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.

KKTeX submitted an update to the
modernruler
package.
Version number: 1.3.1 2026-01-26
License type: mit
Summary description: Flexible ruler and annotation commands with key-value
support and vertical writing compatibility
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Jürgen Spitzmüller submitted an update to the
babel-german
package.
Version: 2.99 2026-01-24
License: lppl1.3
Summary description: Babel support for documents written in German
Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release marks a major rewrite of babel-german. Next to minor bug fixes, the release features the following major changes:
* The sources and manuals of the previously separate 1901 and 1996 orthography (a.k.a. german and ngerman) have been merged into one common source and manual.
* New language option names are introduced: german-at, german-ch, german-de (alias german-austria, german-germany, german-switzerland) for contemporary (1996) orthography, german-at-1901, german-ch-1901, german-de-1901 (alias german-austria-1901, german-germany-1901, german-switzerland-1901) for traditional (1901) orthography. The received options (austrian, german, swissgerman, naustrian, ngerman, nswissgerman) are kept with their meaning, but discouraged from now on.
* By default and when using the new language options, babel-german now uses the new (exptl) hyphenation patterns. The received options keep using the legacy patterns by default.
* Introduce \germansetup for option specification. The capsz and toss options now also can be set this way (with a more general scope).
* Hyphenation patterns can now be specified directly (via \germansetup, in addition to the \babelprovide method which has a more granular scope)
* Introduce option "glottonyms" that specifies whether the option "german" activates old or contemporary orthography. By default, it still activates old, but this will change in a future version (presumably for TL 2026).
* Fix some shorthands (particularly their vmode behavior)
The manual includes elaborations about these changes, the rationales and future directions.
Also note that the package moved home. Find it now at https://codeberg.org/jspitz/babel-german
