Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the bnumexpr package. Version number: 1.6 2025-09-05 License type: lppl1.3c Summary description: Extends eTeX’s \numexpr...\relax construct to big integers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- \bnumeval extends LaTeX's \inteval with support for arbitrarily big integers, // for floored division, /: for the associated remainder, ^ and ** for powers, ! for factorials. A user interface allows to add new operators to the syntax, or to modify the behavior of existing ones. The package can also be used under Plain (pdf|xe|lua)TeX, with help of miniltx. The 1.6 release adds: - 0b, 0o (and '), 0x are recognized as prefixes for binary, octal, and hexadecimal (formerly, only " for hexadecimal was provided). - \bnumeval accepts an optional argument [b], [o] or [h], which tells to convert the output to binary, octal, or hexadecimal. - characters (such as ! and : with French) which are Babel-active with the pdftex engine are out-of-the-box compatible. There are some breaking changes (mainly, the replacement of \evaltohex by \bnumeval[h]), check the PDF documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/bnumexpr More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/bnumexpr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Camden Bock submitted the maine-thesis package. Version: 2.0.0 2025-09-05 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: A document class for University of Maine graduate theses Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Package ‘maine-thesis’ provides support for the formating requirements for graduate theses of the Graduate School at The university of Maine. It sets default parameters for the report class, modifies captions, references, and the table of contents, and makes specific environments available. Key Features Modernized Codebase: - Version 2.0.0 is a complete refactor of the previous version. It uses a .dtx file format to generate both the class file (maine-thesis.cls) and its documentation from a single source, which streamlines maintenance. - The class now uses modern packages like biblatex with the Biber backend for citation management, replacing a simpler, older approach. - New dependencies like fontspec, microtype, and hyperref have been added for more robust font, typography, and hyperlinking capabilities. Improved User Interface: - The new version introduces clearer, named macros for setting heading styles, such as \apaheadings, \chicagoheadings, and \idecimalheadings, replacing the old numerical counter system. Caption formatting has also been unified with \DeclareCaptionFormat{thesis}, providing a single command for customization. Updated Formatting and Requirements: - The class file has been updated to align with the latest Graduate School requirements. - It removes deprecated commands like \libraryrights and \dissacceptance because the Graduate School no longer requires these pages for electronic submission. The biography environment now automatically inserts the final required sentence, which can use a pronoun specified by the \authorpronoun command. - It also includes an optional command, \glsa, to generate the official University of Maine Graduate School Land Acknowledgment. Streamlined Environments: - The \appendix command has been updated and now works within the appendices environment. - The multiappendices option replaces the old \multipleappendicestrue command for managing multiple appendices. - The \preliminary and \mainmatter commands now handle page numbering and document structure more reliably. - The main.tex file now coordinates other files using \include{...} statements for better organization and easier drafting. Enhanced Functionality: - The class file supports the draft option, which adds a "DRAFT" watermark, line numbers, and marks overfull lines, making it useful for sharing review copies. - You can use \compresstitlepage to adjust line spacing on the title page to prevent it from spilling onto a second page. - The \ignore and \comment commands, sourced from the changes package, provide useful tools for managing content during the drafting process. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/maine-thesis The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/maine-thesis/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: xint

06 Sep '25

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the xint package. Version: 1.4n 2025-09-05 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Expandable arbitrary precision floating point and integer operations Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- – The xintexpr syntax now recognizes in addition to " for hexadecimal, the prefix ' for octal. - It also implements the prefixes 0x, 0o and 0b (with possibly a fractional part). - \xintiieval admits an optional parameter [h], [o], [b] for conversion of the integer output to hexadecimal, octal, or binary. – Babel active characters are auto-taming in \xinteval. It is now possible to use xintexpr also with OpTeX and ConTeXt-LMTX. Refer to xintchanges.md for more details. The file sourcexint.pdf has been removed because xint.pdf now contains both the user manual and the commented source code (i.e. it is the xint-all.pdf which could be built from sources in 2022 with hyperlinking back and forth from user manual to commented source code). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/generic/xint More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/xint -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
