perl script to filter the online output from a TeX
run, attempting to show only those messages which are likely to deserve
some action. The TeX invocation itself remains unchanged.
This small update only adds a note to the documentation that setting
max_print_line can be useful to avoid TeX's folding of lines.
(Thanks to Patrick Breheny for the suggestion.)
Specifically:
# When errors are missed due to TeX's folding of lines:
texfot pdftex --cnf-line max_print_line=999 file.tex
# Equivalently:
env max_print_line=999 texfot pdftex file.tex
This program has no home page other than CTAN and no mailing lists.
Please send bug reports/requests/discussion directly to me,
karl(a)freefriends.org.
