Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This package helps to draw systems of intermeshing gears with METAPOST. This package allows users
to model various gears/rack and gear/rack systems
(and even spirographs). Because with METAPOST, we do not need to declare numeric variable, with mp-gears, we define parameters (in table) associated to un numeric identifier and then we manipulate the gear object with this numeric identifier.
This package is in beta version—do not hesitate to report bugs, as well as requests for improvement

David Purton submitted an update to the
biblatex-sbl
package.
Version: 2.0 2026-04-29
License: lppl1.3
Summary description: Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) style files for BibLaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After many years of slow development, biblatex-sbl v2.0 is finally released!
Highlights include:
- Full support for every example in the SBL Handbook of Style 2nd ed., SBLHS Student Supplement and SBLHS blog.
- Documentation showing how to set up and cite bib entries for every supported example.
- Advanced handling of first and subsequent citations in running text and footnotes.
- Support for a variety of types of reprints.
- Comprehensive support for abbreviations, including citing reference works, ancient works and general abbreviations.
- Support for citing ancient works by both source division and text collection page, including indicating the translator if needed.
- German translation strings
Important Note:
v2.0 breaks compatibility with the v0.x releases in a number of ways. This is both because SBL style has become a rolling style that is continually updated at the blog and lack of development time to maintain many levels of backwards compatibility.
