Alain Matthes submitted an update to the
tkz-elements
package.
Version: 4.50c 2026-01-25
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
New in version 4.50c
Introduction of the angle class (experimental), providing a
dedicated object for oriented and non-oriented angles.
Introduction of the list_point class (experimental), a container
for ordered collections of points.
Improvements and fixes across core classes (circle, line, point,
quadrilateral, conic).
New matrix algorithms (gauss_jordan, rank) and rewritten triangle
angle handling.
Ongoing documentation restructuring, with systematic tables of
attributes and methods, cross-referenced throughout the manual.
The new classes angle and list_point are marked as experimental:
their interfaces are stable enough for use, but they are not yet
fully integrated into all parts of the ecosystem.

Fixed a bug which occurs when \undernote command is used in mathmode.
From version 1.3.1 onwards, you can use \undernote command in math mode as follows:
\[\undernote{x + y}{In the equation envriomnemt.} = \undernote{\frac{a}{b}}{No problem.}\]
Some commands which are allowed to use only in math mode can be used in the argument of \undernote.
